he maybe 30 in years but he did not act like a 30 year old.

And that's an excuse how exactly?

I believe what he did was wrong, especially in light of the fact he was her teacher. Unforgivable... but I'm a little tired of hearing this girl referred to like she is a complete innocent in all this. We all know how provocative and manipultive fifteen year old girls can be, especially those of us who can remember being a fifteen year old girl. I think I said before, but it's worth repeating... the age of criminal responsibility in the UK is ten years old. That means that by ten, you understand the difference between right and wrong. You have to assume then, at fifteen, she fully understood what she was doing. I agree he should be prosecuted and never teach again, but I also think this "poor innocent" girl should be shouldering some of the blame.

this has probably been going on since she was even younger, they were holding hands on a trip when she was 14. The teacher deserves the charges he will get

So someone saw this, but never reported it at the time. Instead they held on to the information to give to the press?

easy tiger!
im not making an excuse for him.
it takes two to tango, 15 year old girls know right from wrong these days.

the school was already investigating him so maybe it was brought to light beforehand

I know that, I was a 15 year old girl once but what I'm saying is, as a 30 year old, married teacher, it was his responsibility not to cross the line with a girl of that age and a student

schools these days work like the police there must be real evidence before anything can be done!

but he did cross the line!
are these the actions of a mature adult?

Making excuses again I see, a bit of prison time might mature him up a bit :idc:

how am i making excuses by asking you a question?

Fifteen year olds think they're grown. They want all the freedoms, they want to dress how they want, have access to all kinds of stuff that people their age didn't have access to even ten years ago. The line between child and woman is getting more blurred all the time. That's not to say I don't think what the bloke did was wrong... it totally was. But the girl needs to take some responsibility for her own involvement and stop being viewed as 100% victim. She was not abducted.

No, I agree with that to point but at 15 she may think she knows it all but it's not until she gets a bit older she'll realise that she didn't and parents and teachers have a responsibility to know this and try to help and protect her till then. So what he, as her teacher did was very, very wrong imo

:pipe:

great post,
if you listen to ten year olds in the park, im shocked at what i hear.
you only have to look at the clothes they sell these days for ten year olds
these days to see how things have changed.

what is with you mods lately!
you like to put your opinion across but when you get questioned you go all!
im above this!

you cant run with the fox and hunt with the hounds!

Never send a fox to mind the chickens :pipe:

you can if he has all teeth pulled out!

Interesting

Maybe the disappearing to france part. But my mate was shagging her teacher at college (she WAS 17 though, not 16) for years and everyone knew about it, and he still teaches there to this day.

That's wrong though imo, you wait till Sky(e) is 15 :joker:

Hard to know what charges if any this guy will have to answer to, she was not abducted and will never testify to that end so they would have a job proving child abduction, she can make a statement stating she went willingly and that so sexual intercourse took place thus eliminating any charges of a sexual nature. So whats left in regard to a criminal prosecution ?

He will certainly lose his job and his abilty to seek future work as a teacher as the breach of trust will almost certainly be classed as Gross misconduct.

Interesting to see if any court case arises from this.

Oh I know its wrong. Was just saying I doubt there would be so much fuss if she was older :p

That said I guess if someone had gone to the papers about the guy my mate was shagging maybe there would have been a fuss over it, who knows...he was only like 10 years older than her...but still was her teacher. He was really ****ing hot though, not that that makes a difference :laugh:
