Former NAU 28:20 guy Bo Reed "arrested on eight counts of sexual conduct with a minor" - 17 yr old he coached

"Lines get blurred"? You sound like you're preparing your own defense in advance. There is absolutely no reason at all for the relationship between a coach and a teen athlete to be that "close" or for any lines to be blurred. Any 48 year old man who thinks a 17 year old girl is interested in him absent his position of authority needs his head examined.

It's not just the guys (guy teachers, that is).

I am reading a new story every day about female teachers/school personnel being busted for sexual relationships with underage male students.

The New York Daily News takes a particular interest in picking up on these stories nationwide and I swear they have had the mugshot of a different female teacher or school aide being busted just about every day for the last week.

Perhaps a new trend or perhaps just being more reported than in the past.

Probably being reported more often than in the past. And numerous studies indicate--contrary to popular belief--the results are just as damaging to teen male students involved with older female teachers as when the genders are reversed.

She was fifteen years old, going on thirty-five, Doc, and she told me she was eighteen, she was very willing, I practically had to take to sewing my pants shut. Between you and me, uh, she might have been fifteen, but when you get that little red beaver right up there in front of you, I don't think it's crazy at all and I don't think you do either. No man alive could resist that, and that's why I got into jail to begin with.

people need to calm the fvck down about sex

it is just sex

the girl is 17 ffs

imagine she is 17 years old and 364 days when the poor dude gets arrested. Does something magically happen the next day where all is well and good but 1 day earlier is not? NO!

If she were a few months older this would be a non-story (it already should be), but since she is (gasp!) 17!!!, the dude will be labeled a PEDOPHILE for life.

stupid overbearing fathers just can't imagine their perfect little princesses fvcking. they would rather them bang a knuckle headed, rash, dopey teenager, rather than an older, mature adult who can help nurture and offer guidance to her.

if she wasn't his athlete this wouldn't even be a story

this entire thing is so stupid

If I send my daughter to school and she goes out for the track team, you're damn right I don't want her "older, mature adult" of a coach having sex with her.

You are one seriously messed up dude.

What is with these dudes, seriously!! Do they think they have the right to prey on young girls? This is three pedophiles from three of the top CC schools in the past three years. I take interest in these stories and wonder if these athletic programs are making these men feel privaledged with an i can do what i want attitude.

Henry Dennis. What a POS. Wife was an M.D., they had kids and he is out screwing teenagers. She allowed him to train all day and he pissed in the bed he slept in. Wonder what toilet he is cleaning today.

Oh that's right out of jail and killed.

Benevolent? Nothing (except maybe we had the guts to put our name next to the link and allowed guys like you to rip us. We could have just posted it 'anonymously).

We posted it because it's a newsworthy story involving a prominent runner.

You have got to be kidding. You are posting anonymously. Are you wejo or Rojo? What is YOUR real name? And if you do represent letsruin.com, you guys are the ones who set up the rules of posting and YOU do not require registration, but are complaining about the rules YOU made? Please. Not to mention the main reason you get the traffic and hence $$$ is because of the wild west message board. If you really believe that people come on her for the "journalism" of the front page you very mistaken. This site makes money ONLY because of the filth and waste that YOU allow to be posted on this board.

Have a great day,

Why are you using the word 'prey'? You have no idea what the circumstances of their relationship are. She could have been the initiator. Even if he was the initiator, why do you label it 'prey'? Furthermore, there is nothing at all pedophilic about a 17 year old girl. Learn what the word means before you use it.

Pedophile is someone that like to have sex with prepubescent children. They don't like girls that are sexually mature.

If you think someone that has sex with a 17 yr old is a pedophile you're a ridiculous person.

nah.. Ive just been around the sport long enough to see that it happens OFTEN. See it, known people that have done it and none of them were some drooling knuckle dragging fiends.. they got into a situation and it got out of control.

That's not an excuse, it's what happened.

No, that's an excuse. A female runner brings up a topic that's too personal or too close, you steer her in the direction of someone she can talk to. A female teacher. A female coach. A guidance counselor. If you're feeling attracted to a young female runner whom you're coaching, you don't act on it. You don't encourage confidential conversations. You don't email or text her. You don't "let things get out of control." As a coach or a teacher you are entrusted with the well being of your athletes or students. Do enter into a physical or sexual relationship with one of them IS preying on them.

Ok so maybe not pedophile's but seriously if you think they did not prey/take advantage of these girls your mistaken. They could have spurned the any advances that came there way...simple as that.

Lol no it's not "maybe not pedophile". It's NOT a pedophile at all. No maybe about it. You're obviously someone who can't admit when they are flat out wrong.

And no, I am not mistaken. Just because two people get together does not mean that one preyed upon the other. The situation could easily have been mutually caused. Sure, the guy should have turned her down if he wanted to stay out of trouble, but that doesn't mean anyone was preyed upon or taken advantage of. 17 year old girls know what sex is.
