Ehh...that's hot? That picture (seriously) looks like a transvestite! *LOL*

I'm not disagreeing that I think the story is bizarre...particularly the bit about the mother moving into the teachers condo, and her then denying any knowledge of what was happening....but puh-lease guys...that's a picture of a guy with a wig! *LOL*

[PJ-Comix]

I have to say that the reason I think this kid is lying...

I think you might be right. Most likely a case of WISHFUL THINKING. When will this case appear on Court TV?

[Huck]

She's a man, baby!

[hope]

Looks like she needs a priest and a 10 gallon tub of holy water.

[Mulder]

There is certainly nothing wrong about fantasizing about a 43-year old woman.

[balrog666]

She should be ashamed of herself ...

True, but it's not his fault she's crazy. On the other hand, he was the one that screwed up that sweet deal - what a dumbass.

[Happygal]

Yup! It's a guy! *LOL*

I find it odd that so many believe it's A-OK for a teenage boy to have "consensual" sex with an adult women - but if he had "consensual" sex with an adult male, the adult male should get the death penalty.

If a teenager can make an "informed" decision about one, why not the other?

[Johnny Shear]

OK...I'll throw myself out for public observation...

I wouldn't want my kid to do it (If I had one), but I would have done it.

Just for fun...What's wrong with me? Gotta be something.

[SolitaryMan]

I didn't say she was hot, but I'm sure she's really a very nice person and had the young man's best interest in hand...er at heart.

You seem to be as sick a pervert as she was, this was a minor. I don't care what Hollywood and Fast Times At Ridgemont High tells you is the ideal, the lifestyle to aspire to, it is still wrong, and harmful to our society. A drug-addicted roofer now, eh? Yeah she really helped him out in life. Who cares if she was attractive(though the picture falls far short of your description) to you, Bill Clinton's words and manners were seductive to lots of women, and look at the damage that did.

Believe it or not, many guys have the intelligence and scrupples to not get involved in such junk. Its a dead-end street, just like wasting your money on porn, booze, strip clubs, etc., where does that get you in life, other than blowing your time? But hey, you can make your own morality judgements, I'll quit preaching.

Rembember though, pedeophilia is a crime, carnivore has many different uses.

[PJ-Comix]

A lot of strippers look pretty bad yet they make lots of money on stage. And if you guys had been students, I KNOW most of you wouldn't have turned her down. (It's OK to post a lie in response if your wife if watching your 'puter screen.)

[MJY1288]

me-thinks she looks like the north end oof a south bound Mule :-)

[balrog666]

If a teenager can make an "informed" decision about one, why not the other?

We don't care that it was "informed" and nobody has suggested that it was peverse!

[pocat]

Most women just don't understand the young male's mind. They can't grasp the concept that during puberty, EVERY guy wants to bang at least ONE teacher. All they can relate to is what they thought/felt at that age, therefore they think we're "sick" for thinking this guy is a total idiot. By calling us perverts, they are only displaying a total lack of ignorance of the male species.

NEWSFLASH: Males and females are DIFFERENT! They think differently, they act differently, they have different fantasies! I'm not saying it's right, but we're GUYS! That's how we are! Get used to it!

[SamAdams76]

THERE is certainly a gender gap on this issue, huh? The women on this thread are appalled while the men are pissed that the boy ruined a perfectly good situation by ratting the teacher out.

Personally I don't think it is possible for a boy of 14 or 15 to be sexually abused by a woman. Obviously the boy wanted and encouraged it. Where were these teachers when I was 14? Actually I'm glad they weren't around because I probably wouldn't have been mature enough to resist the temptation.

Of course if it was a girl student and a male teacher, it would be different. In that situation, the male teacher would rightfully be charged with rape of a minor. But a woman being charged with sexual assault in this situation? Ridiculous. Of course, she should be fired and humiliated. But she shouldn't go to jail.

[balrog666]

this was a minor.

So? What's the age of consent in this state?

I find it odd that so many believe it's A-OK for a teenage boy to have "consensual" sex with an adult women - but if he had "consensual" sex with an adult male, the adult male should get the death penalty.

Sorry but there IS a difference.
