re: Florida - Father caught Broward high school coach sexual assaulting his daughter WWYD?

He's a huge scumbag for sure and should face the legal consequences for it.

quote:

---

Sierra sexually abused her about 15 times during the school break, and continued to sexually abuse her 8 more times in the months that followed, per the report.

---

But come on, she's 17 years old, she was clearly very enthusiastic about the entire situation. Unless he was grooming her for years and years she just seems like a ho.

Why can't they just say molested?

Probably b/c the 17 year old was a willing participant.

That and probably in some states due to the age of consent. In some states it is 17 or 16, but Florida is 18.

In those states where the age of consent is 17, unless it was rape, the only crime they could charge would be the law that forbids sexual contact between an educator and student.

That usually results in a serious enough of a charge to lose their teaching credentials and black list them from the education system.

Most would probably avoid jail time since that is a misdemeanor in some jurisdictions instead of a felony.

Also, with second chance laws, some can petition the court to get the charge expunged after a few years. Once the charge is expunged, some may even petition the state teacher licensing board to return to education.

A school district would be stupid to hire them or put them with younger students. The other aspect is whether it is a male teacher or a female teacher. A female teacher could receive a lighter punishment than a male teacher in similar circumstances.

It is open, but I'm not seeing any comments posted yet.

Compare this to the threads when a woman teacher is accused of statutory rape against a boy.

There is a double standard. No one will deny it. Why do people continue to feel the need to point it out?

He’s over 23 and she is under 18. She cannot consent. That makes it assault.

Just looked it up and age of consent in Florida is 18. So this all legally is true. What many people don't realize is that more states set age of consent at 16 or 17 than states that have it at 18. What most of these teachers are getting in trouble for is the fact that they are in a position of influence/power over the student. The actual age for Louisiana for instance is 17. So if he was just some guy, this is completely legal. Definitely not right, but I think it's strange that everyone just assumes it 18 as the cutoff, when more times than not, it's lower.

17 is legal consent in Fla right? This is only an issue bc he is a authority figure at her school I think....in other words nothing would've happened if he worked at a different school.

How is it “sexual abuse” when the 17yo girl willingly did it?

---

There are teacher/student laws.

quote:

---

In Florida, under Section 800.101 of the Florida Statutes, an "authority figure" (defined as someone 18 or older employed by, volunteering at, or under contract with a school) cannot solicit or engage in sexual conduct, a relationship of a romantic nature, or lewd conduct with a student, making it a second-degree felony.

Also, the girl could have still been 16 when all of this started.

He looks like total trash. What school system would hire someone like that?

What kind of father raises a kid who fricks older guys in a van?

Lots of blame to go around here, but I’m not sure that the father should be included. These teen girls have, for the most part, no sexual inhibitions, and for the dude, well, never known his type to cull a piece of arse.
