under-age sex - is it wrong?

I read an article about a former Gym teacher jailed for sex with a fifteen-year-old. Sure, she broke the law; but my sympathies were with her, and her young lover. I wish that I as a fifteen-year-old had had an opportunity for sex with a good-looking gym teacher. It would have done a lot for my self-confidence later in life. Laws like this don't feel right to me.
I would love to know what readers think of this issue. Am I alone in this?

  1. It doesn't have much to do with confidence. The teacher may have just been using the young girl to his advantage. How do you think it feels to be used like that? You would feel pretty crap I bet.

  2. Is this meant to be a comment on this post, or some other? If this post, then you obvioiusly haven't read either the post or the link in it.

  3. I think that people have abused young children so much that the lines are so blurred now. Look at Mary Kay Letourneau. The public deemed her a menace to children. Yet, her and her young lover now have two children and now that she has served her time they are getting married.

    However, there are many cases of children who are forced by people in a position of trust (can we say Priest anyone?) that makes it difficult to know when a child >wants< to be in a relationship or when they feel as if they have no choice.

    It raises the question as to who should be making the decisions. As a survivor of child abuse, I wish someone had stepped in.

    On the other hand, most of my relationships in my early years were with older men and I truely did not want or need anyone stepping in.

  4. Did this happen in the PI?

    Maybe the law was created to generally protect anyone below 16 as most haven't developed sexual maturity yet--and older people who get intimate with 'em might be construed as taking advantage. And it's relative, you might gain great self-confidence for such an experience but some might get permanent psychological damage. The instructor should've been careful...if it were love, i think she should've sacrificed and waited.
