Palm Beach Post article on teachers who sleep with adult students

The Palm Beach Post has an article on teachers who sleep with legal age students. The case of Natalie Fraxedas is discussed, and well as that of English teacher Heather March. March was investigated for having sex with a senior High School student while working on their school yearbook.

In May, the rumor was that a student was bragging he was having sex with English teacher Heather March.

But when police tried to interview the student, he refused to discuss anything that happened outside Palm Beach County. When asked if he ever visited March's home in Palm City, he refused to answer the question on the advice of his attorney.

March, who resigned from Atlantic High earlier this month, acknowledged she kissed the student who she met while working on the school's yearbook but has denied having sex with him.
Suspicions about March and the student began in the spring when the student's ex-girlfriend said she saw the two off campus at a Dunkin Donuts. They appeared to be flirting and the girl surmised her boyfriend broke up with her to have a relationship with the pretty teacher. Another time the girl saw her ex-boyfriend visiting March's classroom.


March would later acknowledge she kissed the student in her classroom while the two were alone and also while at the beach. She also said they spoke on the phone and text messaged him.

In Louisiana and Arkansas, the AOC rises by three years to 20 and 21, respectively for teacher/student sex, and in Texas, Ohio, North Carolina, and three other states, teacher/student sex is a felony, regardless of the high school student’s age. New Jersey prosecutes sex with legal age adult students as official misconduct.
