    Never said that. I said that the title is wrong. Really shows a lack of quality of writing when the title of the article contradicts the article itself

      But it doesn’t? It just says “when he was 14”, not “he is 14 and she is 31”.

      The name and age of the lady in the little blurb under the title indicate her current age, not the age of when she did it.

        Right after the age of the boy when she did, though. It’s awkwardly phrased and misleading. Just because you can justify something by saying “it’s not technically wrong” doesn’t change that.

      The title doesn’t mention their ages. The subtitle is awkwardly phrased because it gives the student’s age at the time and her age now, but it’s not wrong, and again, I don’t really get why you’re quibbling about that when the point that it was an adult sexually abusing a child stands regardless.
