Susan Duursma Sentenced to Sixty Days in Jail for Sex Crime with Teen

[Gman]

6. To call it rape when it involves a 15, 16 or 17 YO

boy is ludicrous. It's bad policy and screws up the lives of good women. I don't know this woman or anything about her but her life is messed up forever. She is likely a great teacher. In higher education, a relationship between a teacher and a student is forbidden by rules and ethics. A college prof, make or female, would be fired for fraternization to this degree. And so should the woman in this case at a secondary school level. Enforcing ethics and rules are good for this type thing by protecting the integrity of the system. But tagging someone like her as a sex offender for life and a convicted felon is ridiculous. She'll never be a productive member of society again. Some say the boy didn't understand. Would a teenage boy's answer of. "Yes" be any different at 16 than it would be at 40?

Now if it's a male adult teacher and a female high school student, nail the SOB to the jail wall. Some things are not equal and this is a great example.
