When convicted, however, she will be labeled as a sex offender because of the nature of her position and violating the responsibility that she had.

Just about every state has statutory rape if it is a teacher or supervisory figure and a student under 18. For example, in Iowa, if you are 29, you can legally rail a 16 year old. If you are a 22 year old teacher, you go to prison if it is your 17 year old student.
