We need to hear that sanctimonious line from Sen. Finestein and Sen. Specter about the need to make sure people don't try to "impose their morality" through the law again. [irony]

I was trying to look up the legalities on this. It was not easy, but I finally found out that the age of consent in NJ is 16 except when in a postion of athority. That means this guy is toast. A long time ago someone on FR posted a link to a site called ageofconsent.com
They had all that kind of info there, but something happened to that site. tring to go there first gives you an expired certificate message. Then if you go past that you get a warning that the web address might be spoofed(Remember that security flaw). Now I wonder what is going on there. There never was any certificate required in the past anyways. Sounds like something sinister to me.
Are you refering to the teacher? If so, he is a she.
You can thank the liberal mindset toted by most these day's.
The Union is just an out.
I can envision the day that one could be a felon just by winking at another for an attorney could somehow find foul intent in the action.
He never married and I noticed as we got older that he continued to day young girls. He has dated some pretty striking girls too. In fact one of them was a former Miss World from Venezuela.
As he began to approach 60 he finally decided to get married. Trouble is he can no longer have his pick of the younger girls so he goes to Japan and marries a model there who is only 18.
I really like him but he is still a teenager in many respects.
I think that was Pamela Rogers or something like that. From a small town in Tennessee. I think she was a coach at an elementary school and her victim was 11 or 12 years old. She was 27.

I'm not very familiar with private industry so I ask you to cite the applicable law. Courts have determined that public employees be denied pay without due process. That includes a hearing and representation. When you don't want them at work while they are being investigated, you have to pay them. After you make a determination on a course of action you can stop paying them or fire them.
having sex with someone 14 and over is usually not considered pedophilia legally. In most states it's stauatory rape or have sex with a minor over 14. Our history is that post pubescent girls were allowed to be married. Sex with a prepubescent would be pedophilia.
I'd risk it.
What happens in private schools when a teacher is accused of molestation? Clue, teachers are not automatically suspended with pay.
that's why i asked
Whine - do I have to ping this out?
that's "can't be denied"
Possibly, but only if a duly passed statute of their state made repayment of wages from government employment an additional criminal penalty for crimes committed on the job or by abuse of authority derived from government employment.
Start advocating such a change to the laws. Otherwise if found guilty, they get the same punishment as everyone else convicted of the same crime.
OOps, I forgot to mention I was in the Marines.........
Was she an officer?
It sounds like the gym instructor was between the ages of 24-26 while she was luring these teenaged boys into her web. It's a crime the youngsters may not recognize yet, but God only knows the older boys were high-fiving each other after the deed. They probably viewed it as quite a sexual conquest.

Not to nit-pick (but I will anyway:-), but a pedophile is attracted to pre-pubescent kids. I'd hardly rate a 17 year old young man as pre-pubescent.
One of the reasons why women who engage in affairs like this are not punished as severely is that society expects young men to chase after such assignations. Young women are supposed to be more demure, being chased (yet remaining chaste). It is a societal stereotype that once may have been valid, but (sadly) appears to have been coarsened out of our collective lives.
I remember a certain chemistry teacher who fueled some of my most interesting daydreams as a teenager... But she was modest, demure, and entirely proper throughout our one-year association.
It seems that some young teachers may be trying to stay young by injection, so to speak.
