I find this perplexing:
A former teacher at Early High School turned herself in to police last week and was charged with having an inappropriate relationship with an 18-year-old male student.
Joy Blackstock, 23, was indicted May 1 by the Brown County grand jury. The indictment was sealed until she turned herself in May 8. Blackstock, who used to teach chorus at Early High School, was released on a $15,000 bond.
Logs at the Brown County Jail show Blackstock was charged with improper relations between an educator and student, a second-degree felony. If convicted, Blackstock faces two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
I don’t really understand how in the case of sodomy laws, the behind-closed-doors sexual acts of two consenting adults is found to be too private to be regulated, but when one of them is a teacher all bets are off. I mean, honestly, he was 18 years old.
Also? Ms. Blackstock is kinda hot. The “victim” is going to be bragging about this for the next 80 years.
