I need a full body pic to render an accurate judgement, but she looks a bit on the mannish side.

My guess is that she cleans up nice though.

And a 17 year old banging a 25 or 26 year old should not be a crime, even if the genders were reversed. She should have known better, and I can see her losing her job on ethics violations at most. But criminal charges are ridiculous.

Oh, come on. Fire her, sure. But prison? Good God.

My parents were MARRIED at 17.

Let's toss a murderer out of prison to make space for this threat to society.

Maslow's Hierarchy: Gotta love the magic number of age.

A line has to be drawn SOMEWHERE....where would you propose it be drawn?

Perhaps some sort of a test? You must bring in three written character references attesting to your maturity, and pass a written exam demonstrating basic knowledge of the biological consequences of sex and how to prevent them...

Passing the test gets you a special ID....we could call if the Fark card.

Then when you see a hot chick in a bar, you could just say "Excuse me, do you have a fark card? No? Goodbye."

We could make farking without a card a capital offense.

Courtney Stodden, trailer trash AW is 17 and married to someone 51.
The teacher in TFA is guilty of poor judgment but prison? No. 17 year old boys are walking hardons.

Relatively Obscure: The penalty on each charge is a minimum of 4 to 16 years in prison, with the possibility of life in prison for the repeated nature of the alleged sexual assaults, he said.

:\

Ridiculous. The boy was 17. If he was 7 the jail time would be deserved.

You know what would be cool, Drew? How about a special voting mechanism for female teacher sex offense threads, (1) Yes, I'd hit it outright, (2) Maybe I'd hit it after a few drinks, (3) I go flaccid looking at her picture. No thanks.

Here's an idea:

How about making it a requirement that teachers be at least 15 years older than the students they teach. I think that might cut down on the number of 20something teachers in high schools farking the 16/17-year-old students.

That way, if you want to teach when you get out of college, you have to teach younger kids who aren't going to want to fark you. And when you finally get into high school teaching, you're in your 30s and it's just not as likely that you'll want some 16-year-old unless you have really poor judgment.

Seriously: WHY do we have 25-year-olds teaching 17-year-olds? They're in the same dating range! OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO SCREW. The 25-year-old was just in school herself.

I know, you have to get special certification for each grade level. Well, maybe we should change the system? Maybe it should be based on age and experience instead of choice and educational focus?

Breach of public trust; someone operating in a position of responsibility within the community should not be allowed to use that authority for personal gain.

Age of consent is meaningless, even though that is what it will all hinge upon "legally". The ethical (what the law should be based upon to begin with, instead of arbitrary deliberations) understanding would be to realize that whether or not this woman wants to fark young guys (which she has the right to act upon, as long as they have (under law)physically matured to a specific date since birth) she was in a position which allowed her to have the social ability to target individuals who might not have otherwise consented. That is a crime; having little to do with sexuality and everything to do with exploiting positions of power.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...as a high school teacher, I just don't get it. Nothing makes me less interested in sex than spending my day with a bunch of teenagers.

for a schoolteacher, that's pretty much a nine or a ten.

Another picture of her

In addition to being the girls basketball coach, she was the strength and conditioning coach. She was just helping this young athlete improve his stamina.

awgsilyari: Why is the student not also charged with a crime?

Because he is a minor?

/duh

Fire her and never let her teach kids/teens again since she obviously has self control issues, or at the least poor ethics.

But prison? That makes no sense. She farked someone that was plenty old enough to consent and it's doubtful that it was coerced or forced. 17 is one year before you can legally be thrown out on your own to fend for yourself. It's not a little kid.

If she didn't kill anybody, she doesn't deserve a life sentence.

If she didn't steal millions of dollars, she doesn't deserve 16 years.

She didn't even punch anyone, which would get you probation most of the time.

She took the innocence of a 17-year-old male, which, speaking as someone who has been a 17-year-old male, he didn't have in the first place.

"Breach of public trust" is a punishment deserving termination, maybe a hefty fine.

I have an idea. Let's take all of the hot mid-twenties female sex offender teachers like her and start a school taught exclusively by them...and the students have to be 39-year-olds like me! I'll quit my job and go back to high school, and they can terrorize me from dawn until dusk...

theorellior: BurnShrike: Another picture of her

Yeah, looks like she'd be up for an energetic romp in the sack. And I'd be okay with that. Sometimes enthusiasm can turn a 5 into a 9.

THIS!

This idiot rats her out and she now faces life in prison. If he just throws a stone at her and calls her a whore he could wind up with his own Fox News show, the Christian Love Hour or something.

I agree, even 4 years is way too much. Probation and strip her of her teacher's license.

//female sentencing discount would probably get her that sentence anyway even if the age difference was greater.

I just read the age of consent in Colorado is 15. Either way, jail time is ridiculous for her.

Hey, you know what, if she couldn't wait the extra few days to months for him to become an adult then she deserves whatever happens to her. Everybody knows that the mysterious magic which makes a person immediately and completely responsible for themselves doesn't happen until the stroke of midnight on their eighteenth birthday.

totally would


I expect a lot of studman69s in this thread

He was 17? Yeah, I don't think he was pressured too hard into it.

Her neck is thicker than mine.
