At 17, they can be tried as an adult, so I don't see why the parents would be liable. It’s my understanding that they’re not.

Texas has, over the past 17 years, exonerated more than 2007 falsely convicted, (by juries) men for crimes they had been falsely convicted of. Are YOU prepared to entrust your life and the possibility of being falsely convicted and sent to prison because juries in America are incapable of making an equitable decision absent emotional interference. This may be a harsh critique of law abiding Americans but the facts are what they are. (source: Innocence Project of Texas: http://ipoftexas.org/ Please do not misunderstand my position. The actions of the teacher should require that he be dismissed and never be able to teach again. Good luck with that! That having been said, women in America have a passion for lying and falsely accusing men of crimes purely out of spite. With more than 50,000 American men having their lives destroyed Nationwide- with Texas leading the way 8 to 1- because American women are freely allowed to commit the crime of perjury at with and without contest by a Court system, State and Federal, that appears hell bent on destroying as many American lives as possible, why in the world should any man take a chance to being incarcerated for a decade or more-FALSELY- because his future depended upon the irrationality of people sitting on juries, who appear completely incapable of rendering an equitable decision. Moreover, if this is consensual, then it really isn’t anyone’s business except her parents and her family.
