The following presentation is based on a true incident, in Oregon. The names have been left out because I don't remember them.
In a rural school district in Benton County, some years ago, there were rumors of a student/teacher romance. The male teacher was 21 or 22 and the female student 16 when the rumors began. She was a junior. She did not date anyone, and the couple was seen together outside of school.
So, this went on for her junior and senior years. She graduated, turned 18 very soon after, and they got married.
This was in a very small Oregon town. No charges were ever filed, no action taken by the school or school board, and no actions ever initiated by community members or the girl's parents.
Oh, and he continued to teach at the school.
Just wanted to add a little something to the pot...I'll let the rest of you stir it.
