Whoah there...just because I'm gay, doesn't mean that I don't know what straight blokes think. I have many straight male friends, and there are a number of them who had serious crushes on their (female) teachers.
So - straw poll to the straight gentlemen on this thread...have you ever had a crush on a female teacher?
The female teacher committed a crime (cautions can only be given to offenders who admit their guilt) but elicits responses such as "she should have known better... what a lucky boy-pupil".
Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 a teacher engaging in sexual activity with a minor pupil (under 18) in their charge commits an offence with a maximum penalty: 6 months and/or �5000 fine in Magistrates' Court, 5 years in Crown Court.
