Last week in midle Tenn, a 28 y/o female teacher was tried and found guilty for the seduction and subsequent rape of a 13 y/o male student.
Even though the story may not be anything new, the plea bargained sentence pronounced on her by a male judge in front of a male DA, and represented by a male attorney is big news. 9 mo. jail time and loss of her teaching liscense may seem light in contrast to what might happen if the perp were male, but the real news is that the once bikini clad blond WWF show girl now hired as an unsupervised jr. high coach, has to register on the on the states Sexual Offenders Registry...for Life!
I personally believe as the funding, mostly public, for the myraid of feminist run victims programs continues to evaporate, the discriminatory practices against males will diminish and sexual abuse, rape, and molestation will be treated as the GENDERLESS crime it actually is.
I give the glory of this outcome to the God I serve, but I continue to rejoice in the victory. And every person, victim / survivor or not, should rejoice also because unless everyone can have equality, no one cna have equality.
Thank you; Tom S. in Tn.

I see no major victory until man, woman, rich and poor get the same sentance. 9 months is a %#@&#! in the bucket for she will only serve 3 months since it is serve two for one in most states. If in another state she may even serve but 1 and half months depending on their law. I see no victory in that. Srry just my opinion and yes very bitter.

I the dissenter here, I do not approve of what this woman did. However, it is usually men who are the perpetrators, though my main one was the mother. I watched a man who admitted to sexual abuse of his three daughters from birth to 18 get a stupid 18 months in jail and I do not see him as a published sex offender. It seems that he got out and was able to find a tiny woman with MS to control. Meanwhile his girls are all in their 20's now and have to live with the emotional and physical damage done to them by this powerless little toad who needed to find power by doing things I can't say outloud to his female children.

...because vengence will be mine thus saith the Lord.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a red lipstick blond princess in contrast with the stereotyped scroungy male on the Sexual Offenders Registry will preach volumes for years to come regarding rape and sexual molestation being the genderless crime it actually is.
The anti-discrimination byproduct of this case, is the most landmark since Brown vs Topeka Board of Edu., and for the first time ever, there is now difinitive evidence to point at that will blow holes all through the Oprah Winfrey feminist position that 'poor single mothers' are the only victims and can not be rapist.
Just fyi Skylrk; this debutant' was ordered by the judge in this case to serve no less that 7 of the 9 months she 'first offense' plea bargained, in county jail to keep her from serving up to 27 years in the State Penetentiary for R-A-P-E ! Not just some misdomeaner misconduct rap. And, she can not sell any media rights about this story for the 5 years she is on probation following jail, and then all movie and print royalties must be given to her victim as restitution.
Tit for Tat sentencing, but for the first time I have ever seen in my close to 50 years is the fact that a female has been found guilty of seducing and raping a male.
And that is groundbreaking victory for exposing sexual abuse of all forms as the genderless crime it has always been.
Thank you for the bandwidth; Tom S. in Tn.

Major Victory for Survivors and that's probably because abuse is the result of boundaries being broken or crossed.

sigh. i agree that this is a small step in the right direction. i do not think it is nearly enough. but perhaps it will aid in taking the lid off the silence surrounding abuse and its victims.
