Not saying that I condone what she did, I don't at all, but he knew EXACTLY what he was doing with her.

or whether she abused her position of authority, or whether she ought to be in jail.

I wanted to believe that there is not a double standard.

Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest said that he wanted jail time, but the family of the victim asked that the teenager not be called to testify.
If he didn't testify, they probably had little to no evidence. So they took the guilty plea that they could get, in the interest of not parading the victim up on the witness stand. Unless someone else actually saw it happen, then without his testimony, you probably have only circumstantial evidence at best.

I wouldn't question Guest's stance on crime and jailtime.

The woman was also indicted in Lafayette County in June for having had sex with the kid in a hotel room while on a school trip (where she was the school chaperone).

Now, unlike other criminal violations, sex between teachers and students is treated differently under the law. After the allegation is made and after the teacher is arrested, the court conducts a "probable cause hearing" to see whether there is sufficient evidence for a grand jury review. It's an extra layer of protection to ferret out frivolous allegations. At her LaFayette County probable cause hearing, this woman testified [oh, yes, she did] and admitted to receiving studly property. The kid also testified to everything at the same hearing. The transcript of the Lafayette County probable cause hearing is sitting in a file at the Rankin County DA's office. Guest had everything he needed for a conviction without the kid.

You didn't know about this. But I suspect your response would be different had you known it.

As Guest is very tough on crime and has a record of going for the throat, i bet the wishes of the family (victim not having to testify) have more to do with this than anything else. Guest would have gone for the death penalty (most serve penalty) if he thought it was possible.

How many 16 year old young "men" know what the hell they're doing even approximately? And you're saying exactly? Way to promote the blame the victim culture. It's getting a lot of votes, so you're fine.

if it's legal for a non-teacher, just fire her ***, make sure she's not allowed to teach again, and be done with it. Not saying it's not despicable, but if the age of consent is 16, and the sex is consensual, the repercussions should be limited to the perpetrator's career. If it were a doctor, loss of license, teacher, same, etc.If you think a 30 year old (or however old she is) that has sex with a 16 year old should go to jail (something that doesn't seem like too crazy of an idea), it shouldn't matter whether they're a teacher or not.

Oh, and yes, it sucks that there's a double standard. If it was a 30 year old man (or however old she is), he'd definitely be looking at jail time.

i'm an old guy and when i was in high school we had some hot teaches and if one of them had abused me like that i wouldn't have needed counseling, i'd have been a 17ing hero and a happy one at that. now i haven't read the article and she may be a ***** in which case the kids judgement should be questioned but frankly while i officially disapprove and agree its a sin, i'm just having trouble getting all worked up about this.

in the interest of a big time DOUBLE STANDARD..... if this were a male teacher on a female student, he ought to be castrated and if it were my daughter he would wish for that to be the extent of his punishment. just sayin.

They call the "kid" a victim, when I was in school we would have called him Stud.

And believe me, if you knew Micheal Guest, who was nick named "Teen Wolf" when he was at State, you would know that the boy doesn't play. He went for the max, I can promise you. Any leniency given was not his choosing.

The only problem here is that she was a teacher, and he was a student at the same high school. These two having sex would not be against the law if they did not have the teacher/student law.

She should be punished by what the laws say, but really, a 30 year maximum is way to harsh for this.

BTW, if this was a male teacher, and a female student and everything else was the same... He would be in jail for 30 years.

because if a male teacher has sex with my fictitious 16 year old daughter, first he is a dead son-of-a-***** and secondly, I will not sleep till his dead corpse is his prison.

Because it is a female teacher and a male student is absolutely NO different than that scenario.

Shmuley and I agree and for once, I am good with that.

is that a male can rape a female against her will.

A female can't make a guy get it up. He has to be excited about the process. He has to be a little willing.

There definitely is a double standard, and strangely, I agree with it. 16yo guy-mistake, but it'll be alright, teacher loses job; 16 yo girl-death for teacher.

Definitely not the same if the genders are reversed. 99% of 16 year old boys could easily overpower the average 30 year old woman <span style="font-weight: bold;">if he wanted to. </span>And somebody please tell me with a straight face that you think he will be mentally scarred by this. He will still be bragging about this when he's thirty. And yes, I have a daughter. I guess legally you have to treat them the same way though.

A 10 year old can willingly do something, but that doesnt mean they are able to consent. Damn damn damn.

It doesnt matter if a 12 year old or 14 year old minor is willing. Legally, their will isnt recognized. Apparently that whole lack of a developed frontal lobe thing kinda keeps em from being allowed to consent.

As for your assertion that a female cant make a guy get it up...well thats just insane. Apparently you dont remember high school. You could wish it away all you want, your body was going to make its own decision sometimes.

What an incredibly ignorant post.

If you think the 16 year old boy was a "victim" for getting to bang his 30 year old teacher you are a dumbass. Either that or you're ***** that loves him some tube sock.

Here's a good double standard for you, or hypcrotical statement, however you look at it. If that was my 16 year old, girl or boy, someone would have hell to pay.

At 16, there were a couple of female teachers I would'vetapped if given the oppurtunity. Hell, I had a teacher in 8th grade I wanted to 17.

Unless the kid is mentally challenged, at 16 he knows exactly what he's doing.

"That kid that had sex with his high-school teacher a few months ago—he died today. He died from high-fiving."
