Betrayal deserves prison.Byline: Maureen Messent NUDGE, nudge, wink, wink, cue a ribald rib·ald adj. Characterized by or indulging in vulgar, lewd humor. n. A vulgar, lewdly funny person. [From Middle English ribaud, ribald person, from Old French, from joke along the lines of "lucky him" and you get the overriding reaction to a woman who had sex with a 14-year-old boy. But the same men who laugh at this situation would be up in arms armed for war; in a state of hostility. See also: Arms if an adult male seduced a 14-year-old girl. Teacher Elvira Fairhurst is starting a prison sentence this week for her relationship with a pupil. She abused her power of this boy, then told the police she had been raped.
