    Because the state's Supreme Court says, teachers and of-age students can have at it...

    So if it's legal does that mean they aren't eligible for the Poin Files?

    Don't think it should necessarily be legal, but 30 years for boinking a legal adult in the eyes of the law is too much. Class A misdemeanor + suspension of teaching license is perfectly fine.

    In the case of educator and student, Texas maxes at 10 years no matter the age of either. I assume this law is written broadly enough to extend to college graduate school, although at that point no one would give a shit.

    What business allows you to fuck current customers or clients? Well, other than the obvious illegal answers.

    Literal fucking: Sex clinics.

    Figurative fucking: Banking, insurance, healthcare, title pawn.

    And how many times is that rule broken?
    The Arkansas court isn't saying school systems can't have their own rule on this and fire teachers who have affairs with students, even if the students are 18 or over. They're just saying it's not illegal.

    It's Arkansas. They also don't see the big deal about cousins having sex.
     
  9. Did the court say it couldn't be criminalized, or that teachers could not be fired?

    Those are two very different concepts.
