You can't post porn to tumblr in the UK? What the fuck do they use tumblr for then?
I'm okay with this, despite the kid not being unable to consent. The kid was a minor though, but legal age of adulthood and age of consent are different in most places.
Anyways, my reasoning is that if an adult male has sex with an adult female and the male is in a position of authority, he gets reamed. Hell, it can even be considered rape now.
Vice versa is the same

Pretty fair verdict it seems.
He was in a position of power over her hence the firing. If he was a teacher in another school then hey go for it.
I'm glad no charges were filed though as she was of consenting age.

Come on guys, at least pretend to be outraged so people will keep spouting off that crazy double standard if the genders were reversed.
That's fair, doesn't matter if they are of legal age a teacher or person of authority shouldn't be in relationships with their subordinates. It creates an uneven playing field for other students that will have to bust their ass off x10 as hard while this student probably gets free grades for sex.
It has nothing to do with child pornography. Having sex with one of your own students is a breach of professional ethics. He's in a position of authority over the student.
If it were just some Random 17 year old...then it wouldn't be an issue because of the legal age of consent being 16.
