The jurors and judge in this case appear to have "acted stupidly" - five years of taxpayer money to incarcerate a woman for having sex with 18-year-old men? Sorry Texans, but that's really dumb.
Wait wait wait.
What?
She got 5 years?
For fornicating with people who can give legal consent?

I'll be the first to admit that I definitely have a double standard on most of these women/boy cases although I have come to really look down on them when the boy is young and there is talk about relationships. I also understand the importance of not allowing students to be the prey of authority figures.
But 5 years for what was clearly a case of wham, gang bang, thank you ma'am with a group of basically adults. I'm not seeing it.
PS - this group sex thing seems to be a hobby of both her and her husband.
So it's backwards in your mind for teachers to not be allowed to sleep with their students? Wow.
If the students are above the legal age of consent, then it should be a matter of employment termination, not big-government state interference into consensual interpersonal affairs and incarceration.
BTW - Texas isn't the only state where it's illegal for teachers to have sex with students who are otherwise old enough to consent.
