That's pretty fucking ridiculous that she would of been charged if she was a man, but she's let off because she's a woman.. - BUT. I personally do not believe you should be put in jail for having sex with a seven-teen year old, male or female. That's a pretty un-popular opinion, but I feel at that age you're an adult and can make your own choices in life. Fired from your job? Sure. But not put in jail, that seems silly to me. A hour from your 18th birthday? Felony. One hour after? Porn.

when i first saw this a few months ago, i was almost about to write to the judge, but then i saw that it takes Judge Kouris's comment out-of-context:

"If this were a 29-year-old male and a 17-year-old female, I would be inclined to order some incarceration," said 3rd District Judge Mark Kouris during Patch's sentencing hearing. "Why is this different than that?"

Defense attorney Jon Williams explained that the boy not only initiated the sexual tryst, he lied to Patch by telling her he was 18 years old.

she didn't know he was underage

Male judges go easier on women defendants. The so-called "patriarchy" benefits women over men.

If you google her name all that comes up is sexy teacher sites and links to banging hot teachers.. they celebrate her

Can we all just pitch in $25 and sue the federal, or state governments for biased judgement against men? This is pretty clear documentation.

Weird, all my high school female teachers were 50lb over weight and in their 50's. I can honestly say I never had one I wanted to go on a date with until I got to college.

I really don't understand how a judge can make such obviously sexist decisions, then admit to being sexist and making a sexist decision and then for... nothing to happen at all.

Equality means accountability, and responsibility on men, and lack of accountability, and lack of responsibility for women.

Not the first time this has happened in my hometown. One teacher was doing all the 18 year olds in the district. She still teaches.

ttnorac · 2013-02-28T15:55:39+00:00

Look, I'm all for equal punishment for the same crime. All I'm saying is that she is cute, and the 17 year old will have fond memories of that BJ for the rest of his life.

I think this was a case of a victim-less crime.

tyciol · 2013-03-01T18:49:52+00:00

I think punishing this woman is ridiculous. Fire her from her teaching job, yeah, because that is not professional, dating your student, but she shouldn't be jailed for this.

Before people claim double standard though: no, a 29 year old male sub teacher shouldn't be jailed for dating and giving oral to a 17 year old student either. But he should be fired.

Warmaster_Bacon · 2013-02-28T06:48:28+00:00

she is kinda hot, but still completely unfair treatment. judging should be done by artificial intelligence

jack_gats · 2013-02-28T10:16:16+00:00

Poor 17 year-old man (baby?)! He got sex from a looker. To jail with her! Equal injustice for all, men and women!

I agree he could've been traumatized for life though, in the sense that this may have been the best-looking girl he's ever going to have in all his life.

Still, the judge is as stupid as many MRAs in vowing incarceration for a man committing the same "crime".

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2013-02-28T14:30:51+00:00

Well at least the judge was honest about it.

/look if this were a black guy and an underage white girl yeah obviously I'd throw the book at the guy, he's a monster. But it was a decent upstanding white gentleman and some black chick. They are all horny idiots and have no virtue to protect or anything like that. So has a crime really even occurred? It's not racist though, because we'll pretend it isn't.

i went to this highschool, place was crazy, our baseball team got caught making a sex tape, sad thing is the baseball coach got the axe/blame for it...he had nothing to do with it and he was one of the best teachers there, the principal who tried to cover the scandal and threw him under the bus, shortly after she was fired (now works there as a teacher). a couple of students who loved the baseball coach actually uncovered her involvement. the new principal the next year successfully outlawed the color black in any way. luckily i was outta there before that craziness. this teacher didn't work there when i was there though, graduated in '04.

thesonicreducer · 2013-02-28T18:35:14+00:00

The judge was a MAN. Don't you understand how offensive the judge's statement is to women? It's telling them that they're fundamentally different from men and somehow should be treated differently.

ta1901 · 2013-02-28T14:48:37+00:00

"Patch (the defendant) will serve no jail time, probably due to her gender."

Is a partial victory still a victory?

PardusXY · 2013-03-01T04:06:31+00:00

Found the site where the OP got that, and I don't think it's the worst case by far... http://www.zimbio.com/The+50+Most+Infamous+Female+Teacher+Sex+Scandals/articles/Z-S1NRjQaUI/3+Abbie+Jane+Swogger

EccentricDuck · 2013-02-28T08:22:15+00:00

You know, this wouldn't be so offensive if equality wasn't shoved down our throats everywhere else.

To put it in the big picture, despite the potential for power issues to come into play, a young man with an older female teacher is far less likely to cause psychological problems than a young woman with an older male teacher where the power and relationship dynamics are different. For one, it's far less common for a young male to find relationships with older female teachers than it is for a young female, hence making it less likely to become a pattern of appealing sexually to authority in order to get what you want and get around the rules everyone else has to face. Second, women's hypergamous nature makes the young female far more likely of being attracted to those with power over her, once again making it more likely to become a psychological pattern.

That aside however, this is clearly an example of selective equality. Women get a helping hand to attain many of the same responsibilities as men, but they're protected from the consequences of their actions by our legal system. It's societal self-denial at its finest. Make a decision: same opportunities, same consequences (which we'll never fully embrace, the military is a good example of this); or we treat everyone as individuals rather than artificially boosting/protecting them because they fall into a favored group.

Equality is impossible, and attempting to make things equal only backfires. Thus, egalitarians are delusional mongoloids.

Judge Mark Kouris is a piece of shit.
