US West Orange High School teacher Erica DePalo, 33, of Montclair, was charged Friday with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

Yeah, makes you wonder who issued the award, the School Board or the football team.

Normally a 15 year old boy who scored with a teacher would be running around giving high-fives to his buddies.

However, in this case I think the boy shudders at the thought of what he’s seen (naked and fugly) and will have nightmares the rest of his life.

In addition to that, all of his buddies must be laughing at him.

Perhaps she was looking at the actual person and not his birth certificate. Lots of 15yo boys do not look like children.

Yes, we definitely need to get the govt involved in this.

I should let my teenage daughter who listens to those teen romance songs from Taylor Swift read this thread, or one like it. “This is what they think of you - just a f*ck - and don’t you ever forget it.”

She may be innocent but I have swerved around better looking road kill on a dark night when no one was looking.

OK. That's a good one! I just may plagiarize that some day.

She knew he was a student. She can’t be that dumb. It doesn’t matter what they look like.

I bet she won “Teacher of the Year” on the votes of teen age boys.

Why would an adult ever, EVER, even think of a child in a sexual manner?

Have you seen how young girls 16-17 years old dress today?? I was at a pig roast earlier in the summer-mostly older people. Three 16-17 year old daughters came in wearing bikinis with bodies like the one below. Every male no matter the age was looking... even 50-60 year old guys. One guy (late 50's) made the comment.. "I'm not dead yet or gay"

No, I am not saying it is right and men and women who didly with these kids should be thrown in prison. The difference is most males will not go past that (looking) but to say they were not looking at them sexually... well they were. Hormones will do that...but vast majority of men know the fine line...at least they should.

It was not to many years ago it was the norm to get married to 16 and 17 year old women. My great grandmother was married at age 16

It doesn’t matter how they dress. I am referring to the supposed ADULTS.

I believe that attitude exists the same, in both sexes.

Adult men are going to look at a 16-17 year old bikini girl like in the picture I posted and think lusty thoughts...if they say they don't they are lying, gay or asexual.

The thing is most will go no further than that...and if they do they should be jailed. I am not condoning child sex..it is 100% wrong but you cannot shut off your hormones but you can control your actions beyond looking.

Adults of both sexes throughout the world and throughout history and geography, and social status, have always had, and will contune to have different views on this. I think it’s just one of God’s gifts to us as humans, to seperate us from the beasts that only act on instinct.

I have seen women hookup with guys in college for nothing more than sex and the next day have nothing to do with them (and the guy wants it to go beyond sex i.e. a relationship) and the guy is crushed. Way more common than you know.

worthy of a congressional investigation, in my opinion.
