I'm really not sure? It's a gray area in my mind.
I guess b/c I view some men as predators where females are not[sexual preditors]. Like I said, this story confused me.
And like was said above, a 15 yr old will have sex anyway.

I disagree with your claims. A significant number and incidently a rapidly increasing number of women are infact sexual predators. I just returned from a briefing from my state's attorney general's office task force on internet preditors.
While the number of male interenet sex offenders and predators in general, far exceeds the number of female sex offenders and predators, the number of adult female sex offenders and predators is high enough that it can not be considered a mere fluke or an insignifcant statistical anomoly.
As many of you know, Myspace is a sex offender's supermarket. In my opinion, my space is very neglegent in protecting children and identifying registered sex offenders who have my space pages. Myspace has tried to play off how difficult it is to trace the number of registered sex offenders are registered myspace users.
To prove how utter BS myspace's position is, a computer pragrammer developed a program to examine the sex offender registries of all 50 states and then to find matches on myspace using a given offenders name and various aliases. The results were astonishing to say the least.
For the most part, Women do not use myspace to find victims to prey on as to male offenders. However, female sex offenders use the internet and myspace ect to keep tabs on thier victims and to extend their control over their victims. It is just too easy for these woman to use fake id/my space accounts to stay in contact with their victim that they are involved sexually with or with a potential victim that they are grooming or preparing to have sex with.
The biggest boon to sex offenders who prey on kids are the new peer to peer file sharing networks such as Limewire. Parents can not use filters on this type of activity and there are far fewer means to track who a person has been incontact with and what information has been exchanged via these peer to peer networks
However, the population of female sex offenders and pedophiles is alive, well and growing.
Butterfly Kisses is an organization of women who like NAMBLA believe in a "sex by eight or it is too late" mantra. Butterfly Kisses along with the female/mothers branch of NAMLA openly endorse adult females having sex with children who have not yet reached puberty. These women are pedophiles in the true sense of the word. However, these women argue that what they are doing is not criminal and that the rest of society is just too narrow minded on this subject.
There is a great deal of cultural denial surrounding the whole idea of the female sex offender and the female pedophile. In many ways this is one of the last few taboos that society is reluctant to open its eyes to, and some of the research and findings in the field of female sex offenders has been spurned by the feminist movement.
If you care to read about the cultural denial of the prevalence and severity of the probolem of female sex offeners, I recomend this book

The movie Antwone Fisher has done a great deal to open the eyes and minds to whose who are not able to accept females as sexual predators as well as how a boys life is ofen scarred by a sexually predatory female.
Some of the recent studies that I have perused through indicate that while there are many more male sex offenders and male pedophiles than there are women sex offenders/pedophiles, the number of adult female sex offenders and female pedophiles is increasing at a dramatic rate.
So to bring this back around full circle, I find what this teacher/coach did to this teen age girl is reprehensible and criminal as well and that the Teacher/Coach is a sex offender- and by definition not a pedophile. In addition, if the legal age limits are fitting with the scenario, this teacher/coach should be tried for statuatory rape.
