and i thought fantasies were just a fantasy.

I was down at dinner, digging into second helpings of calorie and carb-laden pasta, when Vincent told us:

"Do you know that a 12-year-old boy raped his school teacher during lunch remedial?"

Oooh, the scandal.

Uhhh. I meant:

"How horrible!"

And here's the relevant article taken from BBC homepage:

Pupil charged with teacher rape

"A 12-year-old boy has been charged with the rape of a teacher in County Durham, police have confirmed.

The incident is alleged to have happened at an address in the County Durham force area on 29 November.

The woman claims she was raped by a boy while providing personal tuition. He is then alleged to have taken her car, later found abandoned in Gateshead.

The boy is due before South Durham Magistrates charged with rape and theft of a vehicle at a later date."

The whole sordid incident reminded me of a typical Jap hentai porn scene. You have the usual school setting, a teacher and a student. Throw in a uniform. Age or sex is immaterial. The more the participants (willing or unwilling), the merrier it would be.

Just that in hentai, it always ends after consummation. Also, I don't think it ever proceeds to the stage of 'what happens next'. I'm not an expertise on hentai, (I don't like it) but I'm sure things like the victim's car being stolen by the rapist never ever happens.

Which brings me to the point that it is quite a sobering realization at times, that these hentai/porn stuff aren't just outlandish fantasies and weird fetishes dreamt up by horny goats. These things do happen in real life. And it is awful for the victim to be forced against his/her will. The physical and emotional trauma of rape is not easily overcome.

That being said, what on earth is wrong with kids these days? When I was 12, I was a complete ditz-head about sex, to the point that I firmly believed that the guy had to be older than the girl to indulge in sexual intercourse. And that it was a prerequisite. The next being: it had to be done lying on the bed.

Anyway.

I feel awful for the female teacher. Her only fault was that she was far, far too kind to a disobedient randy boy, and that she carried her car keys with her.

Wherever she is, I hope she'd get through this ordeal somehow.

p.s. This boy is an absolute terror. It just struck me that he is able to drive a car properly at the tender age of 12. Kids these days.

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.
