She looks 16
Since when is telling a coworker a crime /s
How are so many people incapable of doing the literally most obvious and easy task of “do not fuck children” JFC.
That’s an interesting way of saying statutory rape.
its kinda gross how far the media will go to not use the word rape… especially in this context
Trump’s a rapist but the media is afraid to say so. Suspected pedo, too.

They’re not lawyers, though… they’re reporters.
They’re just reporting what the prosecutors accused the person of and if the prosecutor didn’t use the term “statutory rape” then the reporters probably shouldn’t either.
They don’t want to get the reporting wrong if they aren’t experts on the subject and even more so the don’t want to expose themselves to lawsuits if they do get the reporting wrong.
I really don’t think the reporters are trying to minimize the heinousness of the crime (at least not in this case). It looks more like they are just being conservative in what they state.
also; reporters dont write headlines
That’s true but the same issue applies to both the article (which doesn’t use the term “statutory rape”), and the editor (who likely doesn’t have any legal expertise).
I’m not very surprised that a teacher raped a student. I AM surprised (and glad) that she was dumb enough to talk about it TO ANOTHER TEACHER.
Happy cake day
Always the same wording when the rapist is a woman…
Nicccceeeeee
Might be a power thing, but what adult woman wants an inexperienced 16 year old?
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6785975/
“Among participants aged 14 to 24 years, the percentage having had sex increased with age, from 12.5% among females and 13.1% among males at age 14 years to more than 75% at age 19 years for both sexes.”
I’m not sure how that link is relevant to the question?
He assumed the kid was inexperienced but the average age of sexual initiation in US is 17. Lot’s of boys are experienced at 16.
I think that part of this narrative gets fucked because there is a fairly large segment of reporters that fantasized about getting with their cute youngish teacher back when they were in school.
This is not to say that this is ok. It isn’t. This is SA, CSA, really. And even if the teacher were teaching/seducing 18 year olds on a college campus it would still be a gross misuse of power.
A pedophile.
Like literally, by definition.
10 year age gap there, 26 yo woman vs 16 yo dude.
Flip the sexes around, that’s a pedophile, no argument at all.
Other than from people who really, really really feel its necesarry to ‘well actually you mean ephebophile’.
Grooming is kinda the whole modus operandi here, they get off on the power dynamic, in every way you can interperet ‘get off’ and ‘power dynamic’.
Considering he is above the age of consent it is obviously NOT pedophilia.
If she had been a neighbor it would be legal. The reason it isn’t is because she is a figure of authority. Which technically from a legal perspective makes it rape.
In 14 US states it is actually legal!!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent
Are you really saying 14 states have legalized pedophilia?
Do you even remember how it is to be 16?My sister has been happily married to her husband who is 15 years older than her for 30+ years, are you saying my brother in law is a pedophile because of the age difference?
You are judgemental and pushing your norms on other people. And it’s disgusting you have so many upvotes!
I had decided to resign from this debate, but some of the comments here, like yours are just so far beyond what lawmakers have decided in by far the most countries it’s insane. Are you also considering LGBT immoral?
It’s wrong yes, but the term pedo should be reserved for when it’s justified, which it isn’t here.
Enthusiasm can often beat experience.
still rape from a pedo, that things really mess with people’s brain.
hope he gets the help he needs
Insecurity. “Yep I’ve still got it!”
I was the 16 year old once, it’s a lot of things, but mostly I think it was the power trip for her.
ask that to any pedo
Easier to train.
😱 How does this still happen in this day and age?
Because pedophilia still exists.
And a 16 year old boy will say yes to pretty much anything sexual, hence why this woman
exploited a minornah, not sugar coating. This woman used a position of authority to rape a child.Also. The teacher profession is all but dead in America. A lot of people that would be bad for students get weeded out through years of education and training. Most school districts are luck if they have more than 50% of their teachers educated/trained. The rest are individuals who could pass a background check. Poor areas, are under 30%. Just because someone can pass a background check doesn’t mean they should be around minors. But schools have no other option.
Heh, I applied for a substitute position a little while ago.
Called back. I’m a MMJ patient, and only have a high school diploma, and no teaching skills or experience.
They were fine with that. Obviously, don’t bring drugs on campus, but if its just residual in my system its fine with them.
My degree is in physical education K-12. When I graduate I didn’t go right into education. When I told one of my professors she cried full on tears. That’s how bad it is.
I returned to education ~3 years. It’s scary. And I’m in a “wealthy” state. Our school’s are hanging on by a thread even with record low enrollments due to people not having children. (the only schools that were thriving were the ones with massive migrant populations.)
I spent a year working at an elementary school, in an IT capacity.
I was at a fairly wealthy district, but Texas “Robin Hood Laws” distributed a lot of their taxable wealth to poorer districts and such.
That being said, all the kids that went there for the most part had rich parents.
So the stay at home moms always organized fund raisers. Bake sales, that kinda crap.
And the rich kids, or any parents who stopped in, bought treats.
I mean, it worked… but not without a lot of disposable income at home.
For people that are downvoting, this entire bit in South Park was to make fun of the double standard whenever a man commits statutory rape vs when a woman does it
But also it’s @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world
More downvotes than most in their content
That being said, they usually say the funny thing. I guess they should make a /c of their comments named something like “what the devil inside thinks”.
Blows my mind every time it’s some young, attractive woman.
It’s what gets the clicks. A good portion of the population probably have headmistress fantasies and, while tutting this vile behavior, are like ‘Damn, where was she when I was 15?’
She’ll probably just use the Mel Gibson defense.
Idk man…if she’s truly an alcoholic…she may be the victim here.

Because it’s the fact that she’s the teacher. A position of authority. It’s why a cop cannot have sex with someone who they pulled over, or why a psychiatrist cannot date their client.

Abusing a position of trust is a bigger deal than it seems. Being in a position of power means there was an unspoken element of coercion in the relationship.

Why the fuck do you know any of this?

Your European school’s curriculum went over every single US state’s age of consent?
Considering I linked the info from wikipedia, this must be the stupidest comment in this thread.
Age of a consent is a common thing in all countries, but the age is different.Removed by mod
In this case, age of consent is mostly irrelevant. A 26 year old fucking a 16 year old is bad, legality is unimportant. The fact that she’s been charged, means that it’s probably not legal. How about we just say “wow, that removed raped a child”, instead of being pedantic.
deleted by creator
Legality doesn’t matter to me. This is morally wrong. The age difference is wrong. The abuse of trust and authority is wrong. And linking a wikipedia page to where this would and wouldn’t be legally okay, is a little weird. A 30 year old woman fucking her 50 year old boss is wrong in a similar way, but not necessarily illegal.
Tons of reasons to research this. For example: can I get person x arrested for what they did to me/my sibling
This ain’t his first Internet argument, maybe? That’s why I know it, anyway.
Knock it off with your bad-faith insinuations.
It’s weird to immediately be jumping to the defense of the teacher. This should not be hard to understand. A 26 year old woman raped a 16 year old. It’s very simple. That’s wrong, and in my humble opinion, worthy of punishment.
Hot teacher, now stop asking.
Illegal for Teachers with students regardless

Which 14?? Wtf

At least you got to say that pedofilia and rape are “unprofessional”.
I hope you’re never near minors unsupervised.
Next, are you going to give us a lengthy explanation of the difference between “pedophile” and “ephebophile”?
Um… “Abused a position of trust” ≠ rape? You might wanna check the definition, friend. 😅😶
deleted by creator
All due respect, but you seem to be confusing your awareness of the definition with the actual thing. Please do confirm for yourself what the details of this term are. 🙇🏼♂️✊🏼
