15 year old girls are such sloots now a days! That b**** wanted it and seduced him. then when she bragged to her friends about it later.... it caught the attention of authorities... oh no when mommy and daddy find out there daughter was a whore the only thing she could conjure up was to get out of getting grounded .... oh no what if they take away her cell phone!!! so.... she just says that she was raped or he forced her.... when there was no such thing. who gives a (expletive deleted)... there 9 years apart .... tons of people who date have a seperation like that in there age... if these minors want to act like adults than charge them too .... she f****ed him because she wanted to not because she was forced.. please/.... it was over summer ??? obviously she hung around him because she wanted to be.
Then again the teacher is as much as a slut as her considering he's a TEACHER he should know better. Don't be Callin bitches out like you know the whole story cause you don't. Don't matter if that slut liked it or it was rape. Still illegal and he gets charged with the same thing. You children are so dumb lately. Last time I checked people under 18 don't know better therefore it was responsibility of the teacher to keep distance. So don't be blaming anybody but the teacher.
That's why it is called statutory rape; he is over 18 and had sex with a minor who can not legally consent. I love the misogynistic victim-blaming that is happening on this forum. How can you possibly think it is alright to call a girl a "slut" for having sex, when it is the man in the wrong here. I went to school with Tom and he was a complete horn-dog then. That unfortunately is what happens to some people who become teachers- they didn't get the attention they wanted when they were in high school so they try to live it out when they are adults. Its wrong and a complete violation of students' and parents' trust. Don't try to defend the guy- he deserves everything that is coming to him.
You don't even know him. I had him as a teacher and he was always completely professional, he made it a point to not even talk about his personal life. I have a hard time believing that he did anything wrong because of the type of person he is. Doing anything like this would be completely out of character for him.
