Straight Male / 32
I am confused and need, could use some professional help. This is not about me but a high school teacher, baseball coach, and a 17 year old female student.
A short while ago, about 1 week, our news including TV and the daily newspaper described this coach/teacher as resigning because of sex with the 17 year old and the school learning about it. It sound like this may have been going on awhile before coming to light.
Now, my problem which I need help on is: In my state, 17 is a legal age for consent, even sexual. Therefore, if this has been going on for a while with no complaint from the 17 year old as the news states, the affair has to have been consentaneous to have been going on for sometime, I think. In this case with no complaint from the 17 year old, how can the school and/or the county law enforcement, complain against the teacher? I think some illegal action is going on, not between the teacher and the 17 year old girl but with those trying to press charges. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
