Yeah, what is up with that? The minors were victims, as all minors are victims when pursued by older people (who should know better!)
I've seen this line of thinking when people hear about cases with older teens (male and female) but really- a
teacher? The teacher should know better, whereas the kids will be kids and fully not comprehend why it's a bad idea to be involved with an adult (because they think they are adults in their minds, but that doesn't make them mature enough to be dealing with a 40 something year old in a "peer" type relationship.)
We had two teachers in the city across the river within the past 2 years. One male, one female. The female worked on these young girls by telling them what they wanted to hear, but she was really trying to bait them into three-ways with her and her husband. That's really sick. I don't believe much came from either case- they can't teach anymore, but it pretty much amounts to a slap on the wrist- and THAT is not fair. If Joe Pervert is texting an underage kid sexual stuff, it will be dealt with much harsher than if it's a teacher, at least that's how it seemed to pan out with these cases. Teachers should, if anything, be held to a higher standard (like jail, not probation!)
