The crime is often popularly referred to as pedophilia

I think this was the point being made.It's a very common error though it's not one made in the courts by judges. A 23 year old (or any age for that matter) having a sexual liaison with a 16 year old is committing an illegal act in most jurisdictions but it is not pedophilia.It doesn't matter what it is popularly referred to.

You may wonder, if the age of consent is 15 and she is 16 and consented how could he have committed a crime?  The answer, as I understand it, is that there was literally no crime, UNTIL, the parents of the girl filed a complaint with the police.  

He's not being charged with having sex with her as that is not illegal but apparently this is his charge: "taking a minor who is over 15 years old but not exceeding 18 years old away from their parents, guardian, or caretaker without reasonable cause, willingly and intentionally." or in other words he didn't pay her parents any money - the relationship has been going 5 months. In the UK having sex with this girl would illegal as anyone with a duty of care (teachers etc) cannot have sex with them until they're 18 even thought the age of sexual consent is 16.

Pre-pubescent = pedophile

 

Dude is a child molester, not a pedophile.

To be accurate, the teacher is not a paedophile, nor is he a heberphile, actually he is a Ephebophile.

 

Thank god for Gerontophiles.

 

 

Child abuse is child abuse. These other names are ridiculous.

Nonsense, you are incredibly ill informed.

 

These other names as you call them are well defined legal & descriptive terms and define age & sexual attraction.

It's nice they are finally trying to get the schools in Florida turned around.

Normal people dont google creepy stuff like that. People google things of interest like bus station, hotels, banks. You google child sex stuff. That is unusual.

Conclusion, it is not the money or the desire to teach subjects to the students for Male teachers, it is the sex.

Young guy dates 16 year old girl.  No story in that and nothing wrong with it.  However it all changes when the guy is the girls tutor.  He is in a position of responsibility for his students and that crosses the line.  Leave the school and problem sorted.  Too late to avoid the s**t storm now happening but  none of this is a big deal.

Who said I googled it?  When you assume... (cue: old joke  ASS U ME).

 

I volunteered one day per week in the legal sector, that's where I learned this, the age of the younger sexual partner makes a difference in the description of the accused.

 

Also, there's a movie called Gerontophilia (2013) that I watched a few years back.

Typical strawman deflection tactic. Stating a fact is just that...not a confession or admission...just the facts, regardless your opinion of stated fact(s). Certainly even "samong nok yai" understands that❓

 

In answer to your other query...you are funny. ????

It's not wrong if you would ask the father for the hand of his daughter and there would be no fornication, ie. no sexual relationship outside of marriage. This would be actually utterly morally the best and should be the only acceptable way.

that happened up near us in Isaan. 60yo farang asked to marry a 14yo village girl. deal done and happily married. until the idiot ran his Harley into the back of a rice truck a few years later. then the widow girl was past school age, had 2 kids, and no future. no Ranger either.

 

point is this is a legal thing in Thailand.

Actually you are wrong. As an American citizen he is bound by the laws in the USA even if he is not in that country. He will find this out if he returns to the USA or perhaps he will be extradited back or have his visa for Thailand revoked and be forced to return. Either way he broke the laws and will be charged for it in the USA as well and added to their lists of pedophiles. 

 

No, I am actually not wrong. You didn't even read what I wrote. Your answer has nothing to do with what I wrote. Also, you don't understand what pedophilia means as well, please educate yourself on the topic.

 

Also, just for reference: In most US states age of consent is 16.

Time to brush up on US laws. I am sure it is the same for Brits, Aussies, etc....

 

"Federal law prohibits an American citizen or resident to travel to a foreign country with intent to engage in any form of sexual conduct with a minor (defined as persons under 18 years of age). It is also illegal to help organize or assist another person to travel for these purposes."

Spot on.

For many years, Australian federal law is that under age sex in another country by an Australian is a crime punishable as if it had happened in Australia.

I believe that law has been very effective in tackling the issue of "Australian sex tourists going to South East Asia, Africa and other locations".

You really had to made out of stone to resist some young attractive things throwing themselves at you, i know i too, would have problems with it, against the law or not, pity though that his life now are ruined.

I agree, not sure I could resist some of those young attractive young ladies either,  I thought in Thailand, 16 was of legal age?
