| Posted 2 months ago It does to the law. But this predator's lame excuse (which the news story shows to be false, anyway,) won't (or shouldn't) get any reduction of the charges against him. What a complete and utter idiot - what a sorry excuse for a human being. |

| Posted 2 months ago The things people do. I do not agree with what he did. I think they should lock him up, throw away the key, and forget to feed him. I think that men who do these things should be castrated like they used to be way back when. And let him stay in prison. It amazes me how someone can do something and try to lay blame to another. Disgusting, disrespectful, and just plain against the law and to do such thing in the authority of a teacher or classroom supervisor. We teachers have enough stigma to contend with and now another case of student abuse. Sheesh cant mean find willing women anymore?
Every cloud has a silver lining. |
