Debra LaFave

So I saw a few clips of the Dateline interview and my first thought was, "Wow, she is so hot!!!" I mean, she is absolutely gorgeous. Just amazing.

Then I thought, "Stupid 14 year old kid should've kept in on the down low! What an idiot!!" Also, I would've be very pissed off at the cousin who told the authorities on them. LOL

I showed my guy friends this video and they all said the same thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPtt-Ko8SQg...ted&search=

Having sex with a very hot teacher is like a fantasy that most guys dream of.

If I had a hot teacher like Debra, I tell you, I wouldn't have missed a class and I would've sat in the front row! LOL

Here's a few clips of the Dateline interview:

Here's her press conference from March:

I was watching Glenn Beck (whom I LOATHE) but I agreed with him on this case:

What she did is a crime. If a hot 24 yr old male teacher had slept with a 14 yr old girl he would've been blasted and gotten a huge sentence. It's a two way street.

Yes, she's hot. Yes, the student enjoyed it, but it isn't right.

I feel kinda sorry for her. She'll never be able to teach or live near a school. She's working as a waitress to make ends meet.

I have no sympathy for her at all. She knew that sleeping with her student was wrong, and I don't care if this kid wanted it or not. She took advantage of a 14 year-old boy, and I bet if she was teaching again, she'd do the same thing. When male teachers do this crap, they get treated like the scum of the earth. If it was a fat, ugly teacher, so would she. Just because she's blonde and pretty doesn't make it okay.

[KLN]

The 14 year old kid might've wanted it, but that doesn't mean she had to give it to him. When you're 14, you want ALOT of unhealthy things. Fact is, when you're that young, you don't have the mature judgement to really know what you want, healthily. And for someone to take advantage of that weakness is wrong. She was the adult, so she should've been the one to stop what was going on and tell him that for HIS OWN SAKE, they weren't going to continue what they were doing, because it could ruin his whole future. She, as the adult, should've been mature enough to do that. Hot or not, there are more important things to life than busting a nut... like making sure that you don't turn a 14 year old boy into a father.

[Toups]

Oh yeah, it's a double standard. If it was a male teacher or if the male student was younger (say 12 and under), the public would be more outraged, IMO.

Of course she was wrong to take advantage of him, but I bet all of his friends, except his cousin, were giving him props for tapping that.

[Toadstool]

Not all that long ago 14 year old females were considered marriage material

[darraholic]

She's very hot but yeah what she did was wrong. I had 2 or 3 teachers that I would totally shag.

[Bree]

Yep, and it was common for teenagers of that age to get married back then, mainly because the life expectancies weren't as long as they are now, and it was just the thing to do. But times have changed, and for the most part, that stuff is frowned upon.

[Toadstool]

Definitely and for the better. But we're bound to have double-standards and other collateral effects after changing thousands of years of tradition in such a relatively short time.

[rxcats]

What if a 14 year old MALE student had sex with a "really hot" 24 year old MALE teacher.....but he really wanted it, would it be OK??? I am just wondering to what extent the double standard is acceptable to people.

[bellcurve]

Seeing how many still see same-sex relations as icky, hearing about a 14 year old teacher having sex with a male student is yucky territory. It would be the same as, if not worse, than a 14 year old female having sex with a male teacher.

[Cheap21]

it would definetly be looked on worse. In this society, he would be demonized and looked on as a sexual predater. Where as with this female teacher, most will probably equate her actions to her being sick or not in her right mental mind, his actions would most likely be viewed as criminal and perverted. It's a double standard but men in these situations always tend to come out looking worse. Women get some sympathy but men would never
