I was in high school during that time period. One of my male teachers, the girls basketball coach, married a student as soon as she graduated. His kids from his first marriage were in their 30s. He didn’t lose his job and continued to coach.

I don’t kid myself that things like this don’t still happen today but I’m so glad that it’s at least recognized as wrong. Sometimes there are even consequences.

Wow! I’ sure it still goes on today at least now there are consequences but only if they get caught.

Imagine an entire society conspiring to allow this behavior. Now imagine he had made his victims available to others, on islands and ranches and in Florida mansions. Unimaginable. Thank you for reminding us that power and fame and wealth do not excuse one from the laws and social norms of society.

I sit here in stunned silence. The power of framing. The power of fame. The power of power. That is a horrible story.

If this had been a movie script, I would have found it outlandish-too absurd to have been believed. Absolutely criminal. Thanks for putting Springora on my radar.
