my penal code definition of pedaphilia is from CA penal code 288
see link
CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE SECTION 281-294
btw i am slightly off its 10 years difference not 14.
and the child must be under 14 not 18.

There is no penal code definition of pedophilia. Pedophilia is not a legal term at all. That code defines "lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14" and other crimes. Pedophilia is a mental disposition, not an overt act or crime.

And regardless of the teachers 'hotness', no teenager asks for that.

Sure, I agree with your coulds--"could have the potential of sex for grades", "could have to do with manipulative predation." But it shouldn't be absolutely presumed the way it is currently. Consent should at least be allowed as a defense. And in any case, I'm all for firing and blacklisting the teachers. But prison? Ridiculous. Save prison cells for real thugs and dangerous offenders.

no there is not. but there is a legal instrument for dealing with the behavior called penal code 288. all crime is a mental disposition. assault on children is overt and is criminal in nature.

It's important to use words correctly. Pedophilia is not interchangeable with penal code 288, although there's certainly a substantial overlap. Some pedophiles don't violate section 288. Some people who violate section 288 are not pedophiles.

some pedophiles do violate penal code 288 and get caught others dont for a long time.

I was in 7th grade and my teacher was a runner short shorts long black curly hair. She was sick one day and called our house becuase we were neighbors. to help care for her animals. 2 large inside dogs. I never told anyone even though my mom suspected. Was I a victim? I didn't feel like it. But looking back now. I think maybe there was some other effects. I am completely blown away by a women that resmebles my teacher or just dark super curly hair. and now in my late 30's havent had a lot of luck with women my age. and about 5 yrs ago. I was doing work for a lady that was in her late 70's and she said something about me being in a bodybuilding competition. I said yes i was preparing for it. She made comments about my muscles and stuff. Moderator cut: Not PG-13 Well now i desire it. I go to the store or shopping and feel stupid. cuz im 37 6'3 250 21 inch biceps 54 inch chest 33 inch west and all the 20-28 yr old girls are having a fit. and i am wanting women in ther 70's and 80's SO i guess it did break me and now ill always be broken. the ladies i try to make conversation with in there 70' thing im crazy. but it only thing gets me going. and i wont have any 70-80 yr old women coming to me anytime soon.
