hard to believe the act of writing suggestive acts in im or emails would be a felony even to minors. i would think more material evidence of willingness to perform the suggestive acts would be required. If he claims he was drunk when he wrote them , hard to say if he was in control of his emotions or booze/drugs. It is not unusual for phone alcoholics to call the world every night when they get smashed and not remember a thing the following morning. Perhaps during those lapses in memory they are full filling dreams or nightmares.

the emails happened, the im happened. he resigned, do not know if this warrants prosecution.

It was reported that specific sex acts were mentioned in the IMs, and if the kid had been underage, I believe there is something in the statutes that addresses that.


Nope. Nothing illegal there. That's why the cops always want the Emailer to show up to meet the kid. Then, you have an overt act. In this case, they knew each other. Even at 16, I doubt if there would be a court case.
