My first thought when I read the article was "she looks familiar"- then I realized that she lives in my region of Florida, and looks like most of the sullen & pregnant 6th-grade dropouts I encounter in my practice. So if y'all think that's hot, come on down here. Just don't be surprised if your new girlfriend is missing significant numbers of teeth and has her first three children's names tattooed on her legs.
That sounds like Charlize Theron's character in
Monster.
Listen, I'm not saying that she's drop dead gorgeous or anything. I'm just saying that she
is an attractive woman, and doesn't look at all like the wierdo women you usually see arrested for having sex with minors.
I must admit that I too fall into the category of thinking that this is "not as bad" as a male teacher having sex with an underage girl. I know that's a very inconsistent way to think. Maybe it's just because I used to be a 14 year old boy, so I know that for someone in his shoes, having sex with your hot 23 year old teacher is like winning the Powerball - something most only dream of. In reality, though, I do realize that this will probably have confusing and/or damaging psychological effects on the boy. But I don't know whether to feel sorry for him or give him a hi five.
