I assume you mean "scarred" for life. I think children are more resilient than that. I agree that there is a *chance* that they are scarred for life which is why it is such a bad crime. In e's article, she apparently wasn't in a position of power except as a generic adult. So that one looks like a case of statutory rape which should be judged as all such cases are. A teacher who takes advantage of her students is *much* worse.

There is some quote we had in lecture yesterday on Child Abuse/Rape and I wish I could remember it exactly. But basically what happens in child hood stays with you for life. It shapes you and even though they might have wanted to have sex with her, they in a way lost some respect for people that are in authority. Yes she could be seen as the "generic adult", but she is an adult none the less.
