If she stated she admitted, why is she pleading not guilty? Also I wonder how much more time would be served on the additional Xanax charge. Man, to go from starting your Career and your married life.. to possibly 15+ years for taking advantage of someone's kids..

Agree, though I'm cheered by the relative lack of saucy headlines and refrains of "Wish I was back in Grade X LOL" catcalls. As someone who has had to deal with this, it can be a deeply confusing and unsettling experience, and even a personally dangerous one, given the power and age imbalances associated with it, let alone the local gossip and social media notoriety.

We seem to see versions of this case over and over, without serious investigation or consequences. Maybe this is changing.

I see probation. But great points.. I get it, depending on what "point of view" you have, teen with hormones, Teacher wanting to be the popular girl she never got to be, Parent trying to get the most out of their kid, Onlooke from a barstool wishing that was him or her in highschool, or someone that sees it black and white because how can you draw another line, or double standard, when a standard and law is set.
