News Station Identifies & Includes Photograph Of Juvenile Male Rape Victim

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2006-08-09 17:54

A 19 year old teacher's aide ran off with a 14 year old student at the school where she taught. She is being arraigned on charges of interference with custody, but nothing else. They quote the police claiming the two had a "romantic relationship". They identify the boy, and include a picture of him with the teacher's aide. The age of consent in New Hampshire is 16. Even if the woman isn't charged with rape, it is ridiculous to post a 14 year old boy's picture and name on the internet in a case like this.

To Whom it may concern,

I just finished watching a report done by WCAX regarding a 19 year-old female teacher's aid having a "romantic relationship" with a 14 year-old boy. Why on earth would you include the name and photograph of a minor child who is the victim of a sexual assault. I was under the impression that the age of consent in this state is 16 years-old. That makes the boy in question a minor and a victim of this woman's advances. Do you honestly believe that a 14 year-old child is mature enough to carry on a "romantic relationship" with their 19 year-old teacher's aid; the teacher's aid is in a position of power over this minor child? I an disgusted at your lack of journalistic responsibility. Would you have provided the name and picture of a 14 year-old girl if the sexes were reversed in this case? I doubt it. You have lost a viewer.
