First thing that pops into my mind when I see him..... “Get a haircut!”

[csvset]

Man, he got off light, imho.

He’s not gonna do well in lockup, methinks.

[samtheman]

His eyes look bloodshot.

17 is considered an adult in Texas I believe.

He looks like a garden gnome.

Although...he was the teacher...bad move.

It’s all a big misunderstanding. He just wanted her to play his flute.

Looks like he’s been crying.

Isn’t the 17 year old woman old enough to get married?

**snort** “That girl prolly thought she died ‘n’ went to heaven!”

17 is considered an adult in Texas I believe.

It is, unless there is a teacher-student relationship.

The Portsmouth,VA jail provides haircuts, whether you want one or not.

This sort of thing goes on all the time. Always has - when I was in high school over 40 years ago we caught the high school band director boffing a coed in the band room. One of the fellows in the group of us that stumbled in on them (unaware of us because we retreated right away) had a nice Nikon with a biiiig telephoto lens and was able to get pictures from outside through the window. Most interesting discussions with the board of education, the band director, and the girl's parents ensued. The director paid the girl's college tuition (he'd seduced her with promises to get her a music scholarship) and found other, non-teaching employment where he wouldn't be working with young women.

That’s one WEIRD lookin’ dude!

It’s amazing how things have changed in the last 20 years or so...

When I was in HS...the asst. band director was having an affair (if you can call it that) with a 15 year old female classmate of mine...everyone knew it. However, to avoid public humiliation of the “girl” it was all swept under the rug...the police were never involved. The band directors wife left him, however.

Several years later the guy did the same thing...AGAIN...this time he was fired, yet AGAIN the police were never involved.

This sort of stuff was pervasive at my HS...the water polo coach was having sex with a different cheerleader a year...blah blah blah...all kept quiet.

I have a feeling that many of us who were students during a period in which such relationships were well known but nothing done about it...are now taking action when our children our in HS.

Kids go to school to learn not to be prey for sexual predators.

Is that you, Sean Penn?

[RetiredSWO]

At least the judge won’t let him off because he is too preety to go to jail.

You think he could have waited the 3 months and been legal.

Considering the mary-jo and alcohol he is probably a liberal hippie who never grew you.

Would anyone believe keyboard malfunction???

preety —> pretty
grew you —> grew up

And it’s only 7:00....
