Yes because you suddenly don't revert from being an adult to being a child because of the other person's occupation. Think about your mind when you were 18 I bet you had the capacity to reason out what you did and did not consent to. I had it at 17 in college, when my proffesser was hitting on me in class everyday......out loud in front of everyone. So yes.
You think an 18 year old working full time and paying taxes and rent and an 18 year old high school student student living in mom's basement will have the same perspective on life and what goes on in the real world? If this was about consent it would not be an issue and she wont be going to jail. Its because this was a teacher who should have known better but compromised her position and slept with her students and that is what is getting her locked up. If teachers in high school are aware that fucking your students will get you locked up they might think twice before doing that. Good to know you are cool with teachers fucking their students as long as they are of legal consent, i am not cool with it.
Getting fired or fined would be a slap on the wrist. If she shares a cell room with a Polish chain smoking lesbian she will think twice before doing what she did again.
5 years, fucken hell, that's too much. Free that fucken woman!!! She is gonna be in the can for 5 years when murderers like Zimmerman and et al... walk around scott free. Our court system is BS. Who the fuck preside on these cases, Judge Roy Bean?? smdh.
Are you kidding? What did she actually do? She was one person having sex with 5 dudes. She wasn't over powering anyone or coercing them through grades or some other type of manipulation. It wasn't criminal. Was she in breech of her ethical obligation? Yes. So fire her, fine her, and call it day. Jail is excessive and I'd bet dollars to donuts that her sleeping with young black men is why this bullshit went to trial in the first place. It is Texas after all.
They were adults so I really can't say anything about it. But I have a problem with those that say they would have NO problem with a female teacher cavorting with their young sons. Even in this case its still a violation.
I understand what you're getting at, but the way you're going about doing this, you're administering a Draconian perspective on the whole debacle. You're correct that she did dishonor her position as teacher, as well as a wife and mother. However, I would still argue that the punishment doesn't fit the crime whatsoever. For one thing, the students are 18 years of age, and even if they are not of age (minimum 16), they still hold some grounds regarding experiencing life and are capable of differentiating between right from wrong. They were fully aware of what they were taking advantage of, and so did the teacher. If there is anything that is a crime, it's her breaking her vow of being in a committed marriage, but that's a personal thing. If anything, sentencing her to five years and fining her is far too excessive beyond reproach. If anything, barring her from teaching would probably be the best course of action and her personal guilt of getting caught would be best served in the end.
I have to agree with you both. Even though the guys were 18, they were still in HS, right? And she was their teacher? Maybe throwing her in jail for 5 years is excessive (she should do some time, as they were 18 and not like 13), but no matter the age, she's still an authority figure over them. And she abused that authority whether it looks that way or not. Teachers cannot screw their students, no matter the student's age. If she wanted a gang bang, she should have waited until after they graduated.
Yes. She should do some time. Maybe not 5 years, but she should do some time. The victims were the 18 year old guys she had sex with. She was their teacher. She actively pursued them. No matter the age, HS teachers cannot have sex with their students. They can't. She's a sexual predator whether you want to believe it or not. Like I said, she should have waited until they graduated before engaging in that behavior with them. Think about it: if she really wanted to have a gang bang, she could have met adult men for that. These kids were technically adults, but they were still in high school. That's way different than her going to a bar and meeting 4 guys to have a gang bang with. She used her authority to get to them. And that's why she's (rightfully) on trial. The laws are in place to protect students from being manipulated by teachers and other authority figures that they see 5 days a week for 9-10 months a year.
there were five guys how can you victimize a group of young guys at the same time? Is it really far fetched that they really wanted to do it. They're the ones who videotaped it. Damn your harsh kid
It doesn't matter. Teachers can't be trolling their classrooms for sexual partners. She's an adult. She should have met guys on an online site or at a bar to have sex with.
LoL, y'al got issues. Her mug shot ain't all that but one of her court pic is a little presentable, lolz.
