I wonder what the comments on here would be if the relationship was same sex, or the teacher was male and the student female. I am pretty sure they would be quite different.

Victim? Not really. Bragging rights? Absolutely. You know he was telling all his buddies about how he scored with this older chick. Him being 17 is not the same as if he were 13. He knew what he was doing. Granted, she should have known better, but if punishment is involved, it should be 50/50. Takes 2.

Yea... He thought he was the luckiest man alive. Victom? Yea wright!!! Now they're gonna slap a felony charge on her and make her register as a sex offender for giving that young man some of the best memeries of his life. There is a Garth Brooks song called (that summer)if any of you know what i'm talking about it would fit pretty good. It's not a new thing for older weman to get with younger men. When i was 16,17 I had the same kind of fun. Shoot!!! I wound up marrying an older woman. Getting ready to celebrate our 21st this month.

I'm with charlie. Seriously, how many of us were sexually active at 17? When I was 15, I was "active" with my 15 year old girlfriend. And haven't stopped since. There was a time in this country when people that young got married, even younger. What changed? Our "morals"? Bull; if anything, our morals have spiraled downward. Slap her on the wrist if she's guilty, take her license away, and give the dude an attaboy!
