The Judge doubtless investigated the possibility of any complications, such as you suggest, and concluded that the punishment was adequate from what she learned in the investigation. The circumstances in which a teenaged boy has his first sexual encounter are really not worth the time I have already spent trying to put a little perspective on this. My only purpose for even posting in this thread, which is not in my opinion a major news item, was to support the traditional view that separate standards do indeed pertain to male and female sexuality, and for very good reasons. Historically, very few ever suggested that male innocence was as important as female innocence; and very few ever tried to protect the former as avidly as the latter. We do not prepare our sons to be mothers.
I was not suggesting that school teachers should be having affairs with the students; only suggesting that this probable slut who wouldn't have even been hired in the days when the double standard was widely understood, is just a promiscuous woman in an loosely moralled age, and not public enemy number one.

I must have missed that part of the article. It sounds like your morals aren't too different from hers.
