Last week I stumbledupon the Smoking Gun’s report on Debra Beasley Lafave, a teacher, who at the age of 23 had sex with two teenagers and got no jail time.
Remember that?
And the outrage? That if she was Donnie Lafave and took advantage of two young teenaged girls that there’d be a lot more jail time than nothing.
Not only did she break the law, she violated one of the basic laws of dating a younger person – half your age plus seven.
Now CBS in Chicago is reporting that another Hester has done the same thing. This time, the 1D10T in question, Cathleen M. Miller, is 40 and she’s charged with having a fun time with 4 of her daughter’s friends, and they were all either 14 or 15 years old.
Cathleen M. Miller, 40, of the 5800 block of West 109th Street in Chicago Ridge, is charged with three counts of criminal sexual assault and one count of criminal sexual abuse, according to Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokesman Andy Conklin. At the Bridgeview courthouse on Tuesday, Miller was ordered held on $900,000 bond, he said.
Police said the victims were four boys between the ages of 14 and 15.
Between Feb. 1 and June 1, Miller held parties at her home at which she would provide teens with alcohol and marijuana, according to court records.
Miller had intercourse with two of the teens, oral sex with a third and fondled a fourth, according to prosecutors, who said the boys were friends with Miller’s teenage daughter.The parents of another teen who had attended the parties figured out what was going on and contacted authorities, court records indicate. That teen was not considered a victim.
There are a bunch of different ways we can all react to this type of news…
-
Boys will be boys – bad boys at that
-
Where were these MILFs/Cougars when I was 14?
-
We should lock her up and throw away the key.
-
We need to keep better tabs on our kids.
-
It could make a wild story that starts off something like this “Dear Penthouse, I can’t believe this actually happened to me…”
The problem that I have with this is that if she were named Joe and was a 40 year old guy and plied his son’s friends with pot and alcohol and had sex with 14 and 15 year old girls, the outrage would be crazy.
-
How can we let this happen to our girls?
-
OMG what a perv.
-
Ewww…
Most people wouldn’t be saying, “cool, dude, way to get some.”
And maybe the kids are sexually active earlier and are influenced by a lot of stuff, including ubiquitous access to porn on the internet and sexual freedom and mores because of knowledge gained that we of a different age didn’t possess.
And maybe the age of consent should be lowered due to this.
Fact is, the law is the law.
There is no difference if the molestation happens to a boy or girl.
As a society, we let the Hesters of the world slide, but we don’t give the Chesters any leeway.
Sheer 1D10C.
