omit the 'seduce' if it works better for you and answer this do you think it's appropriate for a 33 year old teacher to have sex with a 12 year old student? Unless there are extraordinary circumstances, no. (See my post to Bill on that.) Were there extraordinary circumstances in this case? Not that I know of. But does that mean I think it should be a criminal act? Not necessarily. There are many things I think are wrong that aren't criminal. Let's put the question the other way. Do you believe that every 12 year old should be prohibited at the point of a gun (which is in the end the ultimate power of law) from having sex with a 33 year old teacher no matter how much he may desire it, and even if he is emotionally and intellectually able to make that decision for himself?
