	cheddah sent in this AP article, which as the title states is about a woman who received 45 days in prison and must stop teaching for having sexual contact with two 17 year-old male students of hers. The teacher's lawyer was quoted as saying "[his client] was worried about being treated fairly by the courts because of her gender and the publicity surrounding the charges, but was satisfied with the outcome."

Worried about being treated fairly?!? (Score:1) by BusterB on Sunday July 15, @07:24PM EST (#1) (User #94 Info) http://themenscenter.com/busterb/ She was worried about being treated fairly because she was a woman? Hello? After Mary Kay LeTourneau and the other one in California? After all of the jokes by Jay Leno about the kid (who was raped, after all) wanting to "see other teachers"? Most cases involving female teachers having sex with male students are played out as "love" or "inappropriate attractions" or "mental illness", while cases involving male teachers having sex with female students are very simply "rape". And this woman was worried about being treated fairly...? Or, perhaps, she was worried about being treated fairly, and is now relieved, because she wasn't?
