Not sure why "victim" is in quotes.
Pretty sure some of the girls in Rotherham and other victims of sexual abuse did too by so by your definition presumably they aren't victims either.
There's a huge difference, as you well know. The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal included gang rape, children being forced to watch rape, dousing them with petrol and threatening to set them on fire, threatening to rape their mothers and younger sisters, as well as trafficking them out to other towns.Pretty sure some of the girls in Rotherham and other victims of sexual abuse did too by so by your definition presumably they aren't victims either.
Yes, she's a wrong un, no question there, but the lad returning as many times as he did suggests there was no force, and he was having a great time, up until the time he decided he wasn't.

It's one example and as with others it also involved children being plied with gifts and made to feel special.Yes, she's a wrong un, no question there, but the lad returning as many times as he did suggests there was no force, and he was having a great time, up until the time he decided he wasn't.
They must have been having a great time because they went back right?
You seem to think it's a bit different when it's a woman doing it and the gift is a nice Gucci belt.

I respectfully suggest you don't know what you are talking about.To repeat. There is no excuse for her part in things. Sex with a 15 year old when you're well in to adulthood AND your their teacher is morally wrong, and illegal, and she deserves whatever is coming to her.

I agree she is in the wrong just in case this is not clear. but as with all cases the details reveal the severity. They may have been having a great time and it was only stopped because someone else complained...

Child B estimated they had sex about 30 times according to The Times. So it does look a bit like that. Not that there is any justification for the teacher.I agree she is in the wrong just in case this is not clear. but as with all cases the details reveal the severity.

OK, enlighten me. I haven't witnessed the whole case, all of the evidence, only the bits the mainstream media wish to report. I repeat, she's a wrong-un, ZERO excuse for her behaviour, she broke the law, and she needs to take whatever punishment is going to come her way. If he's returning to her again and again for sex (presumably) under no duress or force, how is he not a willing participant? If there was duress, blackmail, whatever, then of course, that entirely changes the scenario.
To repeat. There is no excuse for her part in things. Sex with a 15 year old when you're well in to adulthood AND your their teacher is morally wrong, and illegal, and she deserves whatever is coming to her.
Look at it this way, does a spouse that is beaten enjoy it because they apparently keep going back for more?To repeat. There is no excuse for her part in things.

It doesn't matter if they were all having a great time or not.
Unless you're trying to differentiate between whether she was raping them, it still comes back to having sex with a child.

He probably did enjoy it but that doesn't mean it is right or that he understands the implications.Crack addicts enjoy crack but it's still bad for them in the long run.

If you look at lots of examples of cases of child abuse I'm pretty sure you could apply the "free will" and "they went back for more" test you and Fermit seem to be applying.I agree she is in the wrong just in case this is not clear. but as with all cases the details reveal the severity.

It doesn't change what it is it just means the victim (not in quotes) didn't realise what it was at the time.
I know this is PistonHeads so there will be loads of "when I was a kid my fingers always smelled of older women and it made me for life" stories that are really definitely true but teachers shagging kids really isn't right.
Look at the number of posters on here who think this is fine because this is a boy but don't seem able to say that they'd be as calm about it if it was their 15 year old daughter getting nailed by her 30 year old male science teacher and you can see the strange double standard being applied.
Even if their daughter kept going back for more which clearly meant she fking loved what he was doing to her the "lucky girl".

Definitions change. Language changes. Going in to every thread where someone uses the term paedophile to describe someone who sexually abused children to argue a technicality about ages is weird behaviour.
And criticising someone for pointing out the correct definition isn't I suppose.Is it not statutory rape given boys were under age of consent?

I have stated that many times.

Yes, that only really has any influence on if they are victims who were abused or if they were willing and are now sad its all over.In a hypothetical case where she was not a school teacher and the lads were 16 years old this would not be a case at all.
The lines we as a society draw are necessary but the reality is often more nuanced.
I know a lady who I went to school with who was sexually active at 14, she was fully in charge and sought it out, I know another who was not ready for sex until her 30s. the world is not equal.
Of course where you are in the world also has a bearing on legality so 16 here is 18 in the US and younger in other places.
