I am not trying to justify what this women did, but when I see in the news that priests have molested dozens of kids and just get shipped out of the hot zone I get a little pissed at the hipocracy.

I think the church still has a lot of power and influence, more than we know of.

Would a mere 13-year old boy be already biologically equipped to make a woman pregnant?...

This may not be related to that. The article you put up indicated that this happened at a Christian school, but it doesn't mention the denomination. The whole priest scandal is a Catholic thing (since Catholic priests are not allowed to marry).
But yes, there is a growing hypocrisy in the Christian church. My take is that it's the natural corruption that takes place in a heirarchy such as this. But that is just my opinion. Besides, to a religion that is lacking in priests, it is more important for them to cover up priests than a woman who can be fairly easily replaced.

Umm speaking only for myself, at 13 I would have done anything to find a teacher who would show me the ropes [img]smile.gif[/img] course I might just have been a big horndog at that age too. I guess molestation is a serious issue, but I usually only see it as such for girls. Ive never thought about boys.
I think it is wrong to treat the crimes differently for men and women though. That would be wrong and unfair. Is this a universal human thing or are the customs and laws of other cultures different. I know some middle eastern coutries permit men to take wives that are in their early teens. |

It seems to be very rare for boys to be molested by women though, but by men all too common...though of course there was a lot of boy-molesting in the Catholic church scandal. I can only really think of two instances of women molesting underage boys (this and M-K LeTourneau.)
