Ok, what the hell....

This is the second time in the last couple of weeks that I've read a story about some older woman getting, um , "involved" with a teenage boy:

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- A 37-year-old woman who is seven months pregnant by her 15-year-old groom says she prefers older men, but the teenager aggressively wooed her.

Lisa Clark, who is charged with child molestation, statutory rape and enticing a child for indecent purposes, said in television interviews Monday that she still hopes to make a life with him and their baby.

...

"It's not like they are making it out to be. Actually, I'd told him 'no' several times because I prefer someone older, but he was just so nice and so sweet," she said.

"[B]ut he was just so nice and sweet." Yeah. That makes sense. "I didn't want to cut my finger off, but he asked me to, and, well, he was just so nice and sweet."

But I digress. Back in November, I stumbled across this gem:

(CNN) -- In a last-minute effort to keep herself out of prison, a 25-year-old middle school teacher pleaded guilty Tuesday to having sex with a 14-year-old.

...

A 14-year-old boy told investigators he had sex with Lafave three times in four days in June 2004, according to court documents. One of those times was in a car while his 15-year-old cousin drove them around, he told authorities.

He also said she performed oral sex on him multiple times, including once at her home, the documents said.

What could possess two attractive women, ages 25 and 37, to get involved with fourteen and fifteen year-old boys? It boggles the mind. And further more, where were these women when I was 15?
