Save your outrage for the 45 year old “teachers” preying on 14 year old boys in our schools.
I am not excusing Clems actions, but I guarantee this was mutual.
High school girls have always dated college guys.
If it was consensual, she sure doesn’t act like it. She’s pretty outraged. And you see no problem with a man even coercing a 14 y/o girl into having sex? Really?
Even if she came on to him, at 14, she was not legally able to give consent. He was the adult and should have thwarted any advances, even up to notifying family members that she was coming on to him.
And the law is very clear a 14 year old cannot give consent.
Of course people are outraged at teachers abusing children. That is such a straw man and so not on point. your sense of outrage seems to be very very selective. Plus your ‘knowledge’ of high school girls is stereotypical and mostly untrue
I guarentee you're pretty much a jerk.....
I expect there is more to this than we will ever know.
Anyone notice how the article stated ages?
Nowhere does it point out his age (19) at the time of the first episode when she was 14. It says, he *is* 25 and she *was* 14. The average numbnuts reader can’t do the math and sees 25 yo rapes 14 yo. This wording is not accidental, nor is it insignificant.
By deliberately making the age difference appear greater, the paper is doing a disservice to the truth (whatever it is in this case).
I’m not minimizing the potential offense here, but this piece is a sketchy and poorly written tabloid story. It refers to him in bold type as “the pervert”. With what little we know here, “pervert” is pushing it.
Note that a big deal is made about the safety of his 3 female children. Curiously, none of their ages are mentioned. Now there is a real leap. Idiot 19 yo male boinks 14 yo girl (whom we know nothing about at that time) and this magically translates into a 25 yo man wanting to sexually assault his own daughters who are probably under the age of 5?
