I work at a university. I am surrounded by 8,000 18-22 year old women every day. On the off chance (roughly the same as winning the PowerBall lotto) that any would offer me a romp today, I'd flat refuse. At 53, my prefrontal cortex has overtaken my libido for executive control over such decisions. As Gilbert Shelton never said "pension will get you through times of no pussy better than pussy will get you through times of no pension."

I started college at 23, after a tour in the Navy. Among the young women who lived in my dorm was a 6' tall blonde goddess freshman who was determined to expand her sexual horizons loudly, enthusiastically, and with multiple partners. I jostled for position in that queue with every other straight man in the college. In winter quarter, before my number was called, I learned that she was a precocious 16 year old 6' tall blonde goddess freshman. Even then I had enough sense to get out of harms way.

This kid is a jerk who best hope some DA doesn't decide to charge him for distributing child porn since he shared the video of himself getting blown. The teacher broke the law, though I guess a different law than DC age of consent. She should have known better. She should face the same sanctions as a male teacher would if caught going down on a 17 year old cheerleader.

The civil suit is extortion. They'll settle for however much the district is willing to pay to make it go away.
