Thirty-seven counts of murder?  

The penalty in Florida for statutory rape of a minor sixteen or seventeen by an adult more than five years older is fifteen years.  15 X 37 = 555 years.  Even if one counts all occurrences with a student as a single crime, it's still 45 years.   She got 22; she will almost certainly serve significantly less.  PlaneJane is not wrong here.

Seems like a waste of your money.

Americans and sex are just weird but I'm sure it was a feel good law at the time.

This is the portion of the Florida code bearing on the instant case.  I don't see any reference to "great trauma".  If you do, please highlight it in the color of your choice.

794.05 Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.—
(1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, “sexual activity” means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another or the anal or vaginal penetration of another by any other object; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose.


According to Florida statute 775.082, the max penalty for a second degree felony is fifteen years, so basically, Fichter got maxed out on one and a half counts out of the thirty-seven for which she was convicted.  Boo-hoo.

And I have no doubt that a man would have gotten worse.

It has very little to do with American society's view on sex and a lot more to do with person in a position of authority.

There is a similar case occurring near where I live but in the opposite; male teacher(s) and female students.  It has turned into a train wreck with one of the teachers being charged with intimidating the witnesses/victims and a third unrelated teacher being charged with intimidation as well.  I'm interested to see if the teacher gets more time for intimidation than the sexual acts.

Teacher Who Had Sex with 3 Students Gets 22 Years Despite Tearful Apology


Good.  Don't care how many seventeen year-olds she has sex with but she should get the same sentence one of her male counterparts would in the same circumstances.



Agreed.

Maybe you misunderstood the question. I didn't ask for you to post the letter of the law. I asked you to describe the actual damage done to the "victims". Like, what specifically is the terrible injury that will haunt them for the next 22 years?  Did she break their legs? Make them invalids? Will they now cower in fear every time they see a good-looking woman? What was it?

Or does your answer just indicate that you can't think of any actual harm that was done to them, so you post something irrelevant to my actual question?

And just to keep you up to date, my question wasn't about what a man would have received, or your level of sympathy, either. Try again.

So, finding yourself completely unable to name any actual harm done to these boys, you just fall back on the mindless chant that "the law is the law" -- even when it results in things that make no real sense at all. So punish people without any regard to the actual harm done, just because "that's the law". No sense of proportionality at all, and it really isn't about the "victims" but is just about your desire to punish people, whatever.

Yeah, you make a lot of sense, don't you?

That is a ridiculous sentence whether it was a male or female sexing 17 yo students. 12 yo, yea maybe but not 17 yo. The weren't exactly scarred for life, male or female.

She would have done better in sentencing if she was drunk driving and killed someone. The average murderer serves only around 10 years but this woman gets 22 years.

She should have done it here.  We had a guy shoot 8 people in one sitting who got 2 years on each count, concurrent, credit for time served, and a fine of $306.50.  Since he'd been in jail 2 years awaiting the trial, his penalty afterwards for shooting 8 people was a fine of $306.50.  (Which he didn't pay, of course, and a bench warrant for failure to pay was put out for him.  Which didn't stop him from murdering a 20 year old woman Friday.  Wonder what his fine will be for that.)

I see that you can't muster a simple answer to a simple question. It isn't about the "victims" at all with you. As near as you can determine, there wasn't any actual harm done at all.

So, there was never an issue with this law until some hot female school teacher got caught banging students. Because that is exactly what you are saying.

Is there any ACTUAL harm if someone robs a bank? If no one gets hurt, the bank will get reimbursed the funds and looking at it from a purely 'did anyone get hurt'' point, why put someone in prison for it?

Sometimes, punishment is used as a warning to others to not follow the same path. It's not like she was retarded [although I question that with some teachers nowadays] and couldn't understand her actions were not condoned by society. It's not like she couldn't have had sex with some random 18 year old she met elsewhere. I'd bet that much of her illicit excitement was that it was ''wrong,'' she knew it was wrong, and she got off on it.

Laws MUST apply equally to all or they are greeted with contempt, witness almost all firearm laws where LEO's and government agencies are allowed many things [higher cap mags, barrel lengths, suppressors ect] that are against the law for the ''common'' man.

Either fight for male teachers to have no punishments or you are perpetuating sexual discrimination where a vagina has more rights then a dick.

I simply asked PlaneJane, and now you, to describe the actual harm done to these boys. That's a simple task, that doesn't require long-winded bullshit that is irrelevant to what I asked.

So your answer is that there was no great trauma. You just think that people ought to go to jail for long periods whether they caused any actual harm or not. That is, it isn't about the victims, it is just about your mindless desire to punish, irrespective of any harm they actually caused.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

So if they turned 18 and were out of school in 4 months....this "horrible crime" would have gone from a life ruining 22 year sentence, to perfectly acceptable.  Yep, nothing bat shit crazy about that at all.

I don't know that to tell you. She committed a second degree felony thirty-seven times.  You think she should have gotten a twenty dollar fine or maybe flowers from the Governor?

The law is the law. She did the crime, she will do the time, or at least most of it.  How this makes you feel is quite irrelevant.

Yeah, you make a lot of sense, don't you?

Yes, actually I do.  Most developed societies categorically reserve certain decisions to adults regardless of the specifics of individual cases.  You don't see the wisdom in this; I do.  


I see that you can't muster a simple answer to a simple question. It isn't about the "victims" at all with you. As near as you can determine, there wasn't any actual harm done at all.

And, trimming what I said so you think you have some answer just shows how weak your shit really is. People on this board seem to think that you are the most badass GDer around. Yet you can't answer the simplest questions. So much for that, I guess.

