The problem is that the boys may be “of legal age,” but the teacher violated a position of trust. I had a friend who had been placed in foster care (because his mother had died and his father was a paranoid schizophrenic who tried to drown him in the toilet bowl) who was very handsome and reached his full adult height and maturity fairly early.
He was “seduced” by a foster mother when he was about 14, and then at the next place he was sent after the caseworker found out about it (but of course, did not report it), another foster mother did exactly the same.
He was a wonderful guy but totally gay when I knew him as an adult. He told me he couldn’t stand women because of that first contact where somebody he had trusted had taken advantage of his situation.
These boys are not having girlfriends and normal lives. They’re having to perform like sex toys for some depraved older, messed-up woman who can’t find any adult men.
I *strongly* dispute those last six words...
