Wuxi Expat English Teacher Says He Didn't Know the Student Was Under-Age.

English Teacher Faruk Bagolli, an Albanian Canadian, told the WCE Blog that he didn't know that the female student he had slept with was under-age.

"I thought Middle School Girls were over the age of consent!" said the 55 year old Bagolli.  "If I had known, I would have waited till she was old enough to go to high school!"

Because of the affair, Bagolli has had to resign from his school.  "The parents raised such a fuss that the school had no choice" said Bagolli.  "I understand their decision!"

Bagolli then insisted that the girl involved wasn't completely innocent.  "She lead me on!  She was wearing a short skirt and had her hair done-up so that she looked older than her fourteen years!"

Bagolli has not decided if he will stay in Wuxi or look to teach in another school somewhere else in China.
