What? See an ophthalmologist. She’s guilty unless she’s really, really good at what she did.

Looks like she might be not guilty. Must have more pics.

Jury finds her guilty but commutes sentence due to age of “victim”

guilty with a small ‘g’ with the option of upgrading to a large G pending further deliberation.

Some states do not permit sex between a student and a teacher, even if that student is 18 and legally an adult. It’s all about power and the fact that someone in authority (a teacher or an administrator) can have an adverse influence over a student — “You either have sex with me or I’ll fail you.”

Does that carry over into criminalizing relationships between college professors and students? If not, why not? What is the difference between an 18 yo high school senior and an 18 yo college freshman?

Even though I'm a father with daughters, my attitude is that there needs to be an age where you consider a young person to be a complete, self-responsible adult, and 18 sounds like a good age.

She gets a count of “guilty” for every chin she has.

I don’t know if colleges have a policy regarding relationships between students and their professors. Some states do regarding high schools. The onus is on the people in authority — teachers, administrators, not the 18-year-old student.

Nah, she's Guilty. And she looks like Miss Beulah Ballbreaker.

If 18 is the legal age of consent, I don’t see a problem. Only if it started before the age of consent.

And it’s irrelevant if you think the age of consent should be higher.

[AlmaKing]

Most companies I’m involved with just order the separation of the two to prevent supervisor-employee conflict. Firings don’t occur even in reality.

I don’t see any merit of illegality based on age difference. Again, the guy is ‘legal’ because he’s 18 = at or above the age of consent.

[AlmaKing]

I think 18 is pretty much the standard. I’m agreeing with you. I don’t see illegality here. It’s maybe ‘against policy’, but not illegal.

There is more involved here than “age of consent”...
There is also the issue of “teachers” preying on their students...

If “teachers” wish to be thought of as “professionals”, they first need to behave as professionals.....and keep their peckers in their pants around their students.

The fact you didn't pick up on that - makes your comment and opinion “irrelevant”..... Right?

"Firings don’t occur even in reality."

You must work in a low class parallel universe..

I've personally fired adult managers, having affairs with adult employees who reported directly to them.... It had nothing to do with age or marital status - it had everything to do with maintaining the integrity of the Manager/Employee relationship.

This occurs frequently in businesses that take Management and Personnel responsibilities seriously.....
