Teacher guilty having sex with 5 students...

[Tzalix]

Evidence showed that Colleps had group sex with the students at least twice, including a videotaped encounter with four of them, the Star-Telegram writes in its detailed account of the "salacious trial."

I sure as hell wouldn't complain if she was my teacher.

[Cattleya]

I'd just like to say that nowhere in the article does it say any of the students considered themselves victims. It merely says three of them said they *didn't* consider themselves victims.

Anyway, there's no indication at all that it was rape, and I really don't see how having consensual sex with 18-year olds deserves up to 20 years of jail. Fire her and take away her license, sure.

And to those asking if I'd react the same if it were a male, yes I would. A teacher shouldn't get jailed just because an 18-year old student wanted to have sex with him.

[FathomFear]

I don't even think she should be fired for it, unless it can be proven that she was abusing her authority - i.e. giving them good grades as a benefit of their relationship.

While arguing whether jail time is justified is one thing, I think it's silly to say that she shouldn't get fired. In the corporate world you can get fired for much, much less than what she did. I manage a team of around 30 people in a corporate setting. If I even openly flirted with anyone below me, I'd be fired--or give a final warning in very frank terms.

The point is that a certain amount of power comes along with being in a leadership position. Not abusing that power is a skill and something that most businesses or organizations take pretty seriously when it comes to this topic.

How could a male be a victim by a female in having coitus? I honestly do not get what the deal is here, seriously.. it should be like this: That's My Boy (2012)

six women raped a man to death, a woman in russia overpowered a thief and raped him and fed him viagra.

On second thought, I hope she gets 20, because ANY male would get 20 in the same situation. Time for some fucking equality bitches!

Where the fuck are you getting this from? It's stupid to send a guy to prison for that many years and stupid to send a woman to prison for that many years for something so stupid as this.

Upholding a stupid law doesn't make it better for anyone.

If this was a guy the responses would be totally different lol.

The only prob i would see with it is if she made deals with her students like you have sex with me you will get a A+ lol

Why do people keep saying this, no one is fucking talking about this. Start a topic and ask the question and I'm sure most people will say the same thing. Don't make assumptions, especially when they are so far off.

I agree that the sentence would be stupid in either case. I think the point was that young women are far more likely to be seen as victims. They're also pressured to protect their integrity by claiming rape, whereas young guys are supposed to boast that they liked it.

[Diraction]

I sure as hell wouldn't complain if she was my teacher.

And neither did the guys who had sex with the teacher in this case. It was just a douche of a prosecutor looking to make a name for himself.

[Gourmandises]

So it's good to encourage people to do bad things then? Because that's what you're saying -- what an amazing society you live in.

It was sarcasm. We need stricter rules, but not as over the top like USA

[Powerogue]

hmm, consensual, but that is still illegal isn't it, in any scenario?

I'd just say fire her, leave it at that.

[Greil]

Damn, why couldn't I have had a teacher like that.

[Bryntrollian]

What abuse of power? I highly doubt all FIVE of them didn't want to have sex with her, let alone her wanting sex with them. You're childish if you truly believe it's "abuse of power," that is beyond absurd. What she did should NOT be illegal, you and others saying it should be are among the worst of the worst.



You are foolish just like the person I quoted. If they were mentally incapable of making a decision on their own then yes it's considered rape/abuse of power, but if they are then no it's not, especially an "abuse of power."


Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying she shouldn't be fired but like others have said numerous times in this thread; prison time is a damn joke. I personally don't see the harm in them sleeping together off campus as long as it 1) Doesn't affect grades and 2) Don't show affection during school hours, it's completely different from a work environment.

Your opinion doesn't matter on the subject as it is against the law for a teacher to have sex with their current students.

[Judge Malthred]

4 testified, only 3 considered themselves victimless. So one considered himself a victim.

The one that overheard her comment that the other 3 were better than him.

[Angry Bob]

Fired from her job, yes, but jail time ?!? FOR WHAT ?!? They were all 18.

[Sarac]

I understand her getting fired as I could see a relationship giving an unfair advantage when correcting tests and such...but other than that I don't see a problem.

It's the same as some companies who have a policy about not sleeping with people you work with.

[Cattlehunter]

I wish the OP would edit his post, since this has been answered dozens of times in this thread. The short of it is, in texas it's a second degree felony for a teacher in primary or secondary school to have sexual relations with a current student regardless of age (unless they are married).

The reasons for the law have been stated and then reiterated just as many times in this thread as well; I suggest reading it.

The law itself is idiotic.

[Cattlehunter]

The law itself is idiotic.

No, it's not. It's a very reasonable law, at least in concept. The only thing wrong with it in this case is the very extreme punishment, which is indeed idiotic.

[Diurdi]

No, it's not. It's a very reasonable law. The only thing wrong with it in this case is the very extreme punishment, which is indeed idiotic.

It's a completely unreasonable law. Two consenting adults should be allowed to legally have sex regardless of their employment, position of authority etc. If the teacher uses coersion to have sex with the students, then it's different ("have sex or I will give you low grades").

Having school rules against sex with students is reasonable, and teachers should definitely be fired.

[Kouki]

The real problem is:

A: Jealous their teacher would not fuck them.

B: Conflict of interest she might be forcing students to fuck or be Failed, or she might pass them if they fuck well.

No, it is NOT a reasonable law, it is a reasonable school policy. The law has no business telling two consenting adults who they can have sex with.

So being a sexually active woman is illegal in russia ? O:
