The 28-year-old social studies teacher and boys freshman boys' basketball coach allegedly had a relationship with a 17-year-old female student, Amy Jacobson reported Thursday. (Тут имеются в виду не два человека, а один и тот же: физрук, он же преподаватель основ советского государства и права).

The junior girl told one of her friends, and word of the relationship got around.

Since January there have been five sexual encounters.

"It's a trauma to a young victim. She's a 17-year-old. This was a person of authority. So, it's going to take a lot of time and a lot of counseling to get over this," Krecker said.

А я думал, 17-year-old - это взрослая женщина.

Всего-то навсего? До года за минет?


Well, she was below the consent age, which in GA is 16, according to the article. Are you arguing for bringing it lower - 15, 14, 13, 12 ?

Неужели вы не видите противоречия, которое я указал выше, что за изнасилование мальчика судить будут, а согласия он ещё не может дать, маленький?

Well, the laws are often imbalanced - the boy thak kills adult will be punished much more lightly than adult that kills a boy. What you are arguing is different age limits for boys and girls. Sure, makes sense.

BTW, some states have close in age exception, so I am not convinced that abstinence is a driver for these laws. But I don't claim knowledge.

Yes. 14 makes much more sense. At least when the partner is under 18.

This is not what I am talking about. I am talking about a very specific assertion: he understands what he is doing when he is having sex.
Does he or doesn't he - at the same age?

That too.
