Yes, it’s the NY Post, but they had the best headline of multiple sources. Also, anybody who makes the remark, “where were they when I was in school” will be seen for the last time.
A Missouri teacher has been charged with statutory rape for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student while other students served as “lookouts” — with the boy’s father also facing a felony charge for condoning the disturbing relationship.
Laquey High School math teacher Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested in Garden Ridge, Texas, on Friday after she “was suspected of fleeing the State of Missouri” to avoid arrest warrants, according to law enforcement.
The headline says she had sex with a teenager, which is semantic sugar for statutory rape. The only libel they seem to be protecting themselves against is if she is proven innocent on the basis that the teen was actually old enough to have consent. “Allegedly raped” would be more effective CYA language and would not pussyfoot around the concept that sex with a minor is rape
“semantic sugar” is the best phrase I’ve read on the internet today. Kudos to you, anon.
It’s a common CS thing. Like +=
