Wait wait wait.

What?

She got 5 years?

For fornicating with people who can give legal consent?

My god, backwards state is backwards.

So it's backwards in your mind for teachers to not be allowed to sleep with their students? Wow.

They could not give legal consent to sex with a teacher. That's the law.

No, it's backwards for teachers who fornicate with of-age students to go to jail.

Lose their jobs, sure, that's perfectly understandable.

Go to jail, only if the students are under the age of consent.

Otherwise, it's a waste of time and money.

Exactly.

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.

And that law is crap and needs to be changed to make exceptions for 18+ students.

I understand "it's the law".

But that doesn't stop the law from being crap.

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.

Nope.

If the girls were of age of consent, I'd still be defending the teacher.

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.
