You think sex with a former student of yours is really "consensual?" With all the brainwashing that goes on there? Plus not the only incident, read on. Lets think bout the age diff, maybe 50-60 yrs? oh yeah, you're the one who likes Socrates..

Be that as it may, you are wrong to label Sumner a sexual predator. No court of law in the land would convict him of that. Socrates wasn't sloppy with language.

From a TOPICA list discussion of a teacher-student aka guru-follower liason; both parties were adults at the time, but it came out later that the young woman was kind of talked into it, and didn't really want the relationship. The circumstances were actually quite psychologically destructive to her. The poster is quoting from THIS text by Dr. Peter Rutter. I came across this when I was reading up on that Eli Jaxon-Bear/Gangaji scandal that someone sent me a link to. Link to posts with more details of that latter tale HERE.
--- Quote ---Rutter takes the position that a "forbidden zone always exists in the relationship between doctor and patient, therapist and client, clergyman and congregant, lawyer and client, teacher and student. All of these professions carry a special trust not to abuse the seen or unseen dependent elements that inevitably develop." Because of the greater power of the professional, the client is unable to give truly informed consent, and it is thus the responsibility of the person in the more powerful position to control the necessary boundary between the two parties.
"Amorous relationships that might be appropriate in other circumstances are always wrong when they occur between any teacher or officer and any student for whom he or she has a professional responsibility. Further, such relationships may have the effect of undermining the atmosphere of trust on which the educational process depends. Implicit in the idea of professionalism is the recognition by those in positions of authority that in their relationships with students there is always an element of power. It is incumbent upon those with authority not to abuse, nor seem to abuse, the power with which they are entrusted."

Maybe Maine should change their license plates; instead of "Vacation Land," the plates should read "Predation Land."
Once upon a time I really did love Maine.

Naw, Sumner was no sexual predator, at least not any more than I'm a honkin' honky golfing fiend, har har har!! At least I walk the course; gotta keep what's below the belt in good shape, nudge nude nudge...
So Sums indulged in a lil "mentorship" once in a while... Most of the laddies didn't complain, at least not too loudly, at least not louder than some prescient and select bank deposits couldn't allay, har har. Can't say I was above a little of that myself, heh heh, though I did try to wait a bit. Don't like to tangle with those overprotective mothers, ya know? So I still get some kissypoo come graduation day, and pat their little fannies one last time... Another year, another dozen or so million $$.
Now if you want to talk about courts and convictions, and I don't mean the ones 'bout character this time, ya DID see that bit about how we take care of our teaching personnel, eh? Har har har, nice to know one's business neighbors here in Maine, har har. We high wage earners got to stick together. Those kinds of problems are best taken care of on the greens, boy! Didn't you know that?
Waitin' for my kissypoo, because I'm a golfing fiend!

I'm just adding my 2 cents to the original post in this thread because quite frankly it I was quite incensed when I found out about that Maine law. However as this article points out it's been on the books for quite a long time and we in Maine will have that legislation changed.
