13. I dont know anything about this case

I dont even know the sex of the victims. The article in the OP doesn't really give much information.

I was just making a point of how society views these kind of news stories. Go into any comment section for a story on a female teacher having sex with a male student and nearly every response will be, "what a lucky boy!" "Where were teachers like that when I was in school?" "That kid was stupid to say anything!" etc, etc, etc...
Now if you look at a news story of a male teacher having sex with a female student...there is outrage. There is calls for the death penalty. Is either the male or female teacher punished very harshly? Probably not, although that wasn't really the point I was making. I was focusing more on the reaction society in general has.

BUT...men who are accused of this crime and are convicted do usually receive some prison time, even if it is a small amount. A lot of women that are guilty of the same crime many times only get probation and sometimes don't even have to register as a sex offender. Neither get enough time...but there is inequality. The justice system has a lot of difficulty viewing women as violent or sexual offenders, even when they display that predator behavior.
