Sort of want...if she can cook. She probably can judging from the pics. At the very least she’s probably a foodie.

As to lasting 4 minutes or 4 months....after all is said and done it isn’t worth it....sigh.

Lauren Redfern, 25, is a physical education teacher at Basalt High School.

Gee, I always thought female physical education teachers were fugly, lesbo dykes.

[JaguarXKE]

I literally married my current wife of nearly 37 years the day after she graduated from high school! She was barely 18 and I was an old man of 19, almost 20.

Oh horsecrap.

How do you know she coerced him?

Back off and pay attention. This is not my opinion, I actually hold none regarding this event.

I simply summarized the position the Colorado authorities used to charge this woman, in answer to another posters question.

that poor 17 year old child

the horror.....i can’t bear it...sobbing hysterically now....mommy!

kill the wicked slattern....molesting that poor little child and all

[Neidermeyer]

The legs and lack of excessive “booty” put her over the line into “not guilty” territory ...

[Eva]

In most states, the age of consent is irrelevant when it involves a student/teacher relationship.

[Navy Patriot]

Yeah, I wouldn't ruin her life over workplace hanky panky, I'm going with not guilty, but she should get a big girl job in the real world where she faces equals.

[Eva]

It’s not quite like a supervisor bullying a worker because the woman was a gym teacher and the student was unlikely to have been in her gym class.

[Navy Patriot]

See post #40, and I remember when I was 17.

[Texan5]

Not quite-but I was referring to the advantage that an authority figure has-and sometimes uses in a reprehensible way.

[MrEdd]

Abuse of authority, violation of public trust for starters. By Colorado statutes this is still statutory rape because of the position of trust.

I am okay with locking the bitch up for a long time.

Not quite-but I was referring to the advantage that an authority figure has-and sometimes uses in a reprehensible way.

[Peet]

Where the heck were these teachers when I was in high school?!!

No kidding. Seventeen was a long time ago but I still remember it well enough to know I would have hit that so hard Fudd’s First Law Of Inertia would have kicked in.

(Fudd’s First Law Of Inertia from Firesign Theater is stated thus: “If you push something hard enough it will fall over.”)

[AlmaKing]

That’s really wishful thinking - bullying a 17 year old into sex. LOL

[Texan5]

Especially a 17 year old boy-but an attorney would no doubt point out that she did have that advantage, never mind the real world scenario.

[NonValueAdded]

Correct, however the teacher committed a crime because she was in a position of authority over the student in a public institution, using authority to coerce sex, sexual assault, not statutory rape.

Sort of like the relationship between an employer and an intern, right?

[Fledermaus]

One word: antiperspirant

[bjorn14]

[That said, a teacher having sex with a student should still be worthy of dismissal-I’ve worked for businesses that forbade sex between supervisors and those they supervised, and I agree with that.]

But how could a female phys. ed. intructor supervise a boy? Except for obvious reasons in this case.

[wardaddy]

a big hell yea!

my dear grandma too....finest woman i ever knew....4 kids before 20 ....and lived a righteous life for 89 years till 1996
