"...the teacher did wait 5 years after the book was published..."

The book just came out.

The book just came out. 

You may be thinking of a different book than what's being referred to in this article.  The video at the New York Post page makes things more clear than the article does, in that Gloria Allred holds up a copy of the book in question.

[Above My Pay Grade]

The article says it came out in 2005. I think there is an error in the article where it reads “5 days” instead of “5 years”.
