For Missouri teachers screwing students off school grounds, your dirty, dirty ways could be banned by the Show-Me State real soon.
I guess I should have read the current law because I had no idea that teachers sexing students off school grounds was even legal. But no more, say Missouri lawmakers. They want to make nailing students off school grounds illegal, just like it is on school property and on school buses. Oh, and school board members, your days of screwing students are over, too.
"This may not be a situation that occurs at all, but if it does, this
gives you the ability to do something about it," Phil Hutchinson, who
has served for 10 years on the Grain Valley school board, told the Associated
Press. "This is something that really shouldn't happen, period."
The punishment for screwing a student: up to four years in prison if
convicted. The only person who can preserve teacher-student sexual relations is
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon. Just a guess, but I'd count that as unlikely.

I was leaning that way, but it is hard to draw that conclusion just from seeing
"The new law would make a person who works or volunteers at a school and has sexual contact with
a student guilty of a class D felony, regardless of where the infraction took place"
This story (http://missouri-news.org/news/... wasn't very specific.
I have concerns. I am an employee (IT Technician) and a student of a major St Louis university. I am support staff, non-instructional.
So according to this law, if I and another 27 year old student student have sex, I've committed a Felony solely due to my employment?
What if I am a married college professor and my wife decides to take a class, do we have to refrain from sex for the semester?
Is this regulation restricted to only primary/secondary education?
Is there such a thing as consenting adults anymore?
Am I going to have to choose between my job and celibacy?
The first story I read about this (http://missouri-news.org/news/...
was VERY vague with no mention of any age/setting restrictions.
Incorrect. When I was in HS back in 2001 in North East MO, My English teacher was engaged to a 5th year Senior. He was over 18 and they lived together, rode to and from school together everyday.....and there was nothing they could do about it. Consenting adults.
The teacher was only 23. Not a huge deal to be dating an 18yo.
Last I heard, a few years ago, they were still married and she was still in the same teaching position. As she should be.
I'm guessing the legality hinged upon whether the student was "of age". I think MO's age of consent is 17, which means a teacher would have faced no jail time for getting with a high school senior. (Legalities aside, the teacher would obviously be fired and never ever work again in education.)
Now they can officially add the prospect of jail time to their career banishment...unless it's a woman, in which case she's obviously mentally ill and will be remanded to the custody of a psychiatric hospital so they can fix her.
