Teachers these days don’t see kids as children. They see them as short adults.

My first impulse is to declare NOT GUILTY...until you see the two little girls and their father, whose lives will be destroyed for the foreseeable future.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

It seems like every other day there is a new story about some teacher having sex with a student. Sheesh. The schools are so messed up....

Age of consent int he UK is 16, however:

“The age of consent in England and Wales is 16, as specified by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (section 9). However, if a person (A) over the age of 18 in a position of trust over a person (B) under the age of 18, it is illegal for A to engage in sexual activity with B. (section 16)”

Someone over 18 in a Position of Trust over someone who was 16.

GUILTY

Courtney Bowles was found by a police officer naked lying on top of the boy

Courtney Bowles was found by a police officer naked lying on top of the boy, who was also completely naked, from her school in Colorado. A partly consumed bottle of vodka was also found in the car with the couple.

But was there any hard evidence?

[mowowie]

she maybe not guilty but she sure is pathetic.

[Melas]

I was so born in the wrong era. This one is not guilty.

advises colleagues on how to avoid affairs with students

Do they really need advice on how not to have affairs with their students? Does it go something like:
1. Don't drive to a park after dark with your student.
2. Don't drink a bottle of vodka with your student.
3. Don't get naked and get on top of your student.
4. And if you can't avoid 1-3 at least DON'T GET CAUGHT!

[PLMerite]

“A teacher who advises colleagues on how to avoid affairs with students...”

This is a real job now ?

She should be under house arrest... at my house.

[popdonnelly]

The first sentence in the article is the very definition of hypocrisy.

This is actually Lesson One. First, she demonstrates the wrong way to avoid having affairs with your students.

[Revolting cat!]

HOT BABE PING!

[windsorknot]

Some might be more inclined to condone the behavior because the perp happens to be female, but that fact is irrelevant, and makes her actions no more acceptable.

Institute approved?

[mad_as_he$$]

Everyone on this thread so far has missed the real point. It was the vodka’s fault!!!!
