It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

A teacher was busted for allegedly sexually abusing her 13-year-old student, reportedly having sex with him at least 12 times, sending him money via CashApp and having a pregnancy scare.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Laredo Morning Times in Texas, Adriana Mariel Rullan, 27, had "sexual intercourse/sexual contact" with the student a dozen times, including at a middle school in the United Independent School District.

So she raped him 12 times, and we’re not using the word “rape?”

Some places have really specific definitions for rape, ie “forcibly inserting your penis…”. So what women do to men can never be called rape even though it “is”. Using the term for cases where it doesn’t specifically apply would be libel and you can/would be sued.

while "rape" isn't defined, it is often used to describe sexual assault.

using "rape" in this context would be perfectly reasonable, and i think whoever wrote the article should have done so.

I don't think they can call it rape until after she's been convicted of rape, unless they want to open themselves up to a lawsuit. Not sure if they could have said, "Allegedly raped," or not, but I wouldn't fault the writer or even the publisher for having to phrase it this way. I think their choice of headline was more likely motivated by legal pressures than any sort of bias against rape victims, male or female.
