It’s what gets the clicks. A good portion of the population probably have headmistress fantasies and, while tutting this vile behavior, are like ‘Damn, where was she when I was 15?’

I think that part of this narrative gets fucked because there is a fairly large segment of reporters that fantasized about getting with their cute youngish teacher back when they were in school.

This is not to say that this is ok. It isn’t. This is SA, CSA, really. And even if the teacher were teaching/seducing 18 year olds on a college campus it would still be a gross misuse of power.
