From Tuesday’s Boston Herald:
School guard faces rape rap
Cops say he had affair with 14-year-old
A Lawrence school security officer and basketball coach had a yearlong illicit love affair with a teen girl at his school that unraveled after Salisbury cops nabbed him driving drunk while packing a pistol, police said.
No.
There’s no such thing as an affair with a 14-year-old girl.
The correct word beginning with “a” is abuse, a.k.a. statutory rape.

I agree 100%. That’s beyond a no-brainer. I’m surprised the copy editor at the Herald didn’t say anything.
I’ve seen the Union Leader refer to domestic violence as “wife-beating” in past headlines. Both instances are a disservice in describing a very serious issue.
Yeah – a real head-scratcher.
