I saw the news report on this last week and honestly for the people to say it's okay and that they are consenting adults please remember a few facts...
-He has known her since she was 14 since she was his student.
-He says he was just a teacher to her until she was 18 yet any after school activity she was part of he was the teacher for.
-They say nothing sexual started until she was 18 however other students have snapped pictures of her sitting on his lap during class, over 8,000 text messages where sent before her 18th birthday as well as hotel receipts.
-For trying to protect her daughter a mother was almost arrested.
-He left his wife and children, an eldest daughter one year younger than his 'girlfriend'.
Now if you are okay with student/teacher relationships turning into boyfriend/girlfriend relationships do not be surprised or mortified when your son or daughter starts sleeping with their teacher no matter the age! (In other words please have your heads examine!!)

A 41-year-old former teacher in California left his wife and kids -- and quit his job -- to be with his 18-year-old student, saying he knows that she's "the one." Are James Hooker and Jordan Powers in the right -- or is this all a big mistake?

What goes around, comes around.
Give it time. She'll find a replacement teacher.
Nice!
However, they can do whatever they want: but if he left his wife and kids for the sake of adultery, which it seems, then I'm against that aspect of their choices.
Age on the other hand, if maturely responsible and legal, shouldn't matter to consenting individuals.
