Ok folks, let me play the Devil's Advocate here.
1. She was voted "Teacher of the Year." An obvious major accomplishment for any teacher to acheive!
2. She had sex with a 15 year old boy. A good thing? Of course not! She is well over the age of consent (33) and legally old enough to be his mother!
3. According to the report, they engaged in relations a few times. Yes, I know, one time is too many!
4. She is on Life Parole. So, I am assuming that if she does ANYTHING WRONG (legally--even a speeding ticket) for the rest of her life, she will find herself in jail!
Think about that. Any little thing. Can she really be perfect for...say... the next 50 years?
5. What would the outcome have been if the gender roles had been reversed? A 33 year old male teacher and a 15 year old female student??
6. Does this punishment fit the crime?
