It seems there's not much evidence at all for anything sexual happening before she was 18. And, unless she decides to testify, I don't think they can do much.


And, as for biccat. I agree, it seems that people are leaping to the "he's a pedophile, get him" rather quickly. But, the school had every right to terminate him. Having a romantic relationship with a student (even if they are of-age) could be against their rules. Hell, plenty of colleges have that rule and will fire professors for sleeping with grad students.

It's no different than you sleeping with one of your clients. You'd be disbarred (or, at least face disciplinary hearings).

Yes, I think most schools don't allow it. Unprofessional conduct, I think, though I can't remember the precise phrasing.

I had a neighbor that was married to someone 18 years younger than himself. The relationship started when she was just barely legal.
She was the one that worked and supported the family while he sat on his ass talking about how good he was and how no one would hire him because they were afraid of losing their job to him.
The woman was 8 months pregnent and doing a 45 minute commute to work because this leach couldn't be bothered to work.

I'd have to look into that*, I think at least one of the states I'm admitted in lets me sleep with a client. Of course, I'd get disbarred from the others, and then disbarred in the permitting state for violating other states' rules. I probably would be OK with the PTO. They're pretty lenient as far as disciplinary actions go.

The school probably could have properly suspended him, but he gave up any right to fight the issue when he resigned. Teachers unions exist to keep guys like this in the classroom until there's been a final determination one way or the other.

* well, I would if I cared.

You can continue a sexual relationship with a client if the relationship pre-dated him or her becoming a client. But, you cannot start a sexual relationship with a pre-existing client.

So? Another unfortunate tale, but a few people here are labeling this guy as a Pedophile before we have any information that points to that other than "they met when she was a freshman".

Professional misconduct is obvious, he was suspended after all. Was he in any wrong beyond that? We don't know. Stop jumping to scapegoat people.

Oh, I think it's fairly clear that something inappropriate and maybe illegal was going on. But, they're going to need an actual witness who saw them (and not just kissing) to make a criminal case. Otherwise, both will just deny they had sex, and no judge is going to ever let a "gut-feeling" even get to a trial.

And, I don't see how the students suing has anything to do with anything. Sure, they might be able to make a case. But, that doesn't result in any charges.

Strangely enough, I am willing to suspend my belief in innocent until proven guilty in this case. That of course doesn't count all the lives he just destroyed.

Its a type of harassment claim. Instead of the usual "harmful environment" its almost reverse discrimination, a lack of preferential treatment as it were.

Individual states have their own ethical rules, the MPRE tests you on the model rules set forth by the ABA. So there may be some differences between ABA rules and certain state rules.

I don't have any clients that I'd want to have a sexual relationship with, so it's really not something I'm interested in.

Just the same type of scumbag as the teacher I saw mess up my friends life. The only real difference is that at least he waited until his wife turned 18 before going after her.

I don't see the problemo, broseidons.

No evidence of any contact before she was of-age.

The man is a loser, but nothing wrong with what he did legally.

Girl (now a Woman) has a right to do whatever she wants. She was clearly treated like an precious animal on a leash, and she wants some freedom.

I blame the parents more than the old man - though I do wonder how he will generate income now?

I know Britain has a better legal system than the US, but even here thats a felony. In the UK they probably feed them to the haggis monster or something.

In the UK the age of consent is 16. As far as I can tell he wasn't attracted to her before she reached "maturity" so playing the peadophile card seems uncalled for.

He met her as a Freshman. Unless she was held back a few years she would have been substantially below that.


I met almost all of my teachers as a freshman.

I see nothing wrong with this in the least. He is not a pedophile and she is of age. Parents may start up a storm over this but I see nothing wrong with what he did. People leave their wives and children all the time and no one makes a fuss. But on Dakka I guess you get burned at the stake for leaving your wife for a woman you met at work.

Do you find generalizing groups of people based on personal experiences a fun activity?

The girl is 18, legally an adult. They were photographed together looking fairly happy. The mother has already admitted she kept her daughter wrapped in cotton wool. No evidence has yet been revealed to suggest anything abnormal other than their ages.

Really, I see no reason to vindicate this guy because people are afraid of thinking outwith the stereotype.

Admittedly I'm an 18 year old with no children that I know of (there may be some out there though) but I agree that people are jumping to conclusions here, yes he is probably creepy and a bit of a loser but calling him a paedophile is a bit OTT.

And I'm pretty sure biccat is at least over 30 and has kids, YMMV.
