Sure, report the incident so kids learn never confide or ask adults for advice. So many things are a big deal because we make them a big deal, nowadays.
Having an illegal sexual relationship with a 15 year old is a “big deal”. I’m not saying it’s right for conservatives to bring it up 21 years later. But to dismiss it as “not a big deal” takes away from the seriousness of the crime.
WTF – let it go – get over it. If the Americans continue to do this – dragging up up past happenings then they will become similar to the PIS party in Poland looking backwards with a result the country does not grow or move forward. People make mistakes. I agree with you Brian Burton. Or is this story really about money?
Rich,
About money? I would not think so. About finding where the bodies are buried? more to the mark. Any appointee of Obama is going to be screwtinised carefully. Not withstanding the man is Gay, but, what else? The Americans are obsessed with background and what went on before and that is what a person is judged on, always the past. In the UK, they only worry about wheather a person uses their hands correctly when giving a speach on TV.
This is an attempt to make him look like the bad guy
At the end of the day telling the kid to stop the relationship wouldn’t have worked and it was the authorities that should have done something about it, not the teacher

If it had been a girl having a relationship with an older man, I doubt there would have been so much fuss. Stupid, backward, spiteful country.
