school daze and teacher seductiuon? make that abduction. abduction without seduction?

This article is interesting more for what it doesn’t tell us.

These days the reports of female teachers seducing young boys is becoming so common it isn’t even shocking anymore. Or surprising.
And btw ... I really do question the “seduction” part of the stories I have seen, recalling that boys that age are already primed for seduction.
There’s not much to seduce and I think the use of the word “child” as the Mail does here is totally without reason. Child?  In today’s world?
With all the images already out there in movies, DVDs, posters, computers and lets not forget advertising and oh yeah, how about MTV? No,no.
The ‘C’ word here is uncalled for and misleading. 

But back to this article .... apparently there is no charge of seduction.  It’s abduction. Which leaves unanswered - abduction for what reason if not sex?

The five charges of sexual activity with the youngster were not put to the defendant and she will not now face prosecution on those counts.

Doesn’t that appear odd to you?  Here the story.

Ballet teacher who had been accused of having sex with underage pupil admits abducting 15-year-old boy

Sarah Pirie, pictured, admitted taking the teenager away from his legal guardians.

A ballet teacher who had been accused of having sex with a 15-year-old boy today confessed to abducting the youngster.

Sarah Pirie, 27, admitted taking the child away from his legal guardians on May 22 last year, Preston Crown Court heard.

Pirie, whose current address is Marner, Luxembourg, had originally also been charged with five counts of sexual activity with the same boy between March and June of last year.

Pirie had pleaded not guilty to all charges and was due to undergo a three week trial starting today.

But after discussions between prosecution and defence barristers, only the single charge of child abduction was put to the defendant, to which she pleaded guilty.

The five charges of sexual activity with the youngster were not put to the defendant and she will not now face prosecution on those counts.

The court heard the prosecution’s case depended on the ‘quality and credibility’ of the youngster’s evidence and it would be ‘inappropriate to maintain the allegations in respect of the other counts’.

Michael Lavery, prosecuting, added: ‘In this case the crown came to the view that there is no realistic prospect of a conviction.’

No more details were given in open court and the circumstances relating to the child abduction charge were not explained.

All the charges related to a time when Pirie, originally from Dundee, worked as a ballet teacher and choreographer in the north west of England.

Pirie, who has no previous convictions, was given bail until sentencing on January 7 on condition she does not approach the youngster again and co-operates with probation for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Judge Michael Byrne told the defendant: ‘You should understand this, because it is most important, the fact that I’m ordering a pre-sentence report in no way indicates the nature of the final sentence. All options will be available to me when I deal with this.’

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
