An English teacher at an Oklahoma high school is charged with second degree rape
(http://www.ktul.com/story/25495468/former-kellyville-teacher-charged-withsecond-degree-rape) following an alleged inappropriate relationship with a student.
Investigators say that Thompson had worked at the school for less than a year when
she began texting with a 17-year-old male student in December. The text messages

soon took on a sexual nature, administrators told police, and the relationship
allegedly began to escalate.

In a police interview, the victim, who is in his junior year, told investigators that he
had sex with Thompson twice -- once at a local lake and once at a Tulsa motel.

Comment
According to police, the victim was "flunking English last semester but currently has a
98 percent grade point average."
Police said the boy's mother asked the teacher not to contact her son outside of school
after she discovered texts from Thompson on his phone, but the suspect persisted.
High school staff found out about the relationship in April after two other students
saw Thompson in the victim's truck away from school, took photos, and reported it.
Parents were shocked (http://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/glenpool/formerkellyville-high-school-teacher-arrested-for-alleged-inappropriate-relationship-withstudent) to learn of the allegations.
"You send your kids to a small town school thinking they're going to get a better
education, because it's more one-on-one. You don't expect to hear about a teacher
messing with their student," Michael Sullivan -- who just enrolled his 14-year-old
daughter at the school -- told KJRH.
Thompson bonded out of jail Monday. Police say a second charge is likely.

nope, not true. It is illegal for a college professor to have a relationship with
a college student (of the same campus) as well, for the very same reason:

Sex for exchange of money, favors or anything of value amounts to prostitution. I'd tack
this charge on her too. This kid is beyond the legal age for consensual sex. I'd nail him
with solicitation to prostitution. It was consensual and wrong. Charge them both.

What is with all these female teachers who can't control their sex drive? When a
teacher commits these types of crimes, the male teachers almost always get harsher
sentences than female teachers do.

get busted before they figure it out?

This just adds to the complex I had growing up thinking I was ugly as sin - girls didn't
hit on me, gays didn't hit on me (would have said no but it would have been flattering)
and now I have to add to the list that the hot teachers didn't hit on me - gee thanks.
