So, I caught this news blurb today where a 24 and 32 year old set of female teachers had a group sex session with a 16 year old male student. Although it was consensual, it is illegal. Apparently, he also had sex with the 32 year old at her house 20 miles west of New Orleans.

The question I have is, should the two female teachers be treated the same had it been two male teachers, 24 and 32 having a gang bang with a 16 year old female student? Even if she were agreeable to it?

Seems to me, in most states this would be statutory rape and thus, severe penalties would apply. Right now it's indecent acts with a minor and related charges. In my state, if that were two males, they would be fried even if it were consensual.

So, I'm particularly interested in hearing what the females think about this. Should these two be adjudicated the same as any two males doing the same thing or, should the rules and punishment be different?

In our society we don't see females as sexual predators and males as sexual victims

I think the seriousness of a crime should be judged by the harm caused and I do not think I would have been in any way damaged if I had boned a hot female teacher at 15 or whatever. Would I feel differently if I was a girl? I can't say, but I'm confident that I'm not abnormal at all by male standards.

No, gender shouldn't matter. My understanding is that 16 years old is below the age of consent there, so by definition that's statutory rape. There is still a power difference between a young male student and an adult female teacher that makes it unacceptable.

These two teachers should be charged as harshly as their male counterparts.

Gender shouldn't matter but does. My hypothesis is that with boys sex is a rite of passage. We think of a boy in a case like this as a lucky duck and wish we had teachers that hot and willing when we were adolescents. If the roles were reversed we would be upset, especially men, because (IMHO) females need protection and shouldn't be defiled or the like. We are taught that a real man protects women and girls; especially daughters. In this case there is more people saying "Good for him. TWO!" Just an opinion, your mileage may vary. Not valid in all states.

This is based on the two very wrong assumptions

1. That teenage girls also don't get the hots for their teachers/coaches and can be a willing participant in an illicit student/teacher relationship and brag about it afterwards to their friends. Society nonetheless brings the hammer down on the male teacher, irregardless of his "hotness"

2. The guy who manages to bang his 2 hot teachers was a "lucky duck." I chuckle when I hear guys say stuff like that and how they "wish they had teachers like that." The truth is, the male student was probably an attractive high status male (i.e. star football player) that was going to have his pick of the female litter anyways. Even if most guys had "those kind of teachers", they would have not risked their professional reputation on some average pimply teenage dork; which the guys posting that sort of commentary most likely were back in high school.

No, it should not matter. The way I see it, there are only two fair alternatives. Either these two female teachers are treated with the same severity as male teachers would in this scenario OR male teachers can get away with it more. I think the answer is relatively obvious, but who knows, maybe someone disagrees. Regardless, we need to end double standards like this. Females can be sexual predators and males can be sexual victims.

sex with underage males carries no risk of pregnancy for the youngster. That is the difference. And the legal age of consent should be much lower, like 14, which in effect, it is, since most prosecutors won't do much if the girl is that age or older. the perception of many jurists will be that "she's old enough to know" So many such cases are hung jury 'losers" for the prosecution, huge amounts of wasted taxpayer money and court time

Let's be real what teenage boy wouldn't want to bang their teacher if they are hot. All my friends and myself always talked about banging teachers when I was younger. I can't speak for girls but I know boys would not pass up a chance to bang the teacher.

And girls don't fantasize about banging their hot mid-20s gym coach? So we should be okay with this too right? As long as everyone is "hot" no harm no foul?
