Remember the teacher who moved in with his 18 year old student?
 

Well, he popped back up in the news today when he was arrested for sexually abusing a student - not the 18 year old he's living with, but another student a decade ago who came forward recently.

Who didn't see this coming?

News article:

MODESTO, Calif. (AP) ? A former California teacher who made national headlines when he left his job and family to move in with an 18-year-old student was arrested Friday on suspicion of sexually abusing a different student more than a decade ago, police said.

Christopher Hooker, 41, was arrested at his home and booked in Stanislaus County Jail on one count of oral copulation with a minor.

Police said the abuse occurred with a 17-year-old girl in 1998 when Hooker was a teacher at Davis High School in Modesto. The girl was a student at a different school, police said.

In a statement, police said Hooker befriended the 17-year-old. The department did not immediately return a call seeking clarification of how the two met.

Hooker appeared in court Friday. A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf, set his bail at $50,000 and assigned him a public defender, the Modesto Bee reported (http://bit.ly/HooJV2).

Hooker requested that his bail amount be reduced, and the judge set a hearing for Tuesday to consider the matter.

Police said the investigation started after Hooker announced his relationship in February with Jordan Powers, whom he taught at Enochs High School in Modesto.

Hooker has three children, including one who was a junior at Enochs.

The underage victim was discovered in the course of that investigation, police said.

Appearing on numerous national talk shows and in news interviews, Hooker and Powers maintained they didn't have a sexual relationship until she turned 18, but police are still investigating whether there was inappropriate contact before that.

In interviews for the "Dr. Phil" show and ABC's "Good Morning America," the couple can be seen holding hands and exchanging smiles.

Powers' mother, Tammie, confronted the couple on "Dr. Phil" and accused Hooker of brainwashing her daughter.

The couple maintains that, while they met when Jordan was 14, their relationship did not become physical until she was of age, making it permissible under current laws. California's age of consent is 18.

The Modesto Bee reported that Tammie Powers sent a text message to one of the newspaper's reporters Friday saying she and her daughter were catching a flight to an undisclosed location.

In response to the relationship between Hooker and Jordan Powers, a state lawmaker from Modesto last week proposed legislation that would ban student-teacher relationships regardless of age, even if the student is 18, and strip school employees of their pensions and retiree health care if they are convicted.

Republican Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen said her bill would prevent teachers from grooming students for relationships once they became adults. The bill would also forbid suggestive communication such as sexual text messages.

someone did not introduce this guy to whoremongering. he could have kept his job and family and had an army of 18yr old students banging his door down here or in any other 3rd world cash strapped nation for less than the cost of a tank of gas.

:2 cents:

Unrelated to whore mongering, I find it ironic that an industry who makes a huge effort to make some of their models look underage and sell baby doll teen and babysitter fantasy sites would be offended when an older man has sex with a 17 year old girl.

In many countries 17 is legal. Globally, the average age of consent is 16 years old. Even in some US states it's 16. There is no difference mentally or physically between a 16 year old and an 18 year old. Only a piece of paper says it's wrong and depending on what plot of land you're standing on that is defined by imaginary borders created by men and more paper, you may or may not be guilty of a wrongdoing. American law never ceases to amaze me.

Just caught that. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

its always news that and many companies contact stars at 16-17 like britney Spears to pose nude "when they turn 18" etc to offer them spreads... i wont name the company considering not hard figure out...

i have always found that odd but no one seems to care, its been in news many times. i believe i read they did this with lindsay lohan and britney spears among others.

I always thought 6 was the AOC in the US?

And they expect people to actually believe that? :1orglaugh

I call bullshit.

Fuck - Someone change that - It was meant to be 16!!! :error:error:error

Sex is a healthy natural enjoyable activity at any age without coercion.

What people do with their bodies is their business, it should only be a crime if a person is being forced to do something against their will.

Can't say I can support any law that curtails an 18 yr old's right to bang whomever they want. Underage - definitely, but once you turn 18 if you want to start banging your teacher, your doctor, your neighbor, your lawyer, or in my case your mother, they should be allowed to. Because once you're 18 it's no one's business but yours.

Passing such a law will be a mistake.
