Story here. Excerpt:
'A female teacher at Corona's Centennial High School is facing charges of having sex with five teenage boys over the last year.
Summer Michelle Hansen, 31, a special-education teacher, was charged Tuesday with 16 felony counts involving sex acts with five boys under the age of 18, none of whom were students she taught.
Riverside prosecutors allege that from May 2012 to May 2013, Hansen committed sexual acts with the boys — who were as young as 16 — in her classroom, in a campus utility room, in her vehicle parked near a boy's home and at the home of another teen.
...
Parents and friends have rallied around Hansen, who has taught at Centennial for nearly five years, and questioned the motives of the accusers.'

rape
You know, I got to thinking...
When society excuses women who have sex with boys, it says "boys will be boys."
OK then, why can't we excuse men who rape by saying "boys will be boys."
Now, sarcasm aside (I do not think we should excuse rape), if we want to train boys to respect women, should we not train women to respect the boys?
By properly punishing women who do this, we indirectly send a positive signal to boys: "do not do things like this. These things are not good when you do them or when others do it to you."
And that is beneficial to all society: training boys to be good men.
So I find it odd when judges excuse women who do this and then turn around an punish the boys when they grow up to be rapists.
(In other words: can you imagine being in a courtroom when a judge lets a woman off the hook like this.... and telling the judge: "when these boys become rapists, will you let THEM off the hook, too?")
