City officials are taking a close look at the case of an 18-year-old special needs student who was allegedly impregnated by a D.C. Public Schools teacher. The teacher has since been dismissed due to budget cutbacks, but the incident poses an interesting legal question: Should the teacher be punished?
Professor Paul Butler provided legal commentary to a D.C. Fox 5 News story by Karen Gray Houston regarding the legal implications of the story. Could the teacher be criminally charged, even if the student "consented" to the relationship? Watch the video to find out.
