Not only is it rape, but the perpetrator is someone who is meant to be trustworthy and is in a position of power. They should "know better" even more than your normal sicko rapist.

There is a big difference between forced, kicking and screaming rape, and statutory rape. A big difference. Despite the fact that it doesn't matter to the law if the minor consented, i guarantee that it does matter to the minor. Anyways, none of us are in a position to know whether it was consensual or not, so making assumptions either way is a little premature. Maybe i spoke too soon. Even if it were straight up forced sexual assault, it is still a little presumptuous to claim that the victim will be "fucked up forever".

In fact, i would like to ask you if you personally know anyone involved. Do you know this girl, or her teacher? Do you know the extent of either party's emotional intelligence? Do you know anything about this situation besides what it written in this article? No? I don't either. It is a little too early to pull the "oh that poor girl is going to be fucked up for life" card. If she's like most people i know, she's probably embarrased as fuck that she broke into international fame under these circumstances, and she no doubt doesn't need or want any of our pity.

There are public sex scandals involving children where the child is indeed emotionally wounded and those wounds go unhealed. Sometimes the child is wounded to the extent that they turn around and commit the same crime that they themselves fell victim to. The ironic thing is that the people bending over backwards to express their dismay at how emotionally fucked the victim is going to be are often the very same people who want to lynch the victim when he/she becomes a grown up sex offender. How funny is that?
