The state I assume. It's a crime.
Even if Oregon has an age of consent of 18 and most states have it younger in most states this would be a crime.
Most states bar sexual between teachers/coaches and high school students. Power dynamic.

A 17 male is not a the same your 17 daughter. Get a grip. That 17 yr old was bragging, high fiving, sending snapchats all over the place & probably sending his friends over to do the cougar. There was no abuse here.
Yes, that is definitely what he's doing.

But don't tell me if that coach was 33 or 23 and came on to you as a 17 yr old- You would drop your pants in 3 secs flat if given the chance. Liar.
Exactly. Males ARE different from females ... no matter what the feminists at your college are trying to convince you of. This boy was most likely not damaged in the least but I'm willing to let the justice system figure that out.
Often damage is only done when it hits the media.
Often (99%) these relationships are mutually agreeable since a 17 yo apparently cannot/are not mature enough to consent to what they wish do with their own body, but can drive a 1700lb vehicle.

I knew and know damn well what I wished to do with my own body when I was 17 if a moderately hot cougar had approached me.

America is supoosed to be a country of freedom, why are we setting boundaries on something like love... People are different, some like huge age differences, why should they be discriminated against, where's the equality? This case is ridiculous... I think the age of consent should be 14 years old for all states, in a lot of places around the world, once you're 14 you're considered an adult and I think consensual sexual acts are understandable at that age... If an 18 year old and 14 years old want to have a relationship then why not? Statutory rape, are you serious? Who even came up w/ the idea of putting rape in there? If anything it should be called illegal sex... I haven't been through it, but I feel it's one of those things where it's really hard to understand it unless you've been through it (and you're talking to a guy who's conservative and doesn't agree w/ same-sex marriage or abortion), but this is love we are talking about here guys...

Please explain?
Females of all ages have a hard time coming forward and reporting crimes when they are sexually abused. With the attitudes displayed on this Board, I can only imagine how hard it is for a male to come forward and report any type of sexual abuse.
Suppose this young man was conflicted about the sexual contact, and didn't want to participate? Could you imagine how you would feel when others are telling you what a lucky guy you are? Sad.
If this was a 44 year old male coach having sex with a 17 year old boy, I wonder what some of you would say.
we had a hot 38 year old assistant coach at my high school, I would have dropped everything... and still would btw, thats why teenage boys are different then teenage girls. Hormones all over the place!!

These are ridiculous "laws." It is inappropriate conduct and should lead to somebody being fired. Criminalizing it is just stupid.

Wait, how is what messi wrote "liberal bullshit"? I thought it was liberal hedonist girls running around and being promiscuous and getting abortions willy-nilly because they don't have God in their lives? And (holy smokes here this is CORRUPT) being in favor of non-abstinence-based sex education?

Does anyone else here not believe in age of consent laws?
Love knows no boundaries--no age, gender, etc. seriously what's wrong with a 45 year old and a 12 year old hooking up as long as both parties consent?
Next you'll just say it's sick and they should be thrown in jail.
Guess what? That was the exact attitude towards homosexuality in the 50s.
I eagerly await for our society to truly accept everyone for who they are--some people are attracted to younger people, and it's not their fault.
Not a troll by the way.
Are you sure you aren't a troll? You are either a troll or rapist. I think I would rather be a troll.
Did she pee on him in the shower?
I'd like to know if the righteous group of people who are outraged by this would be OK with it if it was just a 17 year old and an older woman in a state where the age of consent is under 18.
I mean if she just loses her job and they move to a state where the age of consent is 16 would everything be cool?
Be for real, guys. She's a deuce, blocker at best.
Fyi: The b++++ would be dead if she messed with my 17 year old son.

WTF. I come to letsrun to be entertained, and I suppose this qualifies, but it is like paying a buck for the freak show at the carnival.
Whatever this individual did has nothing to do with Nike, the University of Oregon, or the legacy of Bill Bowerman.
Dad, what makes you think that she had her way with me? Just chill. I'm fine and going back for more.
