Over 20 US veterans commit suicide every day. We couldn't have devoted a single news segment to that, we opted for a non-story about sex?

My point was this particular incident shouldn't even have been a criminal charge so much as administrative issue. Fire the teacher for a breach of policy. But it shouldn't be a criminal thing when the actor's 17, and fully consensual. If he didn't claim to have been raped that should have been the end of it but for whatever the school wants to do about it.
We need to quit treating sex like the very worst thing anyone could ever do. We make these incidents into national stories yet how many people are being murdered every day we never hear about? How many not-blonde and white people get kidnapped we never hear about? How many truly horrible things go on every day the news never bothers to inform us about?
If someone was truly raped fine, but when no one's claiming a rape occured and it's all statutory and technicality, we need to quit giving coverage of it the dignity of our patronage and attention.
