That was my first thought....There are a number of female teachers that have been convicted, but I don't recall a penalty nearly that severe.

Anyone seen Breakfast at Tiffanys?

I only bring it up because we watched it last weekend with my two teenage daughters and they were a little creeped out when Mom and I were explaining how girls as young as 14 used to marry much older adult men with parent approval and the sexual life styles even in the olden days of the 50's/60's

I'm not advocating it, but that was the social norm for the entire recorded history until very recently. Young men were supposed to go out and learn how to be men, while girls at 15 were put on the marriage mart to hook up with men in their 20s or 30s (or older). It's weird, but it actually seems the more natural course because girls mature faster than boys and the window of when they can procreate is smaller.
