Yeah, I have a real problem with this too. Some states make it a SEPARATE crime for a teacher to have sex with their student, regardless of age, basically. I seem to remember Texas had this -- where a teacher got her groove on with two or three 17-18 year olds (which is LEGAL ADULT AGE IN THAT STATE) but was facing serious jail time because they were her students.
IIRC, Massachusetts (just by comparison) has NO such crime, so here all that would happen is that the teacher would be fired (duh).
In my book, it's ridiculous that a teacher would face serious jail time for having sex with a student. Maybe you make it criminal, but the penalties should be light. It's NOTHING like having sex with a minor.
Ridiculous.
