    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.

            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 bitch raped a child”, instead of being pedantic.

                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.

            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.

          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.
