A friend of mine knew the girl from the "infamous" Aberdeen story (a girl ran off to France I think it was, with her teacher who was about 50) from about 20 years ago... She told me a couple of years back that they're apparently still together and have kids . I remember it seeming like such an unusual story at the time but then you go to Uni and EVERYONE has a story from their own school.

Hopefully they put her in gen-pop and make it well known what she's in there for. Save the costs of a trial and all that .

[Ammi]

...she should have a maximum sentence and the full weight of justice, surely that’s what the child’s parents would want also...her ‘being beaten up’ or whatever is suggested, serves no purpose at all...nothing is ‘served’ by that...

[The teacher at at Princes Risborough School
had bombarded him with messages
including one where she
asked him 'Do you like boobs or bum?',
and sent him a photo of herself
on a bed surrounded by sex toys.

But Barber - who was sentenced
at Aylesbury Crown Court- was found
out after a topless pictures she
had sent her victim was circulated
around so much it ended up being
passed to the head teacher of their school.

ordeal had impacted his GCSE results.]

The word "rape" appears in the title of this thread and is scattered throughout. For the sake of accuracy I have to say she was found guilty of "one count of causing or inciting a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity" and would never have been charged with rape.

I read the article... what a piece of scum she is.

Statutory rape is statutory rape.

...6 years, serving around 2 or 3 years...?...I know that a maximum sentence has restrictions but that to me isn’t justice and where the justice system fails ...a sentence as low as that for her crime is a failure to protect a child/children IMO....what she did was horrendous, to groom a child ....

Completely agree.

Rape = penetration. Look it up.

Then it's outdated and needs updating

Children can't consent to sex, it's as simple as that. Do you think a senile old woman can consent to borrowing money with a ridiculously high interest rate?

Or more comparably, would you think it was theft if someone tricked an old person into giving them vast amounts of money by taking advantage of their mental state?

[Marsh.]

Ah the most important detail people wanted clarifying, who penetrated who. Statutory rape is sex with a minor.

Tibb is not a court document.

After she takes a few beatings from the women inmates, she will then be passed around as the womens pleasure toy.

She still didn't rape him.

I hope her sentence is appealed and increased.

In what world does the definition of a word within a specific country's legal system = the objective semantic meaning of the word? They're not the same thing, surely you know that.

You can say "she was not charged with rape under English legal definitions" - but whether or not the act of a woman having underage sex with a male can be in one's opinion be considered a form of rape has nothing to do with the legal technicalities... Just as with murder. People can (validly) say "That's clearly murder" about things that the legal system defines as manslaughter, etc.

Hell there isn't even consensus in Western legal systems from what I'm reading - e.g. Some legal systems define rape as forceful penetration with anything including inanimate objects, others it had to be a body part, others it specifically has to be penis.

The disturbing part is she's a mother aswell, how would she feel if this happened to her own kids ! .

A friend of mine, at 17, had a fling with a 48 year old woman who had a 16 year old son. Whilst obviously it's not technically illegal, to this day I often wonder how the **** she could have sex with a kid basically her own son's age.

My friend wasn't even big built/mature looking at that age or anything - he very much looked like a skinny teenage boy. Just gross .

Some people claim rape culture doesn't exist in the west, and unfortunately when one of the examples given to prove its existence is wolf-whistling, it becomes easy to dismiss.

But when a literal victim comes forward, not only does he have to hesr that he wasn't actually raped, but other people in his shoes (I've not actually heard this in his case) have to hear "phroaw, lucky him!" or "I wish I had teachers like that!"
