Teacher Alice McBrearty jailed for sex with pupil

[Underverse]

She’s a sexual predator and should be labeled as such. I agree with this comment in the article - “You were supposed to keep him safe, to help him make the right decisions. Instead, you helped him make all the wrong ones.”

Shame on her for taking advantage of a child. He’s a victim.

The right decisions? Which are those? And which are wrong? I'm seeing a lot of assumptions here and not a lot of actual harm.

You're aware what age of consent is? Legally if you're under 16 you can not consent

Legally of course. But personally? I bet he consented his heart out.

Yeah the law says that even though you consented, you legally can not consent, so now a woman that made a young boy very happy goes to jail even though no harm was done. A woman will now spend 16 months in jail and the world will not have been made a better place.

I would somewhat agree if she wasn't a teacher

As someone who once was 15 years old boy, well... no damage done to him. To her, thats a different story.
Why cant people just shut up and keep things hidden...

As someone who was once 15 with a friend who did things like this. It most certainly can cause damage. He fucked everything that moved and didn't care what he gave them. He passed away at 21. What I'd like to know is why do people think that girls are these fragile things and having sex at a young age shatters them forever. Meanwhile a boy does the same thing and it's "he's fine"

Short of her possibly being riddled with STDs what part wasn't safe?

Having sex is a wrong decision?

Oh yeah, I'm sure he'll be traumatized.

Do you live anywhere close to reality? At the age of 15, he's probably been rubbing his dick and fantasizing about fucking girls for years. He was probably already sexually active.

What did he die from? Too much sex? Didn't know you could die from that.

As a someone who was once 15 and had many 15 year old friends. If something was willing to have sex, That is basically par for the course...

Did some dude fuck him in the ass against his will? If not, then no, he wasn't raped. He was being given the privilege of nailing this gorgeous girl.

And the obvious reversal. How would you feel if the child was a girl, and the teacher was a man? Would it still be such a blessing? Even if it was consentual?

That's not what brought her into jail.

[Deleted]

Why's that?

Because a teacher has power over a student not to mention she's there to educate not take advantage of horny schoolboys.

The obvious answer? It's different for boys and girls.

Logically, people should really only have a problem with sexual interactions if they cause harm. We shouldn't even be asking other questions.

Of course it's wrong for a teacher to engage in sex with a student, but that should get you fired, not into jail.

Gross, double standards..

No, but she willingly broke a common law

Not necessarily. There's a risk of pregnancy, but that can be easily avoided.

No but underage sex will

Indeed, which is why stated the consensual part. If she agreed to it, and was ok with it, it should be just as much a blessing for a young girl to have sex with an older teacher. Otherwise, it is just a double standard.
