    She is a perpetrator if she had sexual relations with a student. Now if this is legal or simply against workplace policy and professional ethics is another matter. I'm CURIOUS, how old is the alleged victim? If he's 17 then he is not a victim unless he was raped....BECAUSE 17 is legal in the state of Louisiana.

    17 is not legal if the other person is a teacher in the same school system as the student.

    First of all in the state of Louisiana 17 is the legal age of consent. <--See that period? That's right it stops right there. Second it is unprofessional/ unethical for a teacher to be involved with a student. <-- Look there's another one! In Louisiana any Public Employee when found GUILTY in a court of Law for any Felony OR any Ethics Violation must resign their post but may return after a seven year period(may be 10 now). <-- Amazing dot. Registered Sex Offenders must reveal their locations of home and work to the neighbors within a 5 mile radius. YOU can only be a registered sex offender if you are found guilty of a sexual offense in a court of law. <-- You see what I did there? That's right I answered all of your questions. Leave your emotions at the door please; the media likes to exaggerate and lie when it suits them. So don't grab your pitchfork and torch just because you heard it on the news or saw it on A website. Educate yourselves and fight the ignorance within!

    So....I'm confused.... are you supporting her innocence by disputing the charges reported by the media? Or are you saying the media is reporting this incident incorrectly?
