They are messed up no matter how you look at them ella....Ok here's a good one for you... This week a teacher who is 25 is going to jail for having sex with her 18 year student...Now every state in the US..18 is the legal age for sex.. But in Texas if your a teacher and you sleep with a student you go to jail...It does not matter how old the student is..... :rolleyes: But you can sale drug's to a minor and get a slap on the hand.....

Well in here in the uk there are Child sex offenders, murderers and rapists who are let out of jail after as little as 3 years.. I think this is just wrong.. as within days and weeks of release many reoffend, and for the lesser crimes people are receiving much heavier sentances. |

I think that is ridiculous, and here in the uk the legal age is 16 and there is no way a teacher would be punished over here for sleeping with a student over 16 years of age. But I guess the laws differ in other countries |

One thing that sickens me is the "punishment" animal abusers get. Animals are innocent. They don't have a voice and can't speak out when someone is hurting them. But time and time again when abusers are caught their punishment is almost NOTHING. Mind you, some of the biggest animal crimes are legal, so what do I expect. |

In Australia the laws especially for serious crime are way to weak. Maybe Texas looks at it as a teacher has the care of that child / position of power. |

Did it say if the affair started earlier? The point is the teacher should have had enough common sense to wait till the boy left school. How long a sentence did she get? |

They have yet to go to court..she was just arrested this week....But if it's like they other teacher/student's we had here the past few year's.. she's going to get at least 7 year's.... From what i have read the boy was 18 when this started.....I agree she should have waited, But my point is how do you put a person in jail if the legal age for sex is 18 in the USA and the boy is 18.... :unsure: |

In this case if the boy was 18 when the affair started, no she shouldn't be doing time for it. |

So, what you ladies are saying is that if the teacher was a MALE and the student a female, that would be ok as well? The problem here lies not in the age of consent or not. It is that an authority figure (the teacher) is abusing the teacher- student relationship. The same as if an employer and an employee were having a relationship. How much of the relationship is based on the lesser statused individuals fear for their position if they refuse? Would a woman, pressured to have an affair with her boss lose her job if she refused? Would the student get a failing grade if he or she rebuffed the teachers affections? These are the considerations that the Law takes into account: you have youths (male and female) under the control of adults. If the adult abuses that authority in any way, who is to protect the children? And, if a teacher gets involved with an 18 year old, who is to say that the teacher won't get involved with a younger student next time? |
