It's not just the age difference between them that is worrying, but the power difference. A teacher is someone in a position of authority and trust which will make it difficult to prove whether the girl consented or felt under pressure.
The teacher is stupid, but I have also witnessed the manipulative behaviour of some 15 year old girls. It seems her mates knew straightaway who she had gone off with. At least she should be returned safe.

The teacher has acted in an incredibly foolish manner, his career is ruined. Hopefully the girl will be returned safe and well to her family as soon as possible as it must be a very worrying situation to find yourself in as a parent. The school will be furious about all of the adverse publicity this pair have caused. He really must not have been thinking straight to contemplate such a move.

I agree .... he was very stupid indeed, even taking into account how manipulative young girls can be.
Her poor parents must be almost out of their minds with worry! Let's hope that she is soon back home safe and sound..... and suitably chastised as well!

the teachers maturity level and ability to look ahead is seriously in question, he has likely lost his marrage, definately lost his career, his home goes with the marrage i suspect, he could be prosecuted for statutory rape if it can be proved he has had sex with her, then placed on a sex offenders register, possibly abduction and or other charges i cant think of at present, he has just ruined his life basically i agree girls are very manipulative but ..... wtf?

Young men do tend to think with another part of their anatomy though instead of their brains...it's not always girls being manipulative.

I think the girl was probably manipulative of the situation, not just the relationship. Manipulative of her mother (if we believe the fact that the affair had been going on for 7 months without the mother's knowledge), manipulative of her friends by getting them to cover for her, manipulative of her own destiny. 15 year olds usually have minds of their own and are quite scheming.
Young men might think with another part of their anatomy, but it is not unheard of for female teachers to enter similar relationships with younger boys. It is just totally stupid, irresponsible and brings shame on the profession.

Gotta disagree with you, cosima. He's more likely to be motivated by misplaced Romantic Love than physical love. Sex is only part of the whole....
For me, he's vulnerable himself. Forming a romantic relationship so strong that he would make a pig's ear of the rest of his life elicits from me sympathy.....
I know of such a case. He's now a wreck. In prison, he took a kicking from the inmates, while the warders looked the other way...
Punishment fit the crime? I don't think so....

Even sensible JBC commented that they obviously feel passionately in love. Why else would a man risk everything, wife career etc, to run off with a young girl. She looks amazingly mature for her age, but then so do most 15 year old girls now. It´s a stupid thing to do and also a dire breech of his responsibilities towards his pupils,but if we were honest is there any of us that could say we have never, ever,felt completely reckless when hopelessly in love??
