    I’d say no, but the world is going crazy, so probably the guy is going to get the book thrown at him. At the rate things are going they’ll raise the age of consent to 30 and make it illegal if the other person earns less money than you.

      World going crazy? Who let the libertarians out. This guy was her teacher months prior and was a teacher to other children. He is a predator.

          After her last day of school, before her last day of exams. Sounds like a position of trust to me… Did she even have her final marks in his class while they were texting each other?

        But he’s being charged with a crime he didn’t commit. He banged a 17 year old, legal in Canada, upsetting though it may be to those less desirable pantywads.

      Just because you left your teaching job before fucking your 16 year old ex-student, that doesn’t magically make you not a sexual predator.

        He didn’t leave his teaching job.

        I don’t necessarily disagree with you. But it also doesn’t magically make you a sexual predator either. We have rules to prevent sexual predation, such as that you can’t fuck your students and someone has to be over a certain age to have sex with an adult. From my view this is all panty wringing and the dude broke no laws. Maybe he is a predator, maybe the laws should be changed. Or maybe we shouldn’t infantilize sexually active mature human beings and maybe we ought to teach our daughters about dudes like this.

          Or maybe we should make dudes not be able to do something like this. Seems like the better way to handle it.
