The teacher was found guilty of having sex with one of her students, who was 16 at the time.
She is serving a "sentence" of 180 days.
The teacher is now suing the student she had sex with because the student defamed her "to various classmates, family and other members".
The suit's purpose is to financially protect her from the charges related to the case.
She, along with the school district that employed her, is currently being sued herself by the family of the student.
To be honest, I have to wonder what the sentence would be if the teacher were male and the student were female.
But...there ya go.

Any teacher who has sex with their student is a horrible person. It's a gross abuse of power and it disregards their education and health.
Aschoon96
My male teacher had sec with a 16 yo girl and didn't do any jail time. Just got his license taken and had to register as an offender
13thDukeofWybourne
He "defamed" her with "statements"? They went easy on the details there.
Traja01
It'd be nice to know more. But that's not how imgur operates when it comes to most things.
TheRightonRed
She's lucky she only got 180 day, So arrogant to sue on top of this.
Noodlesama
It's only defamation if it's not true, she's been convicted so it's clear that it was true
Traja01
We don't know what statements she's suing him for. Probably something else besides "I had sex with teacher."

Thanks for that post. Rather informative.

Where within that article did you see the countering of a double-standard?

Did you read it? Executive summary: when you compare apples with apples, men and women get the same sentences.

Same thing in custody situations. The MRA types are delusional.
SteveMND
"Statements made by the young man hurt her reputation and her career." I don't suppose having SEX with a MINOR is more to blame for that..?
Traja01
That's an argument to mitigate damages. Doesn't tell us much about the defamation claim.

If it was all unsubstantiated lies, sure, defamation— open and shut. I hate lawyers that push shit like this forward.

Yes, her lawyer's got some explaining to do.
SuperbBackhand
A lawyer has no explaining to do, it is the lawyers job to protect their client. She however, is a piece of shit if everything is true.
DavidBrooker
I wonder her angle on this. Like, is she going to go for specific sex acts that he bragged about that didn't happen? How's there a case?
PirateRubberDuck
Did she really think he wouldn't brag to mates? Teenage boys are not known for their ability to keep a secret.

In a majority of states in the US, rapists can get custody of their victims child if conceived during the rape. Shits fucked.

Well that's because the body has ways to shut down legitimate rape. /s

Double Standard I know but all I ever wanted when I was 16 was to bang my teacher...
QueenOfTheInvisablePinkSquirells
I had a French teacher fresh out of college. Barely 4 years older. Best believe I would have if I could have.

snarkmeister
Yes, it was him telling peers about having sex with you that ruined your career, not that you actually had sex with an underage student...
Dickwasher
You all act like 16 is adult and can drive a car and can end up in prison when is a dick but nooooh when it`s sex. Really
Dickwasher
Now decide whether he is an adult or a child, you expect the 16-year-old to behave like an adult but noh... lost faith well just for usa

