Am I the only one that really doesn't give a crap about these types of stories, male or female? Like, yeah, obviously she's broken the law and abused her position of power, and yes there are a lot of double standards dependent on the sex of the individuals involved and it should be equal, but in all honesty...do I think it's that bad? Not really.

People who are on the cusp of 16 having consensual sex with someone older, is IMO, not much of a problem. Obviously the younger you get and the less consensual it is, the more of an issue it becomes, but my reaction to stories like these is usually '' I know someone will inevitably point out you can't legally consent to sex until you're 16, but if we stop looking at it in legal terms and in...well...reality, if someone isn't being forced into it, and is almost 16, it's consensual. Age is only a number

And when stories of this ilk emerge and the person involved is 16/17, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it at all. And I really never get the hysteria over that. I can understand minors, but when you're over 16...well...sorry, that's their business and no one else's. It's a bit like that story of the 16 year old girl and the 30 year old teacher that ran off to France a few years ago, and people were calling for him to be slaughtered etc, and it's like well no, she's of age, it's clearly not just a sex thing and they actually have feelings for each other, so whatever

This is not paedophillia either.

Prove it.

Because as I've just referenced, I felt exactly the same when the story about the 30 year old male teacher and 16 year old girl emerged

Actually, I did a search and it turns out it wasn't legal at all. The girl was 15, but the pair began their affair when she was 14. Read my two posts on this page:

I think you've touched on a good point though Niamh, the mentality of "oh!! he should have enjoyed it!!" is an attitude spread around by men themselves and this whole 'lad culture', which really doesn't help to solve the issue of women getting let off lighter for paedophilia when it should be equal punishments to both genders.

You'll love the comments on here then

Despite what I posted earlier, one comment I saw that said something along the lines of 'of course it would be different if it were a male teacher with a female student! Guys and girls are not the same' is a stretch too far for me

Me too..

It's all the usual "mens rights!!!!!!" people that are contradicting themselves as well and it's really upsetting that someone can be allowed to get away lighter with a crime like this because of their gender.

[LukeB]

women can be peaodophile too.. she should be jailed or something because it's against the law as he is under 16.

but i do feel Two months of abuse by Caroline Berriman left boy 'scarred for life' is a lie... even tho it seems she was the one that led him on or it could be the other way round. idk it takes two to tango.

He was on This Morning and said her child kept calling him "daddy" which he was uncomfortable with and felt pressure of having to keep their relationship a secret. He said it was fun at the start but it became a huge problem and tried to end the relationship.

So just because it came from his mouth doesn't mean it's 100% true not everyone tells the whole truth

It's unfair to accuse him of lying, really

[LukeB]

Just because he's 15 and is known as a victim in all this doesn't mean he's telling the whole truth and people have to believe what he says..Not every story is 100% accurate or the truth.

This woman is not a paedophile

And before I'm accused of the inevitable, had it been a male teacher (as was the case a few years back), he would not be a paedophile either

[Liam-]

Typical, the victim is 'lying' how grim
