I'm just amazed that it was called 'sexual abuse' and not 'an intimate relationship', a 'romp', etc. like it usually is.

It's taken a while but looks like we'll be able to call a sexual abuser a sexual abuser regardless of gender!
Was reading about one 49 year old who raped a 14 year old and just got probation. So women still get away with much worse than men.
I mean regarding teachers that may seem like the case, but there’s preteen mothers that would like a word.
Most abusers don’t even get probation, if they’re reported at all.
I really don’t understand the psychology that pushes someone to do something like this. I suppose I should be glad about that
Power and control.
pedo!
What's a pedo?
pedophile noun pe·do·phile ˈpe-də-ˌfī(-ə)l ˈpē- : one affected with pedophilia
I thought it had something to do with feet.
According to wikipedia:
Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.
Is 14 generally considered to be 'prepubescent'?
I hate that I know this, but when it's ~15-19, it's ephebophilia.
Preadolescence is commonly defined as ages 9–12
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preadolescence
no but pretty close, still predatory as fuck.
Oh, that poor victim.
That is a horribly misleading headline when the write up clearly says she was 22 and he was 14 at the time. She is 31 now and he is now 22.
Sorry, are you saying it's ok for a 22 year old to have sex with a 14 year old? I don't really think there's a big different in a 31 year old doing it vs a 22 year old, so I'm not sure that's really the issue you should have with this article.
Never said that. I said that the title is wrong. Really shows a lack of quality of writing when the title of the article contradicts the article itself
But it doesn’t? It just says “when he was 14”, not “he is 14 and she is 31”.
The name and age of the lady in the little blurb under the title indicate her current age, not the age of when she did it.
Right after the age of the boy when she did, though. It's awkwardly phrased and misleading. Just because you can justify something by saying "it's not technically wrong" doesn't change that.
The title doesn't mention their ages. The subtitle is awkwardly phrased because it gives the student's age at the time and her age now, but it's not wrong, and again, I don't really get why you're quibbling about that when the point that it was an adult sexually abusing a child stands regardless.
It doesn't need to be misleading.
