I just can't believe it, i think this gym teacher who just got convicted of 30 counts for blowing this 16 year old guy is going away for a long ass time.

I always thought the guy should be punished. All the gym teacher did was and suck, damnit. |

Teachers/Coaches building romantic or sexual relationships with students, or both combined, is simply criminal. They are employed by districts to follow certain regulations which also happen to apply to the rest of the citizens.
The fact that many still argue about the double standard of male teacher with female student and female teacher with male student baffles me. In both cases it is still illegal.
If you take advantage of your job position to engage in sexual relationships with a minor, male or female, you know what's coming for you eventually. Everyone knows that, and yet every now and then another teacher shows up in the news for this. |

I remember when I came close with my teacher in junior year of high school in New Jersey. I didn't take advantage of the situation because i wasn't schooled with female as I am now lol.

Why wouldn't it be the same? These cases are also about egregious violations of trust and professionalism as much as they are about sexual abuse.
The only real difference is no one wants a male sex offender living next door to them. |

Not to mention that these kinds of cases are intrinsically coercive, because the abuse of power is centered around an authority figure that holds the threat of some commodity over the victim, whether it be a passing grade, immigration status, a traffic ticket, etc.
The sexual dynamics we're all aware of simply ought not factor into these kinds of cases. Of course we can imagine some horny teen boy would be totally into it, so it's difficult for some people to recognize what moral scruples are possibly at issue. But the victim is not on trial here. No, it's not 'jump out of the bushes and assault someone' rape, but the majority of rapes occur between two people who know one another, and often after a deliberate isolation or assertion of authority by the assailant. There's simply no reason to assume this case is any different at this point. |
