Teacher Charged With Felony Institutional Sexual Assault, Even Though Adults Consented
Leiseth, 26, worked as a substitute English teacher in the New Brighton School District, northwest of Pittsburgh. The victims in the case were both taught by Leiseth, although the alleged sex acts occurred after classes had ended for the year.
Police launched an investigation in late May after they received tips that the teacher had sent nude photos to each of the young men.
“[Investigators] followed up on that rumor and they found those students, and they found the nude photographs, and they identified the teacher,” Moon Township Police Chief Leo McCarthy told CBS Pittsburgh.
In interviews with police, each victim described how he had been invited to Leiseth’s house, was offered beer, and then engaged in sexual activity with the teacher. The first student came over on the last day of school, in the hours following the end of classes. The second student said he visited Leiseth’s home the next day, according to police.
Leiseth lost her job in the wake of the allegations, but her attorney argued that since classes were over when the alleged acts occurred, she wasn’t their teacher anymore.
School was out. Three adults consented. Right or wrong?

She should probably be prosecuted for the beer but left alone for the sex. There are things here that go beyond the written law though. She shouldn’t be allowed to teach again even if everything happened after the school year.

No government need to stay out of this beast to individuals that they are 18 years of age is not government’s business whatsoever without she may have crossed the line far as ethics when it comes to teacher-student but that’s going to be up to the educational system to determine whether she violated any ethical behavior
