ALBANY, Ga. — A high school English teacher resigned after school officials found notes and a racy poem she allegedly wrote to a 17-year-old student.
"It pleases me that you want me as much as I want you," read one of the 13 notes attributed to Carla Murray, 32. The notes were found in the male student's locker after other students tipped authorities.
*snort*
Here in NY, at 17, no-one could say dip about who the guy was hooking up with, and vice versa.
The 'legal consenting age' in NY is 17.
New York has a much higher age of consent than most southern states. I would call this a violation of the teacher's moral conduct code in her contract.
The notes were obtained Tuesday by TV station WALB, which sued to have them made public. The notes were unsigned, but school investigators concluded Murray wrote them after a handwriting expert read the notes aloud to Murray and had her rewrite them. Albany Police will review the letters to see if criminal charges are warranted, Capt. Charlie Poole said Wednesday. I don't understand why the media (or public) had a right to see the notes when charges haven't even been filed. If your boss seizes some of your papers and turns them over to police, can the TV stations get them, too, even if it hasn't been determined that crime was committed?
