A Brampton high school student is outraged with Peel police for charging his teacher with allegedly committing sex-related offences against him, insisting all she did was help him get over an emotional breakup with his girlfriend.

The 16-year-old teen yesterday denied having any sexual or romantic relationship with his 35-year-old teacher but admitted he sought advice from her during online MSN Internet chats after his girlfriend dumped him.

"She did nothing wrong. She helped me get over my ex-girlfriend," said the Grade 11 student, who can't be named. "She did nothing to me. All we did was talk. Our conversations weren't sexually explicit.

"She never touched me. Police have taken this way, way too far. When they told me she was going to be charged, I was speechless."
From here.

Overreaction??????

Looks like an over-reaction and abuse of prosecutorial authority to me, based on the ‘victim’s’ own statement.

So how did they find out?

Det. Sgt. Greg Knapton of Peel's Special Victims Unit said Calautti was charged because of her position of authority over a student. He described the sexual assault as being "minor" in that it involved an allegation of leg touching.

"There is no suggestion any sexual intercourse took place. The other offences involve conversations between them in their residences.

"These are offences because she is in a position of authority and he can't consent because he's not 18."
