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 witness told investigators the victim was the reason “her divorce was pushed through” and that “Hailey had wanted a divorce due to her husband only wanting to ‘do butt stuff,'” the court document revealed.

    I know this is terrible and child endangerment is no laughing matter, but that last bit caught me completely off guard. “I became a paedophile because my husband only wanted to fuck my ass” is a new one on me.

      Technically not a paedo… that’s rape of a pre-pubescent child.

        Every time I hear someone make this distinction it makes me think that they are trying to justify that they themselves are not technically a paedo

          The point is that a true pedophile is worse than what this lady did and the term shouldnt be diluted. A teacher getting sexually involved with 16 year old is bad, but not nearly as bad as if this kid was 8.

          There are already people that will minimize what happened to this kid and say it’s not that bad. We shouldn’t associate what happened here with pedophilia - which is so, so much worse - because people that don’t understand the distinction may minimize it and not realize the awfulness of true pedophilia accusations.

            I don’t think it dilutes the term to call someone in a position of power taking advantage of someone who is legally incapable of offering consenting because of their age a pedophile and a perpetrator of sexual assault.

        I hope you were expecting to be downvoted when you walked into Lemmy and posted a factually, objectively true statement.

        Anyway, here’s my upvote.

    Teacher slapped with rape charges after having sex with teen

    JUST SAY SHE RAPED HIM. WTF IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT.

      If she is tried and somehow found not guilty, then whoever published that she raped him is liable to be sued for libel. That is why the headlines are always worded like they are

        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.

    What’s the age of consent in Missouri?

    Is there a law that says people in a position of responsibility can’t have relationships with those they have authority over?

        Genuinely curious.

        Age of consent in my country is 16 but there are laws that stop teacher student relationships. Wondering if that’s the same in Missouri.
