Where's the problem? He's twenty-two now. Let him have a taste of marriage to see if he really means it.

Especially when you consider that she might be older than his mother.

All together now:
"Young love! First love!" I think this case was remarkably tawdry, what with her being a schoolteacher and him being her 12 year old student when it all began. Without question, she was committing rape, according to the law. Now I just think it is remarkable. I mean, what can you say? The lad is of legal age and then some. If he wants to marry his rapist, that's his business.

Doesn't Mary Kay have a lot of kids from her first marriage? I wonder how those poor kids are doing. How embarrassing-to say the least!
And what is with all these women being so gorgeous? What is with that?? Pam Turner is gorgeous and so was LaFavre or whatever her name was.

Is it me, or is the tone in this thread today a little different than the tone in the NAMBLA thread?
In the NAMBLA thread, the accused men only planned to do what the women in this thread actually did. You have posters in the NAMBLA thread calling for life in prison. You have people in this thread wishing the couple well. Last edited by glatt; 02-15-2005 at 02:20 PM. |

Even Ms. LeTourneau is pretty attractive when she's not in prison garb.
I wasn't going to be the first to mention the appearance factor, but now that Brianna has spoken up (all the better since she's...well...a she), you would think that attractive young women would be aiming a little higher. Is there much research on female child molesters? Certainly, the greatest majority of offenders are males, or so it would seem. Perhaps it is the male nature, rampantly present even at the tender ages of 10, 11, or 12 that causes us to appear to have fewer such cases? I mean, if someone who looked like that gym teacher had wanted to do me when I was 11, I would have fallen to my knees and thanked Jesus. No way would I have told anyone and risk being cut off. Is this *why* we have fewer apparent cases of female child molestation?

If the kid, now 22, wants this, loves her, wants to be with her, and keeps wanting this (theorizing, here, since I can't see into the future), and wanted it them, is it terrible now? If they're married 30 years from now, was she still a rapist (not legally, because legally she is, but in your eyes), was she still doing something wrong?
