Supplying alcohol, yeah, but how can it be sexual assault with an 18-year-old (presumably willing) “victim”?

Not guilty. And I don’t even have to see a photo of the teacher.

Where were all these teachers when I was in high school?

Poor picture, but I vote 'Not Guilty'.

I could see her getting administrative punishment because of her role as a teacher—definitely fire her and rip her teaching credentials. But if she did it with the boy on his 18th birthday? He’s legal. Not a felony, not even a misdemeanor.

And not guilty, either.

” “They’re playing with, not only their career, but their life, marriages. “

And because of this new trend, young horny teenage boys have become bolder in hitting on older women.
Now they think every woman over the age of 25 is a “cougar”, and their flirting is not appreciated by normal women.

"She had texted another teacher, you know, the thing about, 'I can't believe the mistake I've made,' and 'you won't believe what I've done.'"

Her and Detroit Mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, need to really think about who might be reading their text messages...

As a former teacher, I’m always horrified when stories like this make the news. A teacher sleeping with a student is about as inappropriate as it gets (except a President sleeping with an intern, but I digress).

That said, I don’t think a sexual assault charge is warranted here. The student was legally an adult, and barring any mental/emotional problems, was able to give consent. Prosecute her on the alcohol offense, revoke her teaching license, and call it a day.

I would submit that the kid knew exactly what he was doing.

Teacher should be fired. No questions asked. However, other than supplying liquor to a minor...this is a civil matter, not a criminal matter.

Arrest her for giving alcohol to someone under 21 years of age. Arrest him for drinking it.

He wasn't a minor at the time. The only reason I could see for charging her with sexual assault is if she used her position of authority to force him to have sex with her, and they would need to have some real evidence to back that up.

She should of course be fired from her job.

She should have used the “ Sorry I thought he was an intern defense”
