I would encourage your friend to have counselling, this will help her decide if reporting the incident again to the police is the best option. It's not your job to report, you might do more harm than good. |

"I would stay out of it she a adult now leave it up to her I think she wont thank you for it and you probably loose a friend ..."
 this. It's up to her if she wants to report him or not and sounds like she doesn't. |

He may have abused his position then, but she's obviously not traumatised by it and has welcomed him back. Consenting adults now.
What may be a point though is whether he's still a practicing teacher - and if so, is he still overstepping legal boundaries? In that case... |

Stay out of it, this woman is an adult and whatever she does is up to her. You have limited facts and one side of the story, and to make a complaint will see you being inter_iewed and if it comes to nothing then you could find yourself in more trouble over this.
Ask yourself why you have issue with it, is it sour grapes etc. The decision is up to your friend  |

Report them for what exactly? Calling someone sir isn't an offence. Dressing as a school girl isn't an offence. Assuming that this relationship is consensual, then having a relationship with someone that allegedly abused you 30 years ago is massively fucked up but not an offence. And the police almost certainly won't revisit an historical crime unless the victim raises it aa their input would be essential.
I think you are right to be concerned but not a lot you can really do other than be there for her. |

This sounds like jealousy, why would it be doing your head in? |

So was this friend of yours forced to meet him, dress up and have sex with him? Or did she arrange, meet and have sex with him all of her own accord and feed you all this info after the event. |

People are so quick to pull out the "jealousy" card.. I'd be worried if it was my friend too.
Bottom line- she's a consenting adult. Stand back, let it take its course. And be there for her "if" it all f@cks up.  |

Why? Is she a vulnerable adult? Has he held a gun to her head and dressed her up against her will? Don't you have any problems of your own to do your head in?
She's not a damsel in distress: don't get involved in other people's dramas. |

Quick, I waited for 17 posts, before stating the obvious!  |

Its really difficult when you think a friends being treated badly. Just keep an eye out for her, offer a listening ear and support her if she needs it. Carry on being a concerned friend  |

Everyone saying that you should stay out of it are daft. Dont just ignore it, tell her exactly what you think and THEN walk away.
If we let our friends make mistakes freely then we can share the blame. Everyone grow up and take responsibility for your mates. |

"Because i dont know what she expects me to do with this info , not something i would tell someone "
It could be that for the moment she just wants someone to know. Do nothing until or unless she asks for help. |

"Told her what i think and keeping my distance now , only so much i can deal with "
I get the feeling that you care for her more then just a friend and that you are allowing the situation to affect you a little more then it should...I don't know the full fact to the case so can't pass comment on if she is doing all of this against her will etc but like I said she is a grown up and has her own mind. |

She is a very good friend ,used to her doing things without thinking of the consequences , just this time it feels different and she was in process of getting help about her dramas but will probably not get that help |

Someone suggested counselling . She may actually be vulnerable due to past events, although on the face of it it seems not.
The other mention of him being a teacher still, may also be cause for concern. |

you may find it creepy but the most important thing is what she thinks and how she feels and to me it doesn't sound like she has a problem with it so just let her live her life and be there for her if she needs you all you can do mate |

does no one think this teacher may have some kind of unhealthy influence over this woman, brought about by the abuse she suffered as a young child?
do we really think its ok for someones abusers to come back into their lives and star tall over again, even f the person is overage at that point?
could it not be some form of Stokholm syndrome?
did she have father issues when she was a child?
its very easy to just say ignore it, its nothing t do with you, but abuse is abuse is abuse, and an abuser is just that. its very easy to say ignore it, she is an adult, but who knows how fucked her head is from the earlier experience. |

If you have not already told her share your concerns with her. Then leave her to it whatever she decides to do. |

Right firstly as for anyone who has been found guilty of historic child abuse they should rot but just imagine if someone reported you to police alleging they were abused by you 20 years since and was innocent how the hell can you defend yourself as this type of unfounded accusation is easy to allege and difficult to disprove and once the accusation is in cops hands it becomes public and your life is ruined based on someone saying such things.
In essence keep out of it as you only have her word on it. |
