Teen Who Bragged About Threesome With Teachers Feels Really Bad [View all]

The teenage boy at the center of the Louisiana school threesome scandal is devastated that his bragging has ruined the promising careers of two teachers.

'He is really down about it right now,' the high school junior's grandfather told MailOnline in an exclusive interview. 'All boys that age want to brag about what they are doing. He didn't expect it would come to this.'

The teachers, Rachel Respess, 24, and married mom-of-three Shelley Dufresne, 32, are currently out on bond awaiting trial for having sex with their student. They are on unpaid leave from their jobs at Destrehan High School and are unlikely ever to return.

'He feels really bad,' said the boy's grandfather. 'These women have families and he knows how terrible it is for them. He knows they will never be able to teach again and could very well go to prison.

Just kind of a WTF story all the way around.

Of course the definitions of consent are different...you are talking different classes msanthrope Oct 2014 #125

No. The difference in "consent" is an actual legal distinction. DirkGently Oct 2014 #130
