Teacher-Student Relationship and Child Molestation Laws

Although it is not illegal for teachers to have sex with students over eighteen years of age, California has laws that protect minors from sexual abuse at the schools. In California specifically, any type of sexual contact a teacher has with a student under 18 years old is prohibited by law. Penal Code 261.5: Statutory rape is defined as having illegal intercourse with someone under 18 years of age. Minors are not able to legally give their consent to any sexual activity. Punishments for statutory rape vary depending on the age gap between the victim and perpetrator, for example $2K fines if there are less than 2 y ears in the age gap. When the perpetrator is over 21 years of age and the child is under 16 years old, the perpetrator could face up to $25K in fines, along with felony charges and time behind bars. Penal Code 288: Any type of lewd act with a minor child is against California law, as stated in the code. Lewd acts include any type of touching over or under the clothes with a child under 14 years old. Lewd acts can be punishable by felony charges and up to 8 years of jail time and having to register as a sex offender. Penal Code 647.6: The code prohibits annoyance or molestation of a child who is under 18 years old. It institutes it as a misdemeanor offense, and it can be punished by up to one year of jail time and fined to a maximum of $5K. An adult could be fined for this by even just arranging to meet with an intent of child molestation. Multiple violations of this can be charged as a felony and the adult can face two to five years in prison. Title IX Law: This law is regarding sexual discrimination, which is prohibited in all schools. School districts put ‘grooming behaviors’ under the sexual harassment category and investigate the claims as they would sexual misconduct incidents. The grooming behaviors could result in conviction.

Teachers’ Mandatory Duty of Care

Teachers have a duty to not only instruct and educate their students without bias, prejudice, or discrimination, but to also provide a safe space for their students and protect them from harm while they are under their supervision. California teachers are considered mandatory reporters for any type of child abuse. If they receive any report or a suspicious of any child abuse occurring, they have the duty to report it verbally and written to the police/county welfare/ or probation department. They must report the abuse in a reasonable time, within 36 hours, and provide a name and contact information as part of the investigation. The schools have liability when it comes to child abuse. They are responsible for having employees sign a statement of awareness of the law, for providing the proper training to employees about how to spot child abuse, and how to assist and report the abuse. There is a criminal penalty for teachers and schools when they fail to report child abuse. It can be punishable with up to six months in jail and a $1K fine. They can also be sued in civil court.

At what age girls become more beautiful?

Researchers have found that women in their late 20s and early 30s are considered more attractive than fresh-faced 18 and 19-year-olds -- and they reach the peak of their beauty at the age of 31.

indiatoday.in - Women 'look most beautiful at 31' - India Today

By PTI: They are no doubt the fair sex, but women look most beautiful at the age of 31, a new study has claimed. Researchers have found that women in their late 20s and early 30s are considered more attractive than fresh-faced 18 and 19-year-olds -- and they reach the peak of their beauty at the age of 31. The findings, from a survey of the opinions of over 2,000 men and women, found that beauty was as much rooted in personality as appearance, 'The Daily Telegraph' reported. When asked when women are at their most attractive, more people picked 31 than any other age. Beauty was defined as being confident by 70 per cent of respondents, having good looks by 67 per cent and being stylish by 47 per cent.
