      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.

            Tons of reasons to research this. For example: can I get person x arrested for what they did to me/my sibling

              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.

            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.

      Because it’s the fact that she’s the teacher. A position of authority. It’s why a cop cannot have sex with someone who they pulled over, or why a psychiatrist cannot date their client.

          Technically correct!

          I’m willing to bet that the staff of the student is counted as a whole. Anyone on the payroll of that school would be equally guilty.

            I’m not sure they should be. At a large enough school, there’s plenty of staff you’d never interact with, a person you’d never know was a student or a teacher if you met them outside of school.

            Granted it’s still an ethical problem due to age, though I don’t know the age of consent law wherever this is. College is where it really gets less clear cut and more messy.

      Um… “Abused a position of trust” ≠ rape? You might wanna check the definition, friend. 😅😶

        Having sex with a child is rape. Statutory rape, specifically.

        “Abused a position of trust” is language used in the school I worked at, so I used their wording.

        Its a description, not a legal term, as far as I’m aware.

          All due respect, but you seem to be confusing your awareness of the definition with the actual thing. Please do confirm for yourself what the details of this term are. 🙇🏼‍♂️✊🏼

      Next, are you going to give us a lengthy explanation of the difference between “pedophile” and “ephebophile”?
