Sexual abuse by teachers, coaches, and school staff is becoming more and more transparent as teacher and school accountability becomes valued by the public. All too often, local and national news sources report on teachers, T.A.’s, school coaches, or other school staff members engaging is sexually abusive relationships with underaged students who attend the schools.
