That was what I thought of when I clicked on this post. It's pretty easy to remember when you just moved into that school district. (cry2)

I'm confused. The boys are of age and legally could make their own decision. So why should they be charged with having sex with their teacher? It's a consenting relationship.

Are you talking about what Lol said? I think they were trolling. hmm

Is it because there is an imbalance of power?

It's tricky because they are consenting adults, but with a student/ teacher relationship there is a balance of power that can be abused.

This. They aren't victims, they weren't raped or subjected to child abuse, however the teacher was still in the wrong for having sex with her students, even if they are adults.

They aren't victims but the teacher should still be punished.

If they're eighteen, I don't think the teacher should be arrested though. She should get fired, of course, and maybe not allowed to teach, but not arrested.

Yeah, when I said punished I meant fired.

When you said punished, I thought you meant S&M.

Yeah this exact same thing happened at my school and the teacher was fired, has to register as a child offender (and therefore can't teach again) and get 6 months of probation but no jail time

Nobody is the victim. Nobody should be punished.

don't you mean 18 year olds in general shouldn't be punished (not just guys)?

this was about a specific story

They're 18, it's consensual. I don't see why it's such a big deal to be honest.
