if she's not a threat to society the she shouldn't be in prison at all.
No it shouldn't.
Graham Rix, the ex-Chelsea coach, got 18 months for having sex with a fourteen-year-old girl, after he got her pissed. And that again was a case of some teenage girl seducing him, and then blabbing about to all and sundry when he found out ehr age and ended it.
This girl is not a victim, I catually think a lot of men get treated harshly in these situations. These teenagers ARE just kids mentally, but a physically they aren't and b) they think that they're adult.
And BeckyBoo, I've told you before about not being blinded by the magical sixteenth birthday, where suddenly, as if by magic, a child stops being a child and everything is all right. This girl wasn't a young fifteen by the sounds of it, the fact that she is under 16 when it is within a year of the birthday is irrelevant.
Does it even matter.
The woman BROKE THE FOOKING LAW !!!!!!!!
God i give up on you lot.
Screwed her up? How? She was nearly 16 and got off with an older teacher in her thirties...big deal...a pal of mine shagged a bird nearly hitting 35 when he was 16, was legendary. It's not a big deal.
And why the big exclaimation over breaking the law? The illegality of something has fuck all to do with debating the morals of it. To use that as an argument is pretty lame...
I would expect nearly all 15 year olds do know exactly what they want sexually, i would say the normality is to know at a far younger age than 15...
It wouldn't only have been the penality which was stiffer, I'm pretty sure of that .
Well at least somebody has noticed that little point
The teacher knew the law, she knew that the girl was under 16 - the legal limit and yet she still persued her interest. Didn't wait until the girl had both left the school and/or turned 16.
This wasn't an honest mistake, it was a flagrant breach of the law. Her sentence is short, although he career is ruined and that will be hard to overcome. Try explaining that at your next interview - "Why did you leave your last job...?"
The age of the girl doesn't make a difference whether it is 15 year 364 days, or 13 years, it is still under the age of consent. A clearly defined point in time.
A responsible adult would not being an affair with anyone if they knew their age like this. IMHO.
ah the abuse of power law was in place before though
Now, if it had been a mercy fucking...
p.s. for the record, I'm not against mercy killing, but I don't know all the facts of the above case, so my inclination to disagree with the court's ruling doesn't count for much.
Legally no, though age is taken into account.
But that's why she's in jail, eh?
Morally yes, though. 15 and 364 days is not more morally wrong than 16 and one hour.
