GG, read the law already folks.
"teacher, school administrator, student teacher, school safety officer, or coach, at any age"
There. It says student teacher(which is essentially the same).
Well, YOUR definition is not the same as mine.
But it seems you don't like this any more than his parents do, so why quibble about "which is essentially the same"..
They weren't at the same school.
It says student teacher(which is essentially the same).
It is not the same. If the legislature wanted to include teacher assistants, they would have included it. One of the principle of legal construction is that the legislature means exactly what it says and that one cannot read words into or out of the language of the law when there is no ambiguity. In this case, there is no ambiguity.
If the legislature wanted to cover other positions, it could have included "or any other school employee" or similar language.
A small word like 'and' has a very significan legal meaning. In this case, if what comes before AND after the word 'and' is not present, there is no crime.
