Completely idiotic. Why do we view sex as something bad. Sigh, I'd high five the kid though.

As if a 15 year old can't give consent :rolleyes:

In fact, I'd say the same thing if the genders were reversed.

because its sex by a person with authority over children with a child. it has to be punished on some level, i am not sure if 15 years is fair but the judge is right a man would be put away for doing such things



if we are going to prosecute people to the fullest extent of the law for deviant sexual behavior then we should apply such prosecution equally. in my opinion we should be sending people to get mental health treatment when the crime isnt violent (yes even pedos) but our country appears to be years away from realizing that sex isnt as bad as murder. it is ironic that this woman would probably have been sentenced to far less time had she raped him and killed him afterward

the only reason for the stiff punishment is because the judge is one of those stanky ass cunts that couldn't even get laid on ATOT. Or maybe its because of her pointy elbows. Whatever the case, I sense some jealousy.

Okay, so in your estimation what is the age at which a child can give consent? Is a 13 year old kid and a 30 year old teacher sufficiently ick for for your tastes? How about 12? 11? Society has to draw the line somewhere, you can't possibly deny that. Why not just the simple, easily understood line we have now?

If the sentiment expressed in this thread is representative of the general public at large ... this country is in really dire straights. The hypocrisy of treating male and female adults differently when it comes to these types of crimes ... and it being OK with many here on the forums is just shameful. At least the (female) judge got it right:


"If the case involved a male teacher and a 15-year-old girl "there would be people here hanging from the ceiling trying to get every drop of blood," Grant said.

"But because it is a woman, there seems to be a winking about what happened.""

ATOT is hardly a perfect cross-section of society, but I think these idiotic ideas are more common than they are rare.

I agree, but 16 is probably a more realistic age (not that it would have mattered in this specific case).

Age of consent in Michigan is 16. She should have waited one more year or taught an upper class. heh

Edit:
Opps, apparently it's 18 if you are of authority. So she'd still be in trouble either way. DAAAMN

Yes, you have to watch for this one... I think there's a similar clause about doing porn.

Not sure. I'll get back to you when my opinion matters I guess.

Try making it a more intelligent and reasoned opinion. It speeds up the process. If you can't explain what the proper age of consent is you look pretty stupid trying to say a 15 year old can give it.

Lines already exist which are still based on someone's opinion. In 1891, british india increased the age of consent from 10yrs old to 12yrs old. Now many of us find that revolting myself included but is likely due to the culture in which we grew up in but my point was just saying it's always based on someone's opinion and it obviously varies based on culture and era. In the states I believe was a group agreement established into law in 1969 setting it between 16 and 18 for states to decide with it being higher for positions of authority. Based mostly from groups of christian faith and the law obviously was culturally accepted.
Most of these kinds of laws around the world seem to only change when death as a result occurs and advocates ban together for change. It took violent acts for Canada to raise it from 14 to 16. At this rate the next consent law will probably be raised to 18 eventually and as ridiculous as it sounds, 20 will probably be consider the age for being an adult. I mean it's all changed before so I'm sure it will again. 2 wrongs never make a right and despite my mental maturity I was way more than old enough to know that I wasn't supposed to be doing that regardless of how much older or not my partner was.

That said, I gave my consent when I was 14 :thumbsup: if my partner was a 30 yr old woman, I don't think anything would be different cause the point was I was 14 and still willingly had sex. Culturally I was still in the wrong regardless because 14 yr olds are viewed by our society as an age they shouldn't be having sex at. At that age I probably would have had sex with any decent looking girl that was wanting the same thing.

With some of the white/black mentality going on here, most of you pot smokers and underage drinkers should be locked up for life. Too many hypocrites who can't think outside their narrow opinions.

There is certainly a difference between consent and being coerced. The reason for a difference in girls/boys is because girls are taught not to, while boys culturally are 'more manly' if they do. That is only one aspect for the double standard that plays into this.

Could an older women rape a younger boy? Sure, but that isn't what happened here. That is where I have an issue with this. This boy wasn't traumatized for life and he wasn't saying no.

The worst thing that happened here was a teacher (in power) had sex with a student. At worst she should be fired, if not barred from teaching.

If the teacher had been a male and the kid a female, I don't think my opinion would change as long as all were consenting.

From what my step kids tell me and co workers that are in their early 20's back when they were in school. H.S. girls for quite a while now get the same social points and belt notches for having sex that guys do. Apparently the days of being shamed or called sluts is long gone.

How universal that is across america I don't know but as my step daughter puts it. "we keep score nowadays".
