the woman cried cuz she got caught, if she hadn't gotten caught, who knows how many other kids she would have done this with...and I bet it wasn't her first time....
Interracial and homosexual relations between two consenting adults is FAR different from a grown person having a relationship with a kid too young to understand what is happening, AND holds power over them.
Yes, I know the difference, however the two were viewed by the public in the same exact way back then, majority thought it was sick and disgusting, and even criminal.
Thats what I was pointing out, how the general public viewed these things, compared to how they view adult/minor relationships today, and how all that changed relatively quickly, thanks to desensitization.

a rule or a law, regardless is there for a reason, you don't cross that line, period. And if people view you as disgusting or sick, for dating someone of a different race, who cares, I'd venture to say they are the disgusting ones.
as long as you follow the law, what do you care what people think?
I really do believe eventually in the future, we will be apologizing to adults who were convicted of engaging in sexual relationships with minors, people will ask why it took so long for society to come around to this, and why they were discriminated against, considered criminals, for so long. The same exact thing happened with interracial and homosexual relationships, its bound to happen with other preferences too..
Nobody has the "right" to have sex with a minor. They aren't being discriminated against or persecuted. And the adults know it's wrong, because they tell the child to keep it a secret. Also, anyone who works as a teacher should know that it's a horrible abuse of their job position to prey on kids at the school. These people could just as easily find a person over 18 to have sex with.
You would THINK that these predators would learn...that if these teachers sleep with their students that they will get caught AND get publicly humiliated. But yet, we hear these kind of stories on a weekly basis.
In High School I know three that hooked up with teachers... one was at my high school... they had a baby and got married the day she turned 18... he also changed districts... last I heard they were still married with 3 kids now... when she was 17 he was 22...

I'm in no way condoning in any shape manor or way... an Adult in position of authority over a minor... but there are other cases of "Adults" and "Minors" whose love spanned decades.
The retired couple I bought my home from met when he was in the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs... not sure if they called it that 50++ years ago... he was 18 and she was 16... she worked as a waitress.
She told her parents they were going to get married and she would run away from home to do it... the parents relented... so a bride at 16 and a mother at 17... they just celebrated 55 years married...
Another is one I have written about before... the father of my co-worker found himself on the sex offender list when the deputies came knocking on the door... his crime was marrying his high school sweetheart... he was 18 and she was 17... the parents were lived and filed charges... the reason they eloped and married is it was the week before he was sent to Vietnam... He sent his army pay home to her each pay day... she was pregnant... the county postponed action as he was deployed in Vietnam... anyway... after the baby was born things softened and eventually... as in many years it was forgiven... but when the new sex offender law came around he was on the list... at his funeral... it was even mentioned... that they loved each other so much he was willing to risk prison for his love...
The same place as my relative that has three kids with three fathers, one of whom is in prison. We have turned teaching into a blue-collar industrial job, where a large proportion of young teachers are hired out of the bottom third of the two worst public universities in the state, then we wonder why there are some rotten apples.
