| For many thousands of years, all over the Earth, cultures have had couples pairing off at ages you are not used to and apparently don't sanction. |
Eh, this kind of logic doesn't work for me.
For many thousands of years, all over the Earth, we did lots of stupid things....that doesn't mean they apply to the year 2005...in America.
This woman was a teacher to a young boy. Sure, everyone can fire off the "hey, I would have loved to bang my teacher" jokes, but the reality is...how would most people feel if their young son came to them and told them that a 30 something year old teacher had been having sex with them?
The media is glamorizing this crime..because it was a crime, make no mistake about it.
If a 35 year old male teacher was having sex with a 13 year old girl, this would be viewed entirely different.
