I was reading through the news stories this evening and one story caught my eye.  It comes out of the Fox Station in Tampa.  It seems a 29 year old female teacher has been having sexual relationships with some of her students.  So far it appears she has fooled around with 4 boys between 14 and 17.  The math tells me about half her age.  This took place over the last 2 months and they think that there are more.  Now this is the thing that really caught my eye.  As I read this story they described these acts in many ways, but never ever was the word raped used.  If that was a 29 year old man with a 14 year old female student the word rape surely would have been somewhere in there.  In a taped conversation she said  that what she was doing was illegal.  One boy even described several tatoos she had that only someone who knew her intimately would know.  Another boy compared it to the Debra Lafave story.   This teacher is in a lot of trouble and will probally face jail. (She is in jail now) I just find the choice of words used in the story to be less criminal and more bad girl.   I find a certain double standard  when it comes to male and female sexual predators.  Come to think of it, Fox should ripe off the show on MSNBC about male predators and stalk female predators...
