J, I really hope your kidding with your comments. You sound like a Junior pedophile in training. The kid is a 14 year old middle school student genious. "The woman isn't a sex offender"? When does she graduate to sex offender status? 12 yr old? 11? Seriously, if you really think it's not sick for a 27 yr old to go after a middle school student you need some help J. Take some classes. Go to counseling. Seriously.

Oh alright, I guess we have to be serious now. I wonder how she got caught? Probably some other jealous kids snitched.

Anyhow, even though things like this are technically crimes, our society acts a little ridiculous about teenager/adult sexual allegations. Like the 20-something guy at the vo-tech who had a relationship with the (nearly adult) 16 or 17 year old girl. Those cases are really not worthy of branding someone a "sex offender" (another far overused term) and throwing someone in jail. You can't judge these cases as a whole - the specifics really do matter.

Sex offenders are people who actively pursue and molest children - not someone who gets involved with a mature teenager, and not someone who takes a leak outside somewhere. This woman isn't a sex offender, and putting that mark on people like her, who aren't child molesters, really dilutes the definition of a sex offender. This is not what the classification was intended to mean.

Now that we've heard from the peanut gallery, let's play role reversal. The teacher is a 27 year old male and the middle school student is female, your daughter perhaps.

Still feel the same way, I pray not. This is a crime. We as adults should react accordingly and demand this woman be tried and if convicted, put away to protect other children.

I treasure the "abuse" my hot, young female French teacher applied to me. Ahhhh, the memories.
