What a stupid woman. She ruined her life and profession for an adolescent. I’m just glad she won’t be in a classroom teaching anymore. Like most people, I doubt that the boy will be scarred for life and feel ‘violated’.
You would not be correct about boys doing well with sexual involvement with adults. Most people don’t think it is alright for adults to hit on boys for sex (homo or hetero).
The teacher had problems controling her sexual compulsions; she was not sacrificing her life for a relationship with a kid. It is rare that the pervert wants a love relationship with the child; they want sex with the child. They have the advantage of being an authority figure and being much more cagey than the target. Being dominant all adds to their thrill.
