22 Year Old Teacher rapes 14 Year Old student (No Jail Time)

Ridiculous. I had a guy friend who felt he was raped by a girl at a party and I totally believed him while knowing full well if he told his friends they would give him a hard time about it. Of course I also think the gender thing applies to abuse. I've had friends - guys who have been abused by women, emotionally - and physically. Guys who have been cheated on and keep going back to the girl. Everyone thinks in the other way around. Society and popular culture abuse guys in insidious ways. Your story is one example. Movies on the same topic - guys who 'get with' older women are cooler. Even though in things like Valentine's day with commercials that say if you really love her you'll buy her a diamond. They never say if you really love him you'll blow two paychecks or more on a new flat screen tv. I know I could've said jewelery but I think this is romantic to a guy. I once bought a boyfriend an Xbox or PS2 or something when it first came out - waited in line for hours. I think this is romantic in a way. I think he preferred it to flowers and a diamond tennis bracelet. Although some guys go for that kind of thing. Thank you for raising some awareness once again! Missed your posts.

I'm sorry, but why is this woman not in jail? Did the judge lose his mind or something. She's 22 and the kid is 14. HELLO! That's rape in any book and she should be in jail. Her personal problems shouldn't have anything to do with the fact that it's rape.

FOR me the fact that it is a woman abusing a young boy is the reason she stayed out of jail, can you imagine the impact an atack on a 14 year old girl by a male school teacher? i cant imagine he would escape jail, can you? Now, i have to be careful here, i am baned from entering Italy, i was kicked out for going topless one afternoon. Lol, im nothing to look at but i had a few males looking at me and a few of the wives complained, lol so i know how anal Italy can be blessed be

To me rape is rape! No difference because of gender, age or marital status and all should be punished equally to the full extent of the law.

So now I just went and read the second link you posted and I am still equally amazed. If you are a woman you can force yourself upon a 14yr old boy but if you are a man you can not sit next to or look at a 55yr old woman? I implore you what is the world coming to?

i hope i dont sound too insensitive, i agree rape is rape, but im trying to put myself in that 14 year old boys place, 14 is still a kid i agree, and to be taken advatage of by a 22 year old woman is wrong legally i know, but ummm..honestly if i was that boy, i would consider my self lucky, sory...its just me, but its wrong i know its wrong

We do not get to know much about this case barring few statement of facts. And it is rather difficult to comment/judge the gravity of this case with the available information as it may not be impartial. But I think the story is shocking and shaking. I appreciate emotional flare may provoke someone to commit wrongs momentarily. Still with a 14yrs old boy - this seems to be too much, and it must be treated as a crime.

There is a double standard here. If a guy had done this , we would be in jail and people would be looking to kil him. He would have ruined the girl's life. But in this case , I guess in some circles the teacher has made the guy's life.

Hi progamer, There has always been the double standard, but I thought that things very improving in that way. I guess it isn't. Blessings.

if it was due to mental problems,then the 22year old teacher cannot be tried for rape (because she is mentally disturbed and laws protect those that like that from being tried even from heinous crimes). If it is proven that she was indeed having mental problems then I would have to agree with the decision that she be put into counseling instead. though, the 14year old should also be put into counseling to make sure the experience doesn't traumatize him (does it?) the most important thing to remember is that it is NOT rape if one party gave consent. if the other party is a minor, its considered seduction even if the other party gave consent.

Ok number 1= Ewwwwwww!! Who in the heck would even consider a 14 year old boy sexually as an adult? Ewwwwwwwwww....Maybe it's just me but I like men not boys. While there is absolutely no excuse for this kind of behavior, kids nowadays, are not as innocent as we would like them to be. He was probably lucky to his friends and bragged about it. But it is a crime and should be. It's just disgusting that this woman had to look at a 14 year old boy when she could at least go find an 18 year old. The age difference isn't that much but he is a minor and considered a child. It's just gross on every level.

Hello programmer, You have certainly posted a very good discussion here. That makes me very scared now, for I'm not sure on which women have the intentions to rape me, . Just kidding. But truth be told, it is rather not easy being a guy nowadays. You get the "He molest me" so easily, if you just so much accidentally brush on her thighs or "upper part of the body". And to make things worst, like the case you mentioned in this discussion. I think that the female "raper" should be judged the same way as a man does. Not sure why, but I wouldn't want this incident to cause a lot more of rape cases of men. Take care and have a nice day. ;)

I believe that rape is rape no matter what gender it involves.

I believe that regardless of who you are or being male or female should not matter. If you rape a child the punishment should be the same. Several years ago two women held a man down and raped him, nothing was done because the police did not believe two women could hold a man down if he didn't want it. You should have seen these two women they had to have been over 200 pounds and he was maybe 130. He ended up moving because of all the taunting. Wrong is wrong!!
