Another teacher having student sex!

[notjustjay]

I suspect in cases like this it's not so much the age (although that IS important!!) as the fact that one is in a position of authority over another. Even if it was totally consensual and even if technically speaking the ages were legal, there is still the problem of the teacher-student relationship.

Definitely Not Cool.

Thanks, I posted before reading all the posts. Doesn't look as good as that blonde bombshell months ago.

Search for yourself.

She's everywhere in the British papers... considering the marriage announcement between Prince and his longtime lover, Camilla Parker Bowles.

Definitely no Princess Diana.

How is it they aren't getting 50yrs to life for this?

Yeah, sure, 50 yrs to life for makin´love.

And medals of honour and promotions for those who kill innocent people in iraq and torturers at Guantanamo Camp?

Now, THATs sick, seriously!

In the US pedophilia IS illegal. Men usually get bigger sentences than women for some reason. A School Teacher having sex with her student while married: Adultry with minors while your 2 yr old watches is not usually called "makin' love" in the states, how about in austria?

Am not aware of Medal of Honor winners for the reasons you state, but as this will end up in the political forum soon, please provide the links!

I remember when it was the males that had all of t hese issues - makes the world think all we teach here is sex ed - and hands on at that - maybe this ties into B. Gates comment about high schools

good point, also a good thread moved to poli forum about private schools. Education in the US is severly lacking! We need a "man to the moon" effort on a national scale and soon.

Why aren't I in school anymore?

Ok, ok - i just didn´t intend to start some political thread.

I intended to point out that demanding "getting 50yrs to life for this" is really hard, compared to REALLY awful things happening in our world.

I know, pedophilia IS illegal, not only in the US, and for a good reason.
But, is a 16 year old guy a CHILD?

I wonder, why do people start a tread in this subject on a computer - related site? Is having sex such a tremendous crime? I think, we should worry about really serious things happening in our world...

And it should be illegal everywhere, but this is NOT a case of pedophillia.

In case people forget what it is: According to the DSM-IV definition, pedophilia involves sexual activity by an adult with a prepubescent child.

This child was well past the prepubescent stage.

There is another medical definition for this, don't know the term.

However the usual legal ones typically things like statutory rape and/or sex with someone under the age of consent.

Your right, I was overboard there, just seems like pedo stuff to me, but not really I guess. I think statutory rape is more accurate probably, either way this is way wrong.

Just to remind everyone, in the US you do NOT have to be 18 to have sex. This is only in California. In michigan (age of consent 16) what happened between the teacher and student would of been legal.

Whoah. What's up with New Mexico? 18 for heterosexual sex but 13 for homosexual sex?????

Bizarre.

Even if it was totally consensual and even if technically speaking the ages were legal, there is still the problem of the teacher-student relationship.

This, I think, is the real point, not whether it's pedophilia or not. The teacher--even if the boy involved had been over 18 and the relationship completely legal and consentual, it's still a situation in which a person entrusted with an entirely different sort of responsibility and a position of power has abused that trust.

That's also why statutory rape laws exist, and are different from pedophilia laws. Pedophilia--sex with people that are still physically children--is sick by just about any definition of the word. Statutory rape laws are intended to protect people whol are legally still considered pre-adult from people in a position of power and potential emotional dominance over them. It's not that a 30 year old and a 16 year old couldn't have a perfectly healthy relationship, but there are plenty of 16 year olds not yet ready to commit to that sort of thing--particularly with someone who is--and many more who would be suceptable to an absuive relationship by the older partner. As such, one reasonable option is just to make it illegal for everybody and assume the reasonable folks will just wait.

Side note: I have experience with this sort of thing as I was interested in my much-older wife of 4 years when I was under 18, but I had the good sense not to push it until I was a legal adult and not putting her at risk of anything--if you really care, you can wait. Likewise, my brother is married to a former student of his, but the relationship developed well after she had graduated and was in college and he never would have considered prusuing it, even if she were old enough, until after he was comfortably away from his position of authority over her. That's the correct way to go about it if you develop some sort of interest in someone you "shouldn't" be having a relationship with--wait, give it some distance, then maybe do something once it's more socially acceptable.

And I still wonder what sort of sicko has sex with their 2 year old in the back seat of the car.

I didn't realise that 16 year-olds are considered minors in California. What's the age of consent?

I don't think this would be a legal matter over this side of the pond, although it would no doubt be a 'moral' issue. I think the baby in the back seat is more of an issue than these guys having sex.

18 is the legal age of consent in California, but not the entire U.S.
In some states, like Georgia, Ky, Iowa, the legal age is 16.
In Canada it is 14. And in Mexico it is 12... 12!! Now that's SICK!!

In California it is 18, but it varies from state to state. In some states it is 16 or 17.

There is also the issue of having sex with a student when you are a teacher that has power over him or her. This young women is in for major problems and deservedly so.

edit: sorry, should have read the last two posts in the thread.

So far in 44 posts, we have:

* 3 guys wishing they were sexually molested by their female teachers when they were in high school.
* a lot of discussion about age of consent laws.
* one person calling sexual predation "makin love."
* a lot of focus on the teacher's looks.
* some moral outrage at both the presence of the woman's two-year-old child in the car and the fact that she's married.

Anyway, these links may not have all the credibility in the world because they're blogs, but this one says the boy was a special ed student and this one says she had a Debbie video and partially injested edible panties, among other things, with her when she was arrested.

LOL, nice sum up.

It's all about the societal roles of the persons involved, This woman, a teacher, is supposed to provide her students with a role model, and is expected by the community to be a good moral compass. While having sex (even accounting for the age difference) is not inherently wrong, doing it with her student constitutes a misuse and perversion of the job entrusted to her by society. At any rate it is a conflict of interests. This pops up in universities fairly often, but in those cases the participants are emotionally mature.

whoa!

that woman who blew that guy then kept a mouthful to get pregnant on has now gone and left her child in the car while partaking in extracurricular activities with students!

You've conflated the two stories. The woman who conceived with the gifted semen is a doctor. The child in that case is more than 5 years old. The woman who is the subject of this thread is a teacher. The child in this case is 2 years old.