There is discretion in sentencing and this is where logic should come into play.  The sentence should reflect the lack of actual harm done and not throw away taxpayer funds.

Teacher Who Had Sex with 3 Students Gets 22 Years Despite Tearful Apology

Good.  Don't care how many seventeen year-olds she has sex with but she should get the same sentence one of her male counterparts would in the same circumstances.

Teacher Who Had Sex with 3 Students Gets 22 Years Despite Tearful Apology

Good.  Don't care how many seventeen year-olds she has sex with but she should get the same sentence one of her male counterparts would in the same circumstances.

Please. Per FL law...
794.05 Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.-- (1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, "sexual activity" means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose Florida code, Title XLVI, Chapter 794

Please explain how the older party's age being 30 instead of 23 affect, in this case, the younger party's ability to consent? Also, handies and fingering are cool, because hands and fingers don't meet the criteria under "sexual activity"? Bullshit.

As far as the "power and authority" argument goes, if there was coercion, fine, lock their ass up. Aside from that, where do you draw the line? Allowing for the 23-17 age limit, how far does that go? Teacher from another school? Cop from the next state over? Military NCO on a cross-country CONUS deployment? Even if limited to a direct position of power or authority, any legal eagle could construct an argument, no matter how tenuous, that would cause all manner of trouble for the accused.

But I think you and I both know that a 17 y/o male would probably try to fuck a kumquat, if he thought it was worth his time.

An actual living, breathing, willing, attractive female? Those guys went "master-arm switch, hot" the second she even insinuated she was interested. Shit, at that age, I'd have hit that harder than a Hadron Collider, period.

So your answer is that there was no great trauma. You just think that people ought to go to jail for long periods whether they caused any actual harm or not. That is, it isn't about the victims, it is just about your mindless desire to punish, irrespective of any harm they actually caused.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I think that as her sentence is quite high, if setting on a jury according to the evidence a max of 10 years stacked sounds about right for what she did is what I would go for. Probation for the next 10 years after.
With that sex drive, I would imagine some corrections officers better watch out too.

So describe the great harm that was done to these boys that would warrant ten years in prison. That's the part that people seem to be lacking here.

Try again. I didn't make any such statement, despite your wonderful attempt to put words in my mouth.

I simply asked PlaneJane, and now you, to describe the actual harm done to these boys. That's a simple task, that doesn't require long-winded bullshit that is irrelevant to what I asked.

So, once again, for the hard of hearing: What actual harm came to these boys?

If what you say is true, then you should be able to name it.

So, finding yourself completely unable to name any actual harm done to these boys, you just fall back on the mindless chant that "the law is the law" -- even when it results in things that make no real sense at all. So punish people without any regard to the actual harm done, just because "that's the law". No sense of proportionality at all, and it really isn't about the "victims" but is just about your desire to punish people, whatever.

Yeah, you make a lot of sense, don't you?


Are you fighting to change the laws when the same thing applies to men?




No, maybe you, like PlaneJane completely missed the question. I simply asked her to list the actual harm done to these boys. So far, nobody seems to be able to do that simple task.  We can get to the deeper questions when somebody can answer the easy questions.


So, there was never an issue with this law until some hot female school teacher got caught banging students. Because that is exactly what you are saying.

Is there any ACTUAL harm if someone robs a bank? If no one gets hurt, the bank will get reimbursed the funds and looking at it from a purely 'did anyone get hurt'' point, why put someone in prison for it?

Sometimes, punishment is used as a warning to others to not follow the same part. It's not like she was retarded [although I question that with some teachers nowadays] and couldn't understand her actions were not condoned by society. It's not like she couldn't have had sex with some random 18 year old she met elsewhere. I'd bet that much of her illicit excitement was that it was ''wrong,'' she knew it was wrong, and she got off on it.

Laws MUST apply equally to all or they are greeted with contempt, witness almost all firearm laws where LEO's and government agencies are allowed many things [higher cap mags, barrel lengths, suppressors ect] that are against the law for the ''common'' man.

Either fight for male teachers to have no punishments or you are perpetuating sexual discrimination where a vagina has more rights then a dick.

And again, if this had been a case of a male teacher and willing female students, we wouldn't likely be having this conversation, would we? You are a true ''white knight.''

The only difference is she is a decent looking  female and she has a pussy, hence, she should not be constrained by laws that apply to males.

Maybe you didn't understand the question. The question isn't about the law. The question is about the harm the victims suffered.

So, I take it that you are of the same opinion that PlaneJane is. If the law says that spitting on the sidewalk gets a death sentence, then a death sentence is warranted regardless of the harm actually caused. Just because.

And neither one of you seems to realize how stupid that stance is.

Teacher Who Had Sex with 3 Students Gets 22 Years Despite Tearful Apology





Good.  Don't care how many seventeen year-olds she has sex with but she should get the same sentence one of her male counterparts would in the same circumstances.




Agreed






Don't agree at all.  A 30 year old male having sex with 17 year olds shouldnt get 20+ years and neither should a woman.



In the main, I agree.  But the "person in a position of trust or authority" angle changes things completely.



ETA: Can't say I'm surprised that you don't agree with us; you don't even agree with yourself.  LOL.




 
I have mixed feelings.




Three separate students, a pregnancy, and a position of authority does exceed the normal bounds here.




But 22 years is what people get for murder.  That's excessive.  Really excessive.




I distinctly remember some female friends in high school discussing exactly what they would do a young, single, male teacher.  It was just as raunchy as anything said in a football locker room.  No way can you tell me that a hook up there would not have been consensual.




Age of consent needs to be 16.  Relations between people older than that should not be a criminal matter.  By all means, fire teachers who engage in such, and even kick them out of the profession.  Prison?  Is that really making us safer?
