The Ultimate Winner
Their son had grown increasingly distant from the once close-knit family through his early teens, as Erickson, his middle school math teacher, manipulated the young boy into a twisted relationship that lasted from Aug. 2006 to Aug. 2009. The victim frequently lashed out at his father and the tension tore their family apart.
What are the ages of Middle School students ?
I guess early teens.
Boy was under the age of consent..."Courts deal in law not morality".
Have sex with the boy...guilty, no excuses acceptable.
Teachers supporting the guilty teacher? could well be seen as approving of his crime.
Probably should no longer be allowed near students...could they ever be trusted?

Now, if a male teacher is say 24, and the female student is say 17 [over the age of consent in the US?], and they fall in love and have sex, is that a crime in the US?
Depends on the state.
