At a high school in a small city a 25 year old teacher fell in love with an amazing 18 year old student.

They had sex. They were super happy about it.

Some Twitter randos decided teacher-student power imbalance = RAPE!!!!

1)

Total strangers of course had no idea that the student had excellent grades, was near graduation, and was very popular among the faculty

She was also the principal's daughter. The principle was on the City Council

So in fact she had WAY MORE power than the brand new teacher

2)

So if power imbalance = RAPE!!!!

then clearly the 25 year old teacher is a rape victim here

and the 18 year old is a rapist who deserves a long prison sentence.
