Summary
Laura Caron, a New Jersey elementary school teacher, faces multiple sexual assault charges for grooming and abusing a 13-year-old student.
The allegations claim Caron, who befriended the student’s mother, molested the boy from age 11 to 16, including conceiving and giving birth to his child in 2019.
The case came to light after the victim’s father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron’s son and his own.
Can we finally give up the whole “I wish I had a hot teacher who would have sex with me when I was his age” thing? Because I have heard some asshole say something like that every time a story like this comes out. Always with a female teacher and a male child, of course.
This is rape. Every single time.
To those downvoting, this entire South Park episode is very critical of people who claim it isn’t rape
South Park usually gets things right.
Usually is the key word. There are several episodes I have big issues with and they’ve even back-tracked on a few but I do like most of their takes on things
When they tackle big topics, they usually get it right. There have been a good number of poor taste jokes that haven’t aged well, but that is the nature of comedy.
This bitch is gross

Why on Earth do you think your mental health would have been better in that situation? You do understand that the women who do this are sexual predators, not romantic partners, right?
That’s exactly why they behave this way. Incel mindset
When it’s a minor, it’s called RAPE.
Fuck this cunt. bury her underneath the jail.

“Hi guys I’m totally not a pedofile I’m just asking questions”
You should just answer the questions.

Oh, ok. She must not have raped him otherwise the article would have said so, right?
Just a little molestation that resulted in a pregnancy. Not rape, though.
…is facing at least 10 years in prison if found guilty of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and second-degree endangerment to the welfare of a child…
Those are the legal terms for different kinds of rape.
Not using the word was a choice
Yes, a legal accuracy choice. “Rape” is a colloquial term, not commonly used in law any more. Most places name the crime “sexual assault”.
https://www.independent.co.uk/topic/rape
Why have this topic then?
Because that topic is the colloquial usage, not a specific instance of a legal charge.
This article is nowhere to be found under this topic though, I’ve scrolled for two minutes now.
Which implies that “aggravated sexual assault” does not fall under the term “rape” - at least in this case.
So you’re saying The Independent shouldn’t use it at all?
Rape is an actual crime in the UK, it’s not a crime by name in New Jersey. They’re being consistent with charges based on the jurisdiction.
Ahh c’mon, men can’t be raped by a woman. If they get hard they want it right? It’s just a little molestation. It’s gotta be in the ass to be rape—and even then, they wanted it.
/S /S
And this is why I’ve raised my children to never to unconditionally trust people in a position of power, including even family. We had “the talk” early, made it abundantly clear what kind of behavior from an adult is never okay, watch interactions they have with people like a hawk, and check-in enough to know they are safe.
We don’t have to live life afraid, but we mustn’t ignore that predators can be anywhere and look like anyone.
I feel so terrible for this child and his siblings. The problems in their lives didn’t begin with this rapist.
Life shouldn’t have to be this way. 😭
Why is the word “paedophile” not in that article? Can women not be nonces? I thought we had equality now.
Is that what that word means? I’ve heard British people use it in media and just thought it meant idiot or something 😂
Yep, toss that into an argument and you’d best be prepared to throw hands.
The case came to light after the victim’s father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron’s son and his own.
There must be some strong genes for the victim’s father to make that claim
Isn’t that how Arnold Schwarzenegger was caught out?
eta:
Just look at the traps on that kid
I suppose I just don’t get it. She seems to be good looking. She could easily have an adult male with the mentality of a teenager, we know there are plenty of them. All I can see is opportunity/ease of access. Even the power dynamic would be the same with plenty of adult guys desperate to get laid.
Because she’s a pedophile. I don’t really understand the confusion.
Why is the sky blue? Because it is blue, I don’t really understand the confusion.
Pedophile is a title defined by an action. It has no connection to why the action was chosen. A person screwing someone who they legitimately thought was 20, but was actually 17 is by definition a pedophile. But the reason why they did it is very likely different than someone who had sex with a 13 year old and knew it.No, action does not make someone a pedophile. An adult sleeping with an assumed adult to learn they are 17 is not a pedophile. It is potentially statutory rape, though, depending on circumstances.
Sexual attraction to children, e.g. this woman, is a pedophile.
Please try a dictionary. The literal only definition of that word is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. It has nothing to do at all with actions.
My mistake on the definition. I was looking more for the phycological underlying reason for that attraction. Unless you are saying a person is just born that way, and it isn’t thier fault or something.
I’d argue that yes, they are born that way and their attraction isn’t necessarily their fault. I’d also say they should have therapy, not be allowed around children, and if they harm anyone they need to be put in prison soooooo…what’s your point here?
My original question was to try an understand the underlying cause. This might help me better assess the risks of people like my kids friends parents and such. My end goal is prevention. But I am also curious by nature. The better I understand things, the better a voter I am.

Just being pedantic, rapists, especially child rapists need the book thrown at them.
Why did I read this article wtf. We need some eye bleach in here.
LouNeko@lemmy.world posted this turtle using a tape deck to have zoomies a few days ago when I really needed it.
That is very cool, thank you.
I’ll try to pay it forward when someone needs it too
Hang on I’ll be right back.

And what a disgusting human being she is.

A woman abuses a boy and the first thing you do is use it as a gotcha moment against… who, exactly? Anyone saying all men or only men, rhetorically, expect you to know if you aren’t part of the problem. So, why so defensive? Just relax, man. No one here was accusing you of anything.
Yeah I agree…some weird vibes there

The comment is stating that you treated it as a gotcha moment. Which I agree with… I mean, just read your post again.
This is living proof that NOT ALL MEN COMMIT THESE ACTS!
Women are perfectly capable of doing the same damn things, they’re just more sly about it and how often are guys going to complain when they get their dick wet or touched by a girl?
What the other commenter described is exactly what you did. Stating otherwise means you may need to pause and ask yourself, “Am I deluded?”
Or even better, just ignore us all and reassure yourself that we’re all crazy. That probably feels the best, and we should always just go with what makes us feel good.
Anyway, just come back and check the vote tallies later if you have any doubt that what I say is the prevailing opinion.
And of course, if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. Sometimes I am wrong. Are you?
They were weirded out by taking a story about sexual abuse and reorienting it towards something about gender. We aren’t sure why you felt the need to do that, though that is common with people who have fallen into certain rabbit holes.
