Wishing harms a tad much, after reading the details. The poor kid got laid from a cute asian chick, poor guy what is wrong with the world.
The woman was 25 and the young man was 15, he was already engaging with sexting with her. I know it was wrong and criminal, but that would only further harm the young man, who is emotionally invested in this perverted woman, if she was hurt. I doubt you meant it, and assume hyperbole.
Honestly, when I was 15, I would have loved to be in his shoes...Seriously..a 25yr old Asian chick. Of course it's wrong, and now he might expect more or act inappropriate with other teachers. I'm guessing he's somewhat non-functional, and in that case it becomes worse.
When I was in school in the 80s, All the teachers were fat, old and ugly... In 1985 a young councilor, she was 24 used to stop me in the halls and bring to her office to chat. She had really long blonde hair, as was cute.
She would put her hand on my knee, but I just did not have the gut's to go for her. After a few missed opportunities she stopped talking to me. I still regret never making a move on her, but I'm a shy guy by nature.
First he's autistic, so his social functioning and coping with situations like this is probably not in the highest functioning, coupled with his youth (15), it's completely inappropriate and can cause more harm. Also due to their age disparity it would never work out (legally/socially). If you read further on this article it indicates he's frustration with losing here (tearing up the door board as they drove by the school). Honestly, who do you think initiated and pursued this relationship 25 yo neurotypical v.s. 15 yo on the spectrum.
I understand many situations where kids had gotten involved with their teachers, it was illegal, but the boys would brag about it and in many times enjoy the situation. But I feel in this case it was more/less abuse.
