Revealed to Be Spouse of Deputy at DoD

Is that supposed to be politically significant in some way?

Shocked he wasn’t found in the backseat sobbing and wearing a Slava Ukraine shirt.

I’ve heard of military wives using their husband’s position to try and bully other people but this may be a new one.

Ehhh, not exactly what I was expecting or the usual O-T scale from a "student -bones-teacuer" story, but I can definitely say if I were a high schooler and had the opportunity, she'd definitely get it.

Assuming that the felony charges filed include prison time, does anybody else have a problem with this women going to prison for this?

At 17 years of age it would not have damaged my psyche one bit to have been this woman's sexual partner, assuming I engaged voluntarily and without coercion of any kind.

I'm not saying it's behavior to encourage or condone. I get that if it's a teacher-student thing that a power differential has been exploited. Someone should be fired, of course, in that situation.

But prison?

What exactly is the damage that she's being punished for?

A lot of states, including Mississippi, have rules which are different for individuals who are considered to have power / influence over a young person they have sex with.

Let’s think this through, by your logic you would be fine if it was your 17 year daughter and her 45 year old male teacher

That would only necessarily follow if my logic also assumed that males and females were exactly the same with respect to sexual relationships. I don't assume that. For one major thing, the 17 year old female can get pregnant. The 17 year old male can't. The 45 year old female can get pregnant, but that wouldn't derail her life to any degree that would look anything like the 17 year old female getting pregnant.

Also, paste where I said it was "fine." I also never said that. I said the opposite, in fact.

All I'm asking is whether that situation (not some other situation that you think is analogous) rises to the level of imprisonment.

EDIT: Let me give you a hint. Embedded in my logic is the assumption that 17 year old males and females need to be regarded differently with respect to this scenario.

I understand that that isn't feasible legally. I understand what the law says. All I'm pondering is whether it really morally makes sense to put this woman in prison for doing something that almost certainly made that kid's year rather than hurt him in some way.

You sticking with that assessment?
