    World going crazy? Who let the libertarians out. This guy was her teacher months prior and was a teacher to other children. He is a predator.

      Yeah where’s the defense of this coming from?

      Comsenting adults, fine. Consenting adults or close enough in range of statutory laws, morally dicey but I guess it’s socially acceptable. Add the fact that they were your teacher, ever, and it crosses ANOTHER line and I don’t think we can lump that many “exceptions” together without it being a big ol’ shit bundle.

        But they’re all behind the line. If we want to pass a clearly worded ordinance about every allowed and disallowed behavior in society then this is the game we are playing. It’s not defending the guy, it’s pointing out that if you want to live under clear laws, you can’t just blur up the lines when it suits you.

        Is the dude a scumbag? Probably. But I’ve lived long enough to see things go from legal but totally not OK, to illegal as it should be, to let’s make everything illegal because someone else doesn’t like it, and I fully expect one day that someone’s going to try to say you can’t fuck someone more than 3 years your junior no matter how old they are.

        What this dude did is absolutely not socially acceptable, but what is socially acceptable is just fashion. Was it immoral? I don’t know, did he lie to her about what their deal was together? It was most certainly not illegal, and nobody was coerced.

          Not the person you were responding to.

          [email protected] shared this legal resource from the Justice Canada webpage on Age of Consent

          To me it’s the fact that he abused his position of trust to initiate a private relationship that makes me feel that a crime may have been committed. (Due to compromised consent).

          Also there may be an argument to be made that a highschool teacher remains in a position of authority while a former student completes post secondary education. As the former student is likely to perceive that a former teacher has potential influence over scholarships/bursaries or want to use them as a positive reference for a summer internship after their first year or something.

          There’s a reasonable chance of conviction so charges are appropriate.

        After her last day of school, before her last day of exams. Sounds like a position of trust to me… Did she even have her final marks in his class while they were texting each other?

      But he’s being charged with a crime he didn’t commit. He banged a 17 year old, legal in Canada, upsetting though it may be to those less desirable pantywads.
