Will, I suggest you contact several psychologists/psychiatrists to explain the difference between sexual relations between a 16- or 17-year-old student with a teacher/tutor, and a 16- or 17-year-old with an adult 21+ years of age outside any school system. Every healthy parent/guardian will tell you there’s a problem with the logic presented in the article. The age of “consent” should be changed to 18 in every state. Katherine Pelfrey is a predator, as is anyone 21+ having sex with a 16- or 17- year- old child. Add “teacher” status and it is magnified to an atrocity.
Oh horse hockey. Where do people get the ridiculous notions that an arbitrary age limit, created by a bunch of suits in a legislative body that likely have done the same or much worse in their lives, should be set in stone to control the lives and loves of everyone or else some of those lives will be forever ruined by such dictates?
This is the type of control freakism that legislators, rape crisis industry workers, and prosecutors, just love to have over others’ lives.
“But the teacher had control over him”, they love to bleat. Absent force or coercion by the teacher, any normal boy that age will feel empowered and grateful that an attractive female teacher shared her charms with him.
Folks is right. In cases such as these, firing the teacher is the only punishment that truly fits the “crime”.
Why are you publishing the last page of this document, which includes full names names and dates of birth of the minor children, who are the true victims here. You have to redact that.
You should have posted a pic of Justin Pelfrey. That way, if any of us find ourselves in close proximity to him in the grocery store, the mall, gassing up at the convenience store, we can know it and put distance between us and him in case he goes active shooter with all that rage inside him.
Her actions are reprehensible & have rightfully been punished. She knew what she was doing was wrong, regardless is what “the age of consent” is in the state of S.C. However, it always raises a red flag when the husband or significant other in a case is a law enforcement officer. His behavior is also disgusting. I hope that if his actions are in any way illegal that they will be exposed & dealt with as well.
