St Xavier HS Staffer Charged with Sexual Battery
I am not sure what to think about this situation. On one hand she is an adult (42 years old, married, has kids) and the student was 17 years old when this happened, which in Ohio you only have to be 16 to consent. Obviously she made some very bad decisions. Maybe because he is a male and not a female the optics seem different. Is the Prosecuting Attorney is going to be able to prove he was never a willing participant? What from I can understand the student is now 18 years old so if this goes to trial it will be in regular court (not juvenile).