Age of consent in California is 18. No idea why anyone thinks it's 16.
waitwuh
Some states have "romeo and juliet" laws that may allow a 16 year old to have sex with someone who is like 18. Probably still wouldn't apply
hild
Pretty sure California has that, but it definitely wouldn't apply here. Age difference is too large, and she's in a role of authority.
DavidBrooker
Fun fact: it is not legally possible to defame someone by telling the truth.
IamJustinSane
Yet you'd be crucified for calling a fat person fat.
Traja01
Which is why I'm wondering if the claims are based on other statements that we don't know about here.
KnotJosh
Fun fact: you can spend the rest of your life without taking a breath.
SneakEFoxxe
Maybe he said she had an ugly vagina
Beepity
Luckily, opinions aren't subject to libel laws. I think. IANAL. (However: If I said the teacher does, too, and she doesn't, THAT is libel)
TheSafety
But maybe thats the truth
ohmegatron
He would know.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
Unless you can't provide evidence that what you said was true. A guilty sentence counts as evidence, though.
Traja01
And the guilty verdict is probably irrelevant to whatever comments she's suing him for.
Traja01
Yea as the Plaintiff it's on her to prove her claims, not on the defendant to disprove them.
caralily
In the US, they have to prove that what you said was false and usually that you knew what you said was false.
kingofusersub
Serious question in what case can defamation even be proved
Traja01
Plenty of cases, what do you mean?
kingofusersub
I dont know i just always thought of it has he said she said
Traja01
You see it in the business context a lot. So usually a written publication, or a customer can testify that the defendant said "blah."
Traja01
It's not defamation if it's a private comment. Has to be public, so there will always be witnesses/documents.
SomeCrazyNerd
On the low sentence, the student may have testified that they wanted to. Remember, minors aren't allowed to have sex with adults willingly
thatgotoutofhand
This can depend where you live. My country age of consent is 16, but there's separate laws that criminialize it when one party is in a
thatgotoutofhand
position of authority over the other, like teachers.
SomeCrazyNerd
Age of consent at 16 or Romeo and Juliet laws at 16? But yeah.
thatgotoutofhand
Those exist too, but apply if the person is 14 and 15 (5 year difference). No one under 14 can consent. 16 is general age of consent.
Pullout69
Yeah let's see what sentence male 36 year old would get for fucking a 16 year old girl.
SomeCrazyNerd
You're not comparing this case where you don't know if the student was willing with full on confirmed rape are you? Or molestation?
Pullout69
Your psychological projection is showing.
SomeCrazyNerd
My point is unless you've actually accounted for that it's easy fake outrage. And fake outrage is depressingly common.

My step dad had sex with a 17 year old girl at around that age. 5 years in prison, still on probation.
Pullout69
And depending on the state that nay still have been the legal age of consent.

He said 36, not 30! /s
nickg131
So....16x what she got.
MittenMagick
I see nothing in her case about registering as a sex offender.
nickg131
Right, so the guy gets 4 years parole and sex offender...she gets 180 days served, MAYBE. We'll see if she even serves the whole thing.Fair?
storebrandproductmascot
She got half a year in jail. He got no jail time.
nickg131
And he has a lifetime on the sex offender list, she doesn't. He has 4 years probation, she doesn't. All unequal. They both should be in
nickg131
2. prison and on the sex offender registry.
nickg131
Half a year in jail that may or may not be served, vs 4 years probation and a lifetime on a sex offender registry. Which hurts more?
storebrandproductmascot
She's literally in jail right now. It says that in the OP. And she also got 4 years probation, which is also in the OP. Are you blind?
Rehoy
I love the wording, Since it's a female, its magically not pedophilia and statutory rape.
VeganTrap
Men's rights activists (MRAs) are those who spread this message, among others.
Patches3000
I know in some states (Michigan) 16 is the age of consent so long as you're not an authority figure. Some states may lack the latter clause.
wandergirl
I'm a female teacher. This is absolutely statutory rape, and she needs major jail time.
drchilts
All rape is statutory
MinorityOpinion
But not all rape is only statutory.
RichterCa
"Pedophilia" is not illegal, as it's just being attracted to children. Actually having sex with a child is "statutory rape" which is illegal
RichterCa
So pedophilia is super creepy, and morally horrible, but if you never act on it, it's not illegal.
FirstThingThatCameToMind
cant arrest someone for their opinion.
DrIcchan
Unless you're in China!
IamJustinSane
People having sex with 16 year olds isn't pedophilia. It's the normal age of consent almost everywhere on earth; but not California.
Tyrannotron
It's not pedophilia because the victim was 16.
storebrandproductmascot
It's phrased as "sex with student" in countless news articles about male teachers doing the same thing. Go ahead, look it up.

You know who is the only person who cares about that kind of semantic distinction? Pedophiles.

You're not a pedophile. Knowledge is power and learning is never bad. Don't be a fucktard.
Tokipudi
Isn't Ephebophilia a sub category of pedophilia ?
Pullout69
No, those two (and others) denote specific age ranges.

No. Both pedophilia and ephebophilia are subcategories of chronophilia.

Legal age of consent doesn't really matter if one of the people involved is over 18.
