teacher avoids prison

Absolutely. My mother would have had a different reaction, as would the Board of Ed, but I'd have considered it a coup.SamSpade said:
The point is that young people always think inappropriate stuff is cool. It's up to the adults to set them straight. And if they can't manage that, they should at least not participate. My teacher did the right thing - this woman did not.

So you disagree with the decision to make her register?
I think there are situations that are a bit iffy. I personally don't want the registry cluttered up with 18-year-old boys who bang 15-year-old girls, or along those lines, because over zealous parent(s) decided to seek some solitude in revenge, because they allowed their 15-year old slutty kid to run the road at all hours of the night and are shocked to find out they are having
sex. 
In this situation, I think she should be registered. She was in a position of trust and respect as a teacher and preying on a student is a betrayal of presumed trust, regardless of the perpetrators sex. We would expect the same outcome if she was a he.

I just think this is one of those "fine line" situations.

It's Biology
Bottom line is that she broke the law and she got caught. Let's not make her into some sort of monster just because it soothes our sensibilities and makes us feel righteous.
Are 14 year olds going to be attracted to older people? Of course they are, it's biology. 14 year-old girls are notorious for chasing after the 17, 18, 19 y.o guys. I know because I lived through that nightmare. They wanted nothing to do with my 14 y.o. butt. As Vrai said, she was 15 and wanted to do her self-defense coach. To her "young innocent" eyes, he was verile, vigorous and potent. (Innocent my azz...) Biology.
Boys at 14 want to get laid, and if the first offerer happens to be his 25 y.o. teacher, guess what? He's going to do it. But they got caught, she broke the law, she pays the price. If anything, it was a poor decision on her part, but a risk she obviously accepted at the time. It does not mean that she has psychologic problems. Come on people!
I have a 14 y.o. son; I know what goes through his head. I have been around plenty of his equally devious friends. And 14 y.o. girls are even worse when it comes to gabbing about this hot guy or that hot guy. It's biology.
Age of consent in MD is 16. In Iowa and Missouri, it's 14 for boys and 16 for girls!! How is that for double standards! Maybe miss teacher just chose the wrong state! Had it happened in either of those states, it never would have been news!!! Think about that one.
Who is to say that she wasn't getting it from somewhere else, also? She probably was.SamSpade said:

I disagree. You said yourself that 14 year old girls don't want some 14 year old boy - why in the hell would a 25 year old want them?Steve said:
The boy can't be blamed, in my opinion - it's perfectly natural for a teen boy to want to get laid, especially by a hottie in a position of authority over him. Shoot, adult men want that!
But she is a sicko. I've never seen a 14 year old boy in my whole entire life that I would be even remotely interested in sexually. To look at some doofball kid and see a sexual partner smacks of mental issues - obviously she's insecure and wants to be the dominant one in a relationship. What better way to ensure that than to choose a child subordinate?

How should I know? :shrug: And we won't know since his side of the story is sealed. Maybe he was the aggressor and she finally caved in, even though she knew it was wrong. (Devil's advocate, here). Maybe he looks a lot older than his age? Maybe, maybe, maybe...we could toss out conjectures all day.vraiblonde said:I disagree.

My only point is that calling her a sicko, a mental case, whatever is really just a visceral reaction to something that we ourselves find reprehensible. You say no 14 y.o. ever interested you, and most women are probably in agreement. I find 14 y.o. girls to be completely annoying even on a good day! But I have also seen some that look every bit 18 or older.
So without knowing what the real dynamic between them was, we can only be disgusted by the age difference. Again, if this were Iowa or Missouri, we'd still balk at what she found attractive in him, but she would not have been labelled a sicko or mental since no case would have been brought.

that IS the age of consent but there are a lot of factors involved.. like if they were 14 and they were having sex with a 16 year old that's ok.. 14 having sex with a 18 year old or 21 year old (depending on state law) is still statutory rape..
Same thing applies in MD, but I don't know the specifics.. I think it's 16 and 21..

She was a teacher, he was a student... a 14 year old student. She broke the trust, and broke the law both written and unwritten. HOW she escaped prison time is beyond me, but I'd love to see all the male teachers in prison apeal their court decisions now, see how the public reacts if they get set free.
Pamela Smart did the same thing, but not only did she manipulate him for sex, she manipulated him to commit murder for her, by having hiim kill her husband.

I believe that if the age difference is more than 7 years it can be statutory rape in MD up until 17. but under 7 years its all good........ but i could be wrong, i never really NEEDED to know this info!itsbob said:

No, I don't think that's the case but I'd have to look for the answer. Ken?itsbob said:
Age of consent means that a person cannot be charged with statutory rape if both participants are over the age limit. Some states have two-tiered age levels, where sex is okay at a younger age, but can be challenged if one participant is below the second, older age. MD is straight 16. I found it here earlier...haven't gone into it beyond the numbers, so I apologize if I'm off base here.
