Flash take it as read that anybody you ever saw on a TV screen before 1980 was a sex offender.

Interesting to see that the teacher who took had a relationship with one of his 15 year old pupils (the ones that went to France) has been jailed for 5 years. Whilst no doubt still wrong and an abuse of power this was a consensual thing.

Not saying he shouldn't be jailed, but 5 years for this when Hall only gets 15 months for various counts of sexual abuse just seems wrong

Does seem unfair but Hall's sentence was hugely affected by his age - and things like pupil/teacher relationships have to have a precedent set because there's such a scope for abuse there.
