    Default School Teacher Dating a Minor

    I have read that it is legal but my friend who is 17 is dating a 23 year old who is a teacher but he is not her teacher and he doesn't work in the same district that she goes to school in. She does online school and he works with kids who are special needs children in the non online school so it is 100% different.

    They don't know about it they hangout when they are gone but she thinks they would be ok with it.

    The law does not take a stand on who may hang out at the mall together, go to the movies or school events, sit with at the basketball game, etc. The law is only concerned with sexual conduct. Since you have not indicated your state, I can only advise that her wisest move would be to keep all her clothes on.

    She is a minor. If her parents give her permission to date this guy she may. If her parents do not give her permission she may not. It really is that simple.

    She should ask herself, however, why a 23 year old is unable to find companionship with someone his own age.

    It is in Michigan and she says she might have sex with him soon. They found each other on a dating site. So since her parents don't know it is illegal?

    In Michigan, it's illegal for a teacher to have sex with a student of any age. So it's illegal because the law says so.

    I bet the district and the state licensing agency would be interested.

    OP is clearly not concerned, so his/her interest in someone else's relationship is perhaps misplaced.

    Hugely so.

    Michigan law appears to make it a crime for a teacher to have ANY sexual relations with someone who is a student (even homeschooled) under the age of 18. So, if he wants to risk jail and the loss of his career, he can be a complete moron and maintain this perverse relationship. Your "friend" is p[laying with a man's future and may be getting some sort of twisted sense of adventure out of the forbidden nature of their illicit affair.

    She says if they keep the sex a complete secret it is impossible for him to get into trouble is that true?
