      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.
