28 year old woman gets jail time for fondling 16 year old male student. Comments in the article are sympathetic towards her.

It's different with a man and a 16 year old girl. Most young girls do not want or invite sex. They could be scarred for life by even something like this.

16 year old boys are usually raring to go by that age.

According to the court testimony, the kid actually molested her. She's just young and dumb enough to let him.

Can't be too dumb to not know this as a teacher. And since when is 28 year old considered young? Probably just because she is a woman. I remember some women who have been called "girls" at 28...

And this one:

Back in my day this case would have been laughed out of court with the judge scolding the "kid", "what's wrong with you young man, you realize how lucky you are ?"

I do not approve of this judgement, to be honest. But the ignorance of some of the comments is ridiculous.

They would go apeshit if the genders were reversed.

This is an interesting case considering that the age of consent is 16 years old in NJ and it was apparently consensual. The part that makes it 'illegal' is that she is an authority figure.

The prosecutor, Joseph Del Russo, said it was wrong to think that because the victim was a boy, the case should be looked at differently.

"Some people say, 'It's kind of different for boys,'" he said. "Well, it's not kind of different for boys. Because 'boys' is the operative word."

Yes. All of my yes.

To be fair, the amount of punishment is a little severe for an incident that occurred with someone that in some states would be legal and in others is only a few months way from being legal. This isn't pedophilia, this is just gross and unacceptable behavior for someone in her job position.

kkthnxbaibai · 2013-06-21T16:35:08+00:00

At least she got jail! I would say 16 is old enough that it shouldn't be seen as so bad (either way around) tbh but it's good to see equal treatment - sets a nice precedent.

Here's another case with a male teacher and a 16 year old female student. Let's see how this goes in the NJ courts....

This comment made me laugh: "Georgia Atkins The boy made the first move and it sounds like it was consensual to me.

True, being a teacher she shouldn't have gone along with it. But a year in jail is very harsh.

Also, I've never known a sixteen year old boy who would ever say no either and from my experience it's a good thing I have a good right punch too."

So...in essence..."He asked for it!"

The real test is a 28 y.o female teacher and a 16 y.o female student and a 28 y.o male teacher and a 16 y.o male student. I'm guessing that the male teacher gets castrated and imprisoned. The females get shrugged at and the boy is left to spiral into alcoholism.

That font is terrible.

POLITE_ALL_CATS_GUY · 2013-06-21T22:34:01+00:00

I live close by didnt hear about it till now. Wtf. The New Jersey consent law is 16 why is she going to Prison? She should be fired due to being an authority figure to say.

avantvernacular · 2013-06-21T15:00:44+00:00

She needs to be registered as a sex offender for life.

TytalusWarden · 2013-06-21T17:36:14+00:00

Has it really gotten to this point?

First it was "Women are being ignored by the justice system where rape and assault are concerned" Articles were plentiful on MensRights, and justifiably so.

Then "Women are being brought to justice, but are being treated different where rape and assault are concerned"! More articles on MensRights, again justifiably so.

Now the trend I see is these stupid, "Women are being brought to justice and actually receiving proper criminal sentences for their behavior, but LOOK AT ALL THE COMMENTS THAT ARE SYMPATHETIC!" Pfft, I'm satisfied without having a crybaby attack about what SuzyCatLady612 in Singapore thinks about a fair and just sentence by a judge. Y'all need to keep your eye on the ball, you're getting as bad as the newspapers that report, "A blog said that a person in Tennessee may have smoked pot once!" Gee, thanks, if a random INTERNET BLOG is reporting it then surely it must be newsworthy!

At that age I think fondling graduates to a hand job

Maybe this should be a question for an ask men subreddit but I don't think the harm is directly proportional from gender to gender.

anarchists_R_vermin · 2013-06-21T23:09:36+00:00

Stuff like this pisses me off too much.

Super_delicious · 2013-06-22T00:06:00+00:00

I hate how complicated the cases of teens 16+ can get. At 16 you can be tried as an adult and many other things. Technically they're not an adult but they're almost an adult. It makes these cases so difficult.

Tomdowney · 2013-06-22T04:23:02+00:00

Reverse the genders and the femen would scream for the death penalty. How about a general law and societal rule that reads; Don't Molest Children!

bobojojo12 · 2013-06-22T05:12:15+00:00

Not any more !

dirtsurfer · 2013-06-22T06:18:48+00:00

This is all so stupid. Of course these "victims" will be traumatized. When a child falls down and starts screaming the last thing they need is making a big deal about it...get over your hang ups and teach your children how to deal in a situation like that. Sounds to me like the teacher was victimized

LoL_feminism · 2013-06-22T16:38:51+00:00

"I want to say I am sorry to the victim's family, to my family and my friends," she said.

"I want to say I am sorry to the victim, to the victim and to the victim," she said. FTFY

SadinaFem · 2013-06-24T03:42:02+00:00

This reminds me of the Steubenville incident where pity was expressed for the rapists.

Eh, she is def a creeper and is gross. But I don't think it's a big deal at all. He won't be scarred, he probably enjoyed it, and he is the age of consent. The only reason why it is annoying is because if it was the reverse situation, the man would be in a lot more shit.

Methaxetamine · 2013-06-21T15:58:12+00:00

It was consensual, so whats the big deal?

Leone admitted the boy placed her hand on his genitals in school and she kept it there for her own gratification and she also placed her hand on his genitals at her apartment.

Sounds like hes really hurt by it all.

cormega · 2013-06-21T19:50:38+00:00

Where were these teachers when I was in school?

pierceroftheheavens9 · 2013-06-21T20:20:55+00:00

Were the fuck were all these teachers when I was in hs!!!..I wouldn't mind getting fondled by her
