Actually yes when I was 18 I didn't go around bragging to my friends about who I was having sex with. I know it is an archaic concept in 2014 but it was not considered the classy or gentlemanly thing to do.

Oh jesus....

That means you either didn't have friends, or weren't having sex, or weren't having socially accepted sex.

The 18 year old male psyche is the 18 year old male psyche. "Classy"? Haha.

Then you weren't "most 18 year olds," and certainly not "most 18 year old football players who banged the hot teacher."

Where does this position of power nonsense come from?

Is it against the law for a police officer, military, government official to have sex with a regular citizen?

WTF?

do you really need it spelled out to you? seriously?

I do find this pic pretty hilarious from her appearance at the courthouse:

I'd like to imagine they're thinking something like "WTF is she doing here" combined with "Dat ass"

It is here. It is for pretty much any school employee, the theory is they have influence over that student and can influence them into having sex even if they are at the age of consent. I will never get why these people are sleeping with there students, it shouldn't be hard to find another 18 year old to sleep with and not go to jail.

Just about any woman can "influence" an 18 year old boy.

Position of power. The dismissal should happen.

That's horseshit. If, in the eyes of the law, you're emancipated at 18, then no one should be 'in a position of power.'


An issue with the particular job. I don't think it should be a legal issue--but it should be policy of the employer--i.e., the school. I suppose if it's a public school, that probably does bring up some actual legal issues.

These cases really are a breach of ethics which are set by the employer, and which I fully agree with.

I'm with you on the logic, if someone has a position of power it's a major ethics violation. I wonder when something like this will encroach on personal rights and get challenged since it's the gov't. firing you not a corp/company/individual.

Odd. The girls I knew in high school didn't like everyone talking about who they hooked up with. Certain dudes got labeled as talkers and their well dried up pretty quick. Basically, people wanted to be slutty, but not be *labeled* slutty. I thought that was the norm?
