Jeremy Rossen and your tabloid crap are absolutely ridiculous. Would you do the same story with a male teacher that assaulted a female student regardless of her belief it was appropriate. This story perpetuates the objectification of women. Once again shame on you.

"It's a doozy" Savannah says with a gleam in her eye at the end of the interview... pure crap... if the roles were reversed they'd be hanging the guy...

Lol, its objectification. It's just law of nature, no normal teenage boy would count that as rape. Shes beautiful. I wish I was that lucky.

She is NOT beautiful. She is a lying tramp. She crossed the line... PERIOD. And now NBC is letting her get an extended 15 minutes of fame. She, her mom and their attorney are all fame wh*res. It makes me sick that they are making her out to be a victim. If the tables were turned, a male teacher with a female student, this story would not be the same, regardless of if the student and her family cooperated or not!

I agree with Torres.. Julie Inman is an evil person.

she's quite homely. that probably has a lot to do with her low self esteem, and she's displaying that by the fact that she's having an affair with a silly high school boy. Like, that's the best she can do? she needs to have sexual power over someone and obviously a younger, less experienced 'boy' is gonna give her the validation she needs. Pretty obvious...Psych 101 really.

When are you guys finally going to tell the story of one of the biggest problems in this country? The story of our corrupt, dysfunctional judicial system.

Sure, we need the system, but it desperately needs to be overhauled and have some sort of quality assurance implemented. As it is, it's runaway power and corruption.

The police simply want to use their guns and badges to arrest someone, guilty or innocent; that's a good day for them; ruining someone's life. They're like schoolyard bullies all grown up and issued a gun and badge; and NO, they're NOT heroes (a very overused term that should be reserved for our troops)! Then their hapless victim gets thrown on the conveyor belt of a system that only wants to add check-marks tallying up a high "conviction rate." They only care about whether a case can be convicted-that's ALL they care about, themselves. The DA and the judges play from the same scorecard, and justice goes out the barred windows. They do this act under several guises like "speedy trial" which really only speeds up their production rate and lessens the justice even further. I am embarrassed to have served this country both in the military, then later as an air traffic controller. In ATC I took my job very seriously; every single life that I held in my hands was sacred and it would have devastated me to have lost even one life. DA's and judges ruin lives as a matter of practice and have absolutely NO concern whether or not they make a mistake; like they did in my case. It ruined my life and my children's. The sociopath who threw me under that bus continues to enjoy life embezzling from and using others in a game of manipulation and abuse. I could tell you the rest of the story and prove my claims; if only someone cared enough to listen and help.

OMG.....BIG DEAL...........NFL cheerleader and teacher accused of having sex with a student........Back in the old days before the government got involved in peoples lives.........they use to marry at ages that to me were unspeakable....12, 13, 14 of age. The parents arranged it. I "CAN" understand that older guys taking advantage of younger girls is a bad thing!!! Because the younger girls could be easy prey. So, the younger girls need to be protected against these men. But, a younger man persuing an older woman is every younger man's dream!!! Most of the time if, not all of the time, the young man is persuing the older woman for sex. How is that a crime if, the younger man "knowing full well" what he is doing, is trying to get into the pants of the older lady?! To me it is BS!! The judicial authorities should stay out of meddling in consentual sex between a boy of 17 with an older lady. Don't you think he knows what he is doing? That boy knows what he is doing. He is seducing her. Every boys dream......Spend the taxpayers money persuing more important evil crimes. Like what is being done about all the kidnapped girls and boys that are forced into the sex trade by evil men overseas and in this country. You never hear anything about law inforcement doing anything to curb that. Or to protect our children from these evil men........I never do!! These reports are getting to be stupid and anyone who pays credence to them needs to get a life!!

I don't see that it's that big of a deal. It would be different if this was a teacher who habitually preyed on students and coerced them into a sexual relationship, using their authority as a teacher to do it. If this was a teacher who seduced a new student every semester or even every year, it would be different. But that's not what happened here. I think laws against child sex abuse serve a purpose - but not in this case.

Here we have a case where the teacher and her student knew each other for years BEFORE she ever became a teacher - they had been friends for years. This was a relationship that developed naturally, over time, and outside of the school setting. This wasn't a case of a teacher coercing a student, at all.

A 17-yr old is almost "legal". And it wasn't all that long ago that some states allowed kids who were 16 and over to get married - granting them the "age of majority". Kids today are light years beyond their same age cohorts of 20-30-40 years ago. Kids grow up faster and are exposed to more adult content - on TV and in life - at a MUCH earlier age.

This wasn't a case of her pursuing him; it was exactly the opposite. And although neither of their parents knew it at the time, when they were told about the relationship, they all supported their children. THIS IS WHAT GOOD FAMILIES DO. (They don't throw their children - or any other family member - under the bus, in other words.) So, I feel for the mother who lost her job, as well. This is a case where no one had to get hurt.

As a genealogist, I work with a lot of historical documents like census and marriage records. I can't begin to tell you how many instances there are of young girls (13-16, which was the average age of marriage here in KY for most young girls) marrying men much, much older. The state of adolescence only exists as a psychological construct and only since the 1940s.

If this was the case of a much younger student, say 13-15, I might change my point of view - but that's not the case here, where the student was only months away from turning 18, anyway. And here we have a case where the former teacher and former student are now a couple, and out in the open. I just think we should take these situations case by case - prosecute the truly lecherous and leave the true relationships alone. In this case, no harm was being done.

