Missing girl 15, runs off with Maths teacher.

I'm pretty sure I haven't said anything about physical maturity. Perhaps you're thinking of someone else's post there?

Are you saying then that you think that this guy should go to prison or just lose his job?

I acknowledge that there are laws in place, and I am aware of these. I have already stated that I think he has done something wrong here and he should lose his job, but I certainly don't think he should go to prison or anything that drastic assuming this is all consensual.

I'm also saying that there is the possibility that the relationship is sound and could continue happily and healthily for many years.

Must have got you mixed up with someone else who was stating in terms of the physical.

I think based upon what we know - I would think for breach of trust when holding a position of power (which is therefore weighted differently) and for holding the relationship for that length of time he has done enough to lose his job, lose his professional status, and warrant being entered onto the sex offenders register (there needs to be a mechanism to ensure he never holds such a position again). As for prison - well it would hardly seem to serve a purpose really - punishment is not what is needed in this case, rehabilitation is - the chap needs to learn to differentiate between urges and acting on those urges. So some mandate towards that then yes.

I am not saying he is a monster, but most sex offenders are not are they - the fear of the unknown predator is a common fallacy, the reality is confused, unhappy, unwell individuals who by their condition and circumstance find themselves acting in these situations. As a society we have a responsibility to remove the circumstance part of the equation.

Society largely works on trust - with extended trust comes greater responsibility and greater consequence when that trust is broken. If you are unwilling to accept the greater responsibility then you do not need to take it, if it becomes apparent as time goes on then there are mechanisms in place to help with that. Are they suitable and non-judgmental enough - I severely doubt it.

Is that because of his job, or is that to do with his age?

If it's his age, at what age do you draw the line where it's acceptable to have sex with a 15 year old girl? 16? 18? 21? 25?

If it's his job, would you be saying the same thing if it was just a random 30 year old bloke?

It's a combination of both. As for your first question, it's not acceptable to sleep with anyone who is 15, that's stat rape.
 
I'm finding this case very intriguing. Had it been a female teacher with a male student of age 15, would it be viewed differently in people's eyes?

Everyone seems to be concerned for the welfare of this girl, which I am concerned about to. She's probably been painted a picture by the teacher and is deeply in love with him. Why people do this, I'll never understand.

I can't really add more to my post as there are so many thoughts of bad scenarios that could possibly happen.

I just hope she is reunited with her family safe and sound.

Agreed totally.

Plus this guy has given up his house, his job, his career and what looks like a very beautiful new wife. What for, a 15 year old?

Fresh poontang was obviously too much to resist. Maybe his wife's lady bits looked like saddlebags hanging out of a bucket.
 
I hate to admit this to myself but i am not too worried by this case. I get the feeling this is purely consensual love on both sides. He will go to prison which is a shame and it will probably be for ~2years served. There have to be rules but when its consensual the law becomes an ass, but without the law then predators will move in to teaching asap.

How can it be consensual with a minor? They're not old enough to make adult decisions like that, they're very impressionable.

Legally no, but I knew/know plenty of people at age 15 who were fully capable of making their own decisions as to who to sleep/not sleep with.
