| Heather Ingram promoting her book on the Oprah Winfrey Show |
Heather Ingram – the banned Sechelt high school teacher who pursued international media attention in the early 2000s by capitalizing on the story of the affair – has worked as an academic advisor at Capilano University’s Sechelt campus since 2014, a role that has raised concern among some in the community.
In 1999, while Ingram was a 29-year-old high school teacher in Sechelt, she began a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, which both say was consensual. Though the young man was over the age of consent, the affair was illegal because of their student-teacher dynamic. The following year, she pleaded guilty to one count of sexual touching a young person with whom she was in a position of trust or authority.
Ingram, reached by phone Wednesday at the office number listed for her on Capilano’s website, said: “I’m sorry, I can’t talk to you,” and referred questions to the university’s communications department.
Ingram joined the university’s Sechelt campus in 2013 and the following year she began working as an educational planning-advising officer, said Capilano spokeswoman Cheryl Rossi. In Ingram’s current role, Rossi said, she “advises potential students, who may be minors. She does not visit high schools on behalf of the university.” (more...)
Having sexual relations with children has almost gone mainstream. Of course, there has long been the hypocrisy that a young man was "lucky" to be selected by an older woman for his sexual introduction to the world, while an older man preying on a young girl was cause for criminal charges. This is nonsense of course. Not only is fornicating a bad idea from a spiritual standpoint, but young boys ought not be corrupted by women for so many good reasons. It is criminal, just as much in this dynamic as the other.
ReplyDeleteToday, we have a conflicted world. While it champions sex in all it's forms, celebrating homosexuality, what does the world do with pederasty? What does the world think about men persuing little boys and young men, their favorite targets? Well, that's a tough one, let's pretend we don't see it. If young lives are ruined, it's not our fault. Let's keep putting our money in the collection basket, even though we know that there are many, many homosexual predator priests and Bishops out there, and the abuse of boys and young men continues. Lives are ruined, but, it's not our fault. We didn't do it, we just financially supported it and didn't expect better. Surely God will not hold us accountable for the suicides that do happen when children or young people are taken advantage of so selfishly. As in all cases, anyone who would put their hands on a child or young person, or tempt them to commit a sexual act, is acting in the most selfish of ways, not considering anything but their own narcissistic need to feel powerful and in charge, not being healthy enough to take on an adult that can contend with them, but preferring the power structure of the powerful adult and the child or young person who naturally does not have the same level of personal readiness for such activities. This is what makes it attractive, to the predator! THEY are in charge, and that love of power makes it appealing. And sick.
These people are vile and disgusting. They ruin the lives of children and young people without so much as a thought. They say incredible things about this being "love", when it is nothing of the kind. A pox on these selfish predators. May God, in His infinite mercy and compassion, protect our children and young people today, who are now surrounded by men AND women who have forgotten basic human decency and are now chasing demented sexual "thrills" with the innocent and vulnerable. Sadly, this now is as apt to include women, who have been thoroughly destroyed by our sick culture. Once upon a time, not long ago, no decent woman would have thought to do such a thing. Now, it is barely noticed, as greedy talk show hosts glorify this most shameful and disgusting behavior.
