All this sex in the workplace and in schools is leading important and powerful offenders to be totally destroyed by the exposure of their grave misconduct. In many instances, huge sums of money have been paid out as compensation; in others, criminal offenses have led to indictments that may lead to both fines and imprisonment. And reputations shall be destroyed for life!
The sex offender in the workplace can be heterosexual or homosexual in nature. Although the offense of men assaulting women is more common, the reverse of a woman superior sexually seducing a dependent male employee is certain not rare. Although male teachers have unfortunately sexually assaulted under-aged female students with some frequency, media and reporters gloat in their reports of female teachers having all kinds of sex with teenage male students. The photos of these somewhat pretty and well-figured teachers are plastered in newspapers and online. The media and people-at-large seem more mortified when the offender is an older woman taking advantage of a younger man or boy. Society believes, rightly or wrongly, that women should have better restraint and should behave more thoughtfully than men. So there is even unfair sexism in viewing sexual misconduct and assault.
In retrospect, Moon Lee was lucky to escape her sex scandal without such consequential punishment nearly ten years ago. The explanation clearly rested on the relationship between Moon Lee and her then teenage lover. It was not Moon’s call, of course, to avoid a lawsuit or a criminal indictment. That fell entirely within the prerogative of the “injured” party. Moon escaped disaster because the offending boy did not feel “injured” by his relationship with Moon. He might have interpreted his ill-fated affair as “true love”, and therefore felt privileged to enjoy the relationship rather than being injured or assaulted. By Zong Tian Yi (boy offender) refusing to admit the misconduct/affair, there was no way for him to lodge a formal complaint to legal authorities. And Moon’s idiocy rests in her believing that the sexual affection for the “adoptive son”, junior employee/student and under-aged minor was a manifestation of meaningful love and caring.
Even though, disgraced by the events, Moon Lee narrowly escaped a legal nightmare that would have been much worse than “bad press”. Moon Lee was actually saved by Dr. Law's expulsion of the illicit lover back to Beijing after discovering the long hidden affair. Once back in Beijing, it became much harder for Zong to make a legal claim against Moon from China because of jurisdictional issues. That possibility did not even cross his mind --- he was such the “star-crossed” lover that he thought it was “true love”. Of course, Moon’s real liability was horrible publicity rather than financial losses. The young lover was a foreign national employed with a contract executed in China, and legal jurisdiction would be a tough problem to overcome if he sued for monetary damages. And his foolish “love” for Moon would dissuade him to try to put her in jail.
The whole thing is world-class stupidity for both of them! No one could imagine how the illicit sex was worth the downfall.
