Indeed.

And look at the girl’s age. She’s EIGHTEEN. That is NOT sexual abuse.

To call it ‘abuse’ demeans the very real abuse that hundreds of thousands of innocent people endure.

He overstepped his bounds but at least she was 18. And he is 27. At least he’s not one of these 35 year old women sleeping with a 15 year old. But because he has a penis he’s worse even though he’s not at all accused of rape.

Oh, but I get it now—it’s the news source making the title because they’re anti-abortion. I understand the position but they shouldn’t hype this up into something it’s not (abuse) just because it has a pro-life angle.

I don’t know the specifics about Florida, but nearly all states have laws covering sexual abuse when a person is in a authority position.

You're jumping to conclusions not supported by the evidence.

One of the victims, who is 18

"Is" is a present tense verb. The story explicitly states that Foster "started having sex with the students last year."

We're nine months into 2007, right now. Do the math. ;)

Negative, faulty assumption.

She is 18 now ,, however depending on her month of birth she could have been 17 or even 16 years old at the time, we don’t have enough information.
