You are a far better person than I. My reproductive organs completely shut down after that experience.

Ironically the only way this person would understand the complete fucking stupidity of what they’re saying is to actually be raped. Not that Im advocating rape. How society even functions is beyond me.

Oh dear god, you are a teacher. I taught high school for exactly one year. The only thing worse than kids are parents. God bless you.

Teens are disgusting, unformed human beings. They’re like Libertarians with even less understanding of humanity and how their actions affect others.

What happened? It was such a different time. Now it seems like people aren’t that different, but there are way more assholes that think they’re amazing for no real reason.

Sorry, I’m just so shockraged by these commenters.

No, the key is that he was 11. She raped an 11 year old.

Or he might surprise us all and just murder her in a drunken rage. That’s a likely scenario.

Are you seriously bragging about hanging out and drinking with a pedophile?

Is there any real proof or evidence he was abusive? She clearly has a personality disorder, and she is a rapist, so???

I think people find 20 + age differences unsettling regardless of sex, but it’s also nice that an 11 year old boy being raped reminds you how unfair that rich white actress has been besmirched by the tabloid press. Awesome.

11, 11 year old student that she started grooming at 7.

I’ve suffered about 32 rage strokes in the last hour of reading these comments. The abject racism, fancy white ladies aren’t rapists, he was asking for it, wow that’s real love; etc, has literally left the right half of my face paralyzed.

The whole “mandingo” “people of color sexually mature earlier” undertones in some of the comments have left me speechless. The fact that it was used to justify sexual abuse of slaves and indigenous people by predatory white colonists for centuries is somehow not relevant because Ms. Latourneau is a fancy white lady is…

He is a depressed alcoholic, raped at age 11, with no family support stuck with the pedophile that raped him? What is working exactly?

Megalomaniac? You mean child rapist, right?

You are a terrible, terrible, terrible judge of character and I pray that your partner / coparent has a better read on people than you do.

Who even knows when that started. Throwing up.

I’m freaked out by the commenters on this and another site I saw, that find the “enduring love” romantic. That say wow, they really love each other, as if it’s a proxy for their own failing relationship. I could just barf.

Oh Gawd, and just imagine if he was black or latino.
