March 18, 2007 — The latest student-teacher sex scandal wasn't just about lust — it had deadly consequences.

Eric McLean is accused of killing Sean Powell, an 18-year-old high school student who was allegedly having an affair with his wife, Erin, who worked as a counselor at Powell's Tennessee high school.

"She's started an affair with him," said Norman McLean, Eric's father. "There was alcohol involved a lot. Eric loved his wife and tried to stop it. … It all culminated Saturday evening."

(The boy's mother) Flynn said she found out about her son's death from Erin. At first, she couldn't believe the news.

"She had called me Saturday evening probably five minutes after it happened and she said Sean been shot," Flynn said. "I thought it was a joke."

Powell had told his mother that he had a high school counselor, but Flynn had no idea that his relationship was sexual until after he died.

How about "Adulterous teacher-student affair turns deadly"

What's this "love" crap. "Awww, they were just two crazy kids in love until the husband caught them and messed everything up."

Typical idiot headlines..

I think they omitted the word "triangle" after "love" which was featured in the AP story headline.