It might be every boy's dream, but I do feel that this was wrong. As soon as she was aware of his feelings she should have told him they would have to wait until he either graduated or she left the school system, since that was the legal issue. 17 is the legal age of consent in KY, so he was old enough. She just should have had enough self-confidence and integrity to be the adult, and then once he was an adult also, and no longer a student, they could do whatever they wanted. We have a female teacher at my daughter's high school who did that very thing several years ago, she and "the boy" who was 5 years younger are still married and pillars of the community. They waited and did things maturely. It's the fact that this lady was acting in a way that "made all the girls jealous if their boyfriends had her as a teacher" (her words in the interview)...I mean, come on, she is not so stunning of a beauty that she would unknowingly turn all the boy's heads. She obviously carried herself in a way that got their attention, and she liked it. That is a disruption in the classroom, and if she was so concerned about the students' education, that should have mattered to her. They said they tried to hide it. Well, somehow someone found out about it. So it had to be the way they acted around each other. And that is innappropriate. Teens can't learn in that environment. As a mom, I am concerned about my child's emotional education as well as her academic one and I would be PISSED if this happened in her classroom. There's no way a teacher can be an effective educator if constantly worrying about getting caught...making sure she is covering all her tracks, etc. This whole situation is simply happening too much lately. As a principle, I would be cautious about hiring a young cute thing directly out of college to teach senior boys (and vice versa, too..come to think about it). One of my daughters is a 20 yr old cutie who is in college to be a highschool chemistry teacher. She'll graduate at 22 and be teaching 17, 18 yr old boys. I take every opportunity to discuss this problem with her...educate her on the fact that she cannot be "friends" with these kids, she has to put on her "teacher face" and never be alone with them. Never ever text them, etc. It's too easy to become emotionally attached to members of the opposite sex that you spend that much time with, and who adore you, look up to you, and pay you lots of attention. I think our colleges should add a little something about this to its curriculum. Add a psychology class that teaches why insecure women might subconsciously be trying to re-live their glory highschool days by dating the star football player...and the repercusions of this act.

And after many years working in the school system myself, I must say that there also needs to be harsher rules about teacher conduct in the classroom (and out of the classroom). For example, NO texting unless it's a mass text going out to the whole team. No driving kids home. No meeting up with them later to "work on projects". And if you are a parent experiencing any of the above, you'd better keep a close watch on your child. And if you are a teacher who has the potential of being in this situation, believe me when I say that the other faculty know. We can spot "those" female teachers a mile away. Very trendy dress..on the verge on innappropriate, just enough to raise eyebrows, but not enough to get a memo about. Lots of laughing, playing, lack of control in your classroom, you always have the most student support in after school clubs, etc (mostly males, but females also..mainly not trusting their BF's with you), when asked about it (like I'm sure you have been) you say that you love all your students, and you're like one big family, all good friends...or if a little older, you say that you're students are having a tough time at home (what teenager doesn't?) and you're just their mentor. Whatever you say...if you don't have your teacher face on, if you're driving them home, or spending any time alone with them, and if you EVER text them...you are on the verge of being a predator. So please stop. There's still time to act like an adult and teach these kids. That's what they need from you.

And one more thing...back to the Sarah Jones case...I didn't like her attitude at the end. She sounded smug and proud to flaunt their ongoing relationship which is legal now, but it wasn't last year. And I hate to say it, he seemed like a nice kid and all, but whenever he spoke he just sounded like an immature boy who is smitten by the first ###### he's ever had.

I'm pretty stunned by the many posts supporting this sick woman and her mother. The frightening this is both of them women are educators (and the mother actually a principal). Neither had any integrity or moral fiber. This relationship is a total and complete joke. This young boy thinks he has a "hot" cheerleader. There has been a series of married sick white woman teachers in the country who prey on their students and overwhelmingly they get a slap on the wrist and everyone talks about how "lucky" these young boys are to be able to have sex with an older woman. We live in a very, very sick society 'for starters, the notion that woman are commodities and nothing but sex objects is problematic. This "boy" is a high school student. She's a college graduate and professional. This alone said there is something seriously wrong with this woman. It's just sick naiveté.

This was once again a total waste of taxpayers money. If originally it was an administrative matter by the school trying to remove her as a teacher without involving the police I wouldn't have a problem with that. Clearly teachers aren't suppose to sleep with their students. But to involve the police in a matter of a woman teacher and a male student, is just a waste of money. I also think the law, not sure if I misinterpreted it, of making it illegal for a teacher to not have sex with a former student after they've graduated high school and are of legal age, is ridiculous. If you disagree with me on all this fine, just tell me what exactly Law Enforcement accomplished other than wasting the taxpayers money when the matter could have been resolved administratively and internally within the school system and gotten the same results- her no longer teaching.

As a 17 yr. old, all I could think was how lucky that guy was. But I think anyone who demonizes her, is simply not contempt with their old age or has failed to find true love because they would not break societal taboos to achieve their own happiness. This is just another story where the justice system has sought a victimless crime. Yet unlike other cases, they have chosen to smile, depriving the system of a win. I hope the love they claimed was true and that it wasn't glorified for media appeal.

I wish I had a hot teacher.

Would be a completely different story if it was a male teacher.
