3. 16 year olds may not understand how abusive this was… doesn't make it any less ABUSIVE.

There is so much wrong with your post I just don't know where to start.

7. If a 16 year old girl

enjoyed her sexual encounters immensely with a 32 and a 24 year old male teacher would you have a different point of view?

8. You know how many 16 year olds get pregnant?

The point is some teens will enjoy sex.

[Jenoch]

9. That does not make it ok for teachers

to screw students of either gender.

2. How about changing your title to match the title of the article.

I'm not disputing it was rape - but "brutally raping . . . for hours" has the connotation of physical force and violence, rather than the scenario here which was emotionally coercive because of the age and power differential.

6. All rape is violent.

End of story.

[Ms. Toad]

10. The first definition of brutal I pulled up is "savagely violent"

that is not what was described in the article, and that is not how the article was titled.

The title is not accurate - and should be changed.

16. I agree, Ms. Toad, the title is misleading and it diminishes what

"brutal rape" is.

4. Please consider changing the thread title "brutally" is a misleading word and will play into

those who are going to want to minimize this

5. Wrong yes, but brutal? What did he do, go brag to his buddies about being tortured in their

dungeon? He held out for as long as he could and finally gave in and had sex with them? I kind of doubt that.

It might have been a lot of things but to a 16 year old, I'd wager he didn't suffer much.

11. Please change your title.

I know you know this, and probably won't do it, but "brutally" and "for hours" clearly imply physical force. This was absolutely wrong, was rape, but it does not sound like physical force or violence were involved. You minimize what happened when you play those kinds of games. What happened was bad enough on its own terms.

12. Please change the title

Especially since you took liberties to change the title from the original source and their is no evidence that he was brutalized especially from his comments to his buddies. If you want to discuss the story and not just the title like so far. Please change the title.

13. That's not the headline

Two High School Teachers Arrested Over Threesome With Student

[951-Riverside]

14. It's not a "threesome", its child rape n/t

[zappaman]

15. You changed the headline.

Why?

[TDale313]

18. Take out the "brutally" and "for hours"

From your title, and you would have found much support. I agree with you taking issue with this being described as a threesome. It *is* rape. But I am sure you know that "brutally" here clearly implies physical force and violence which were not part of this story from the sound of it. You're being misleading in your attempt to make some point (one I am not even 100% sure what it is) Are you trying to claim "no one cares when boys are raped?" (Not true) or that statutory rape is not "really" rape? (Also not true, and seriously offensive)

19. A 16 year old teenage boy is not a child.

Old enough to get married in many states. This was not a "brutal rape".

[uppityperson]

17. It is rape, but statutory, not Brutally. No need to exagerate as it is bad enough but shame on that

headline writer as it WAS stat. rape, not a "threesome". And shame on those teachers.
