Yet another teacher in Texas has been jailed for having sex with one of her students.
Christina McCann is the fourth teacher from the Lone Star state to be locked up in recent weeks for illegal sexual activity with a student. The 39-year-old is alleged to have had sex with an 18-year-old student she was chaperoning during a conference for future business leaders.
Investigators in Austin,Texas claim McCann had been drinking with some of the six students she was in charge of during a competition organised by the Distributive Education Clubs of America. Detectives believe McCann was drinking alcohol with the students when one of them returned to her hotel room and a sexual encounter took place. The incident took place in February while McCann and her students were staying at a hotel in Fort Worth.
Married teacher found partially naked in car with 17-year-old student avoids jail thanks to plea deal (but she can teach again in three years) The students, from Lake Travis High School in Austin, were competing against other schools in a competition.
The Distributive Education Clubs of America seeks to prepare students to become leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance and hospitality. Police began investigating McCann after a tip off and she resigned from her job as a marketing teacher at the High School last month.
A warrant was issued for her arrest last week and McCann turned herself in on Monday. She was charged with an improper relationship between educator and student. Bail was set at $10,000.

Britni Colleps, 27, of Arlington, is accused of having sex with five of her students. Her husband has vowed to stand by her and dismissed

After a 6 pack I might hit it.
The kid is 18, he is an adult. What is the issue?
Provisionally guilty.
The “student” is a STUDENT! That is the issue. The age of the student is NOT the determining factor.
The first pic was big enough, thank you.
Sort of looks like Chris Farley in drag. Guilty.

6 pack of Jack Daniels maybe.

There is an implied power position. But with adulthood comes the implicit ability to discern.
Actually, I say yes that age is the whole point. One age is legal and another age is not.
Preliminary reports say the student’s grades have miraculously risen and he can’t stop smiling.
The issue is one of a teacher having power over the student.

Well, I am not 18 anymore... ;)
Ok, what about college students and their professors? What about students having sex with other students? Explain where you draw the line, please.

I have never heard it called “grades” before...
Vital measurements not visible in photo provided. These sorts of things are graded... ummmmmmmmm... “on the curve,” if you will. ;)
So, you’re okay with a person in a position of power engaging in such behavior with someone who they hold power over?
The issue is that other students can suffer grade-wise or by other favoritisms. This is more of an issue in college and grad school, but it doesn’t disappear here. I agree that at 18 there is less of an issue (he was of age and probably horny) but this possible favoritism is an issue still.
