“The teacher from Seattle who is in jail because she is in love — that’s how I view it,” Maher says in the old clip. “I admit that it’s unorthodox. She’s 35, the boy is 14 — he was younger when they started.”
Maher went on to say that the teacher was pregnant with her second child and the couple was trying to “have a family.”
“They are keeping the mother in jail because she won’t conform to what society feels should be the perfect American family,” he added.
When an activist alleged the 35-year-old woman “raped” the young boy, Maher replied, “Raped? Come on.”
The guy I was replying to was trying to equate Maher's "the only crime was it wasn't videotaped" line with the words that got Milo condemned. He was wrong and needed to be shown the difference.
