Interesting that the good people of Washington state have to rely on a British tabloid to identify a child rapist/predator in their midst. Yikes. Talk about a double standard. The comments under the WA article say it all. If this were a male teacher, he'd be named and tarred and feathered. Not OK.

Im getting laid by my teacher': Woman arrested for having affair with her student after he confesses to uncle
"A female teacher at a Washington State school has been arrested and placed on leave after allegedly having sex with a 17-year-old student.
Barbara Jeanne Anderson, 37, was booked into King County Jail last week suspected of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor and was released pending charges after a pupil's mother grew concerned about the maths teachers relationship with her son. Court documents also revealed the student had told his uncle he was getting laid by a teacher...."
and
"...A police investigation began on March 8 when the pupils mother approached staff at Kentlake High School after she discovered an inordinate number of text messages between her son and the teacher..."
and
"...Anderson sent almost 800 text messages to the boy between January 15 and February 21, including more than 100 texts in one 24-hour period...."
and
"...Police allege the maths tutor groped the boy in her classroom and later drove him to a housing development near his home where she performed a sex act on him. The age of consent in Washington is 16 but statutes make exceptions for teachers or other adults in positions of authority to have sexual relations with anyone under 18...."

Kent math teacher accused of having sex with student
No identification but we do learn that she's married. That's helpful, isn't it?
Interesting how this compares with the arrest and rape charges against an OK coach for having consensual sexual contact with an 18 year old student. The law there calls it rape if the younger person is a student under 20. I'm not so sure I can agree with that. We have a thread on that case. Slightly O/T, but once again, the age of consent is so confusing. It's 16 in Washington but if you drive across the Columbia River bridge into Portland, OR, it's 18. How in the heck are kids supposed to keep this all straight?
