If I got a waiver like that, it wouldn't end with me refusing to sign that waiver. I'll be making an appointment to speak with the principal, and you'll be hearing from me at the next school board meeting.
Yeah exactly.
I came here thinking 'maybe he's on the registry because at 19yo he fucked his 17yo GF and her parents found out'... nope. It's every bit as bad as you'd think.
Here's the thing with those 'stings'- they are not entrapment. The agent makes it clear they are a minor. There's no confusion, no 'I thought she was 18'. That would kill the prosecution and give the defense ammunition. No, the agent 'minor' gives themselves an age that's below 18.
This is no innocent guy trapped in a big net. This is a guy who made plans with a minor to meet up and have sex, KNOWING they weren't 18.
If that were my kid I'd be demanding the heads of everyone who signed off on his hiring and that waiver as they are obviously unfit to be in charge of education. Doesn't matter if it's the principal of the school, pick someone random off the street and they'd do a better job not hiring would-be child rapists to supervise children.
I don't know about that. There are cases where "person" said they where older then go oh I'm 14. And then the person keeps talking and they get busted.
Why would you keep talking to a 14 year old?
