Summary

Laura Caron, a New Jersey elementary school teacher, faces multiple sexual assault charges for grooming and abusing a 13-year-old student.

The allegations claim Caron, who befriended the student’s mother, molested the boy from age 11 to 16, including conceiving and giving birth to his child in 2019.

The case came to light after the victim’s father posted about the uncanny resemblance between Caron’s son and his own.

    Why is the word “paedophile” not in that article? Can women not be nonces? I thought we had equality now.

      Is that what that word means? I’ve heard British people use it in media and just thought it meant idiot or something 😂

    I suppose I just don’t get it. She seems to be good looking. She could easily have an adult male with the mentality of a teenager, we know there are plenty of them. All I can see is opportunity/ease of access. Even the power dynamic would be the same with plenty of adult guys desperate to get laid.

        Why is the sky blue? Because it is blue, I don’t really understand the confusion.
        Pedophile is a title defined by an action. It has no connection to why the action was chosen. A person screwing someone who they legitimately thought was 20, but was actually 17 is by definition a pedophile. But the reason why they did it is very likely different than someone who had sex with a 13 year old and knew it.

          Please try a dictionary. The literal only definition of that word is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. It has nothing to do at all with actions.

            My mistake on the definition. I was looking more for the phycological underlying reason for that attraction. Unless you are saying a person is just born that way, and it isn’t thier fault or something.

              I’d argue that yes, they are born that way and their attraction isn’t necessarily their fault. I’d also say they should have therapy, not be allowed around children, and if they harm anyone they need to be put in prison soooooo…what’s your point here?

    Can we finally give up the whole “I wish I had a hot teacher who would have sex with me when I was his age” thing? Because I have heard some asshole say something like that every time a story like this comes out. Always with a female teacher and a male child, of course.

    This is rape. Every single time.
