I can understand guilty of violating school policy but it is an odd law. She is above age of consent in this state.
There was an 18 year old who got a teacher arrested over similar deal last year.
And this teacher was going through the motions of marriage (doesn’t sound like he was sneaking around her parents).

since teacher-student sexual activity is being reported more and more which would make it seem almost epidemic, just out of curiousity has anyone ever heard a comment on this from the
national education association ?
it would certainly be interesting to know if they are the least bit concerned about this immoral, unethical, and alleged criminal behavior by so many of their members.

Somehow I doubt police officer is job restricted for sexual encounters with the public.

In Texas any sexual relationship between a teacher and a student at the same school is a second-degree felony.
"I'm going to go visit mah Fifth Grade teacher, Miss Wilkins, at the Women's Prison. We had sex last October and she got 20 years in the slammer for it."

Slow news day.Yeah, teachers hitting on the kids has become so common. I'm surprised anyone pays attention.

Let me get this straight. In Texas, it’s legal for a 27 year old to marry a 17 year old, if the 17 year old’s parents give consent, but it’s a felony (punishable by up to 20 years in prison), if the 27 year old is a school teacher?
I’d say the laws in Texas need a little reconciling.

Why would anybody allow their child to attend a public school?

“Id say the laws in Texas need a little reconciling.”
He was arrested for having sex with his student prior to their wedding. From this story he seems like a good candidate to benefit from prosecutorial discretion.
P.S., note the totally inaccurate headline.

He was arrested for having sex with his student prior to their wedding. I missed that part. Was it in the story? I did see that they had been dating for a month. Your explanation certainly makes more sense.

“Arias asked her to the movies around the first weekend in March 2008 and then took her back to his apartment where they had sexual intercourse.”
That was easy, so was she.
To: kingattax
even though her parents gave consent.
This makes it seem a lot less of a crime to me.
