all joking aside does no one else feel its wrong or at least unnecessary that the police investigate "inappropriate contact"? If they are living together she made her choice. Seems to me like police just trying to fuck this guy out of spite. Enforcing statutory after she's legal and still consenting to the "contact" seems more police state tactics rather than enforcing policies that promote general wellness in the "spirit" of the law.

Yes and no. I'll explain when i get around a real keyboard. It's a question of morals not (necessarily) the law.

A California student who left school, her family and her friends to live with her teacher boyfriend has ended the relationship after the teacher was arrested on charges of sexually assaulting another girl 14 years ago.

"He called me from jail and yes, I told him that we're done," Jordan Powers, 18, told ABC News in an exclusive interview. "I lost everything for this guy. I lost my senior year. I gave up all my friends at high school because they didn't agree with me."

James Hooker, 41, was arrested in Modesto, Calif., on Friday after police discovered he had an an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student in 1998.

Hooker has been under investigation for his involvement with Powers, his former business class student, with whom he appeared on national TV programs earlier this year to profess his love.

Hooker was charged with one count of oral copulation with a minor and is in jail, according to a statement from Modesto police.

"He told me that he met her online and he hung out with her just as friends and then he went to her house and she came out of the bathroom naked and he only touched her boobs and her legs," Powers said. "He was freaked out so he left and went home. He said nothing else happened, but all of that was a lie."

Despite the charges, Powers said nothing happened romantically between her and Hooker prior to her 18th birthday.

The teen said she believed the woman came forward now to help her see the truth about Hooker and rescue her from the relationship.

"My heart dropped. I felt betrayed. I just have a gut feeling there are other girls," Jordan Powers said.

Her mother, Tammie Powers, has publicly tried to end the romance from the beginning and expressed relief at Hooker's arrest.

"It's my contention all along that he used authority and that he's a predator," she said.

But a reconciliation between mother and daughter isn't happening just yet.

Jordan Powers said she is staying with a family friend in another state while she recovers from her heartbreak.

"How could he lie to me for all these months and look me in the eye and tell me he loves me?" she said. "I don't know how someone could have such a cold heart."

What is the statute of limitations on getting blown from a teen?

What is the statute of limitations on getting blown from a teen?

In TX it's until the victim turns 28. The wording says something to the effect of 10 years from their 18th birthday.

Not saying what the dude did was right, but everything I can find regarding the statute of limitations on sexual assault in CA is one year. I'll see if I can find the arrest warrant to see what he was actually charged with.

Edit:
This says he was charged with oral copulation with a minor. This (261.5) outlines the offenses and possible punishment. This (801.1) sets the statute of limitations at any time before the victims 28th birthday.

Maybe there's some other statute that increases the SoL in CA somewhere, but I can't find it.
