According to the Sulphur Daily News, Heather Daughdrill initiated the relationship in June and it continued until a complaint was filed in October. After her arrest on November 29, police told the paper that Daughdrill would pick her victim up from school without his parents' knowledge and subject him to sexual encounters. Louisiana cops also reportedly found sexually explicit texts between Daughdrill and her victim.

Of course I would have to consult the young lady in private before the sentencing to see if maybe she could convince me to bring the sentence down a bit.

If I were the judge I would give her one year in jail and 4 years probation and sex counseling sessions.
Counseling makes sense. Probably more like like 2 years, suspended sentence, so the time never gets served if she doesn't screw up again.
I'm not a criminal lawyer, but I'm a big fan of suspended sentences. It's like a huge sword hanging over their head. If they don't screw up in the next X years, then it goes away. If they screw up again, then the suspended sentence IMMEDIATELY kicks in, AND they need to deal with the new screw up on top of it. [Reply]
My guess is that if these were male teachers and 12 or 16 year old girls, the masses would be all for a public hanging of the male teachers in the town square. Just because they're teenage boys doesn't mean we should look at it through a softer lens. [Reply]

Of course it does. That's just the way society is now a days.
How much porn is there on the web about 16-17yr old males having sex w/ their hot teacher, step-mom, or the neighborhood friendly milf?
Reverse that gender role and the authorities will come knocking on your doorstep or Chris Hanson shows up out of nowhere like the ninja he is, to sit you down for a nice little chit chat. [Reply]

Maybe...just maybe...there is a difference between 12 year old girls and 18 year old men. [Reply]

I would honestly have the same opinion if the girls were of legal age in that state. Legal age means having the capacity, under the law, to engage in consensual sex. The punishment for that should be firing, and possible prohibition from future teaching positions, NOT jail.
The only other problem I have with statutory rape laws it that sometimes the "bright line" of the age of consent is a problem. If, hypothetically, the age of consent was 18, then an 18 year old boy getting busy with a 17 year old girl would face the exact same legal risks as a 45 year old boy getting it on with a 14 year old girl. Obviously, in sentencing that would be factored in, but the law was the same. At least some states modified their laws to have it reflect reality -- if the age of the two parties was closer, then it was no crime or a lesser crime. I don't know how many states adopted those types of provisions.
IMHO, however, having serious criminal liability for TEACHERS having sex with CONSENTING adults, because they are students, makes no sense. [Reply]

Where were these thots when I was in Middle school?
Seriously, the only thing I would like to know is about the emotional state of the "Victims"
Molestors a lot of the time will frame their encounters as a game, or make their victims feel if the don't comply that they will get in trouble somehow.
Were these women (two stories were posted, right?) turned out at any point and continued to pursue? Did they mislead these kids? Did the threaten them?
Every kid is different. A sexual encounter with an older woman could be:
A. The all-time greatest thing that has ever happened to him.
B. A very uncomfortable situation that he may not be ready for.
Both things are possible. It's tough because we never get to see the boys. They just hide them from everybody. They're minors, so I get it. It's just tough to evaluate why this keeps happening. There's got to be foul play somewhere......
