That's what I'm saying- it seems in a lot of these cases, the teachers get some bogus probation deal and a "you can't teach anymore" slap, while others charged with similar crimes get jail sentences. At least that is the way it seems to work out around here. Debra LaFarve (sp?) comes to mind as another well-known case. If one person goes to jail for that offense, everyone should. It's like teachers are less accountable, because they are (supposed to be) nice and educated and polite and not dirty and weird like "stereotype" of a pedophile. A pedophile is a pedophile, regardless of what they know, how they look, how they present themselves, etc.
