California Teacher's Aide and Boy, 14
[Previous 2/14/12 post]
(San Luis Obispo, California) A 20-year-old teacher's aide at Lillian Larsen Elementary School, Sarah Elizabeth Drown, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 14-year-old male student.

Drown faces four counts of statutory rape.

During an interview with sheriff’s Deputy Gower Slane, the student said he received two hickeys on his neck from an ex-girlfriend but later acknowledged that Drown had given them to him.

He then told the deputy that he and Drown had consensual sex several times starting in October. At the time, he was 14 years old.

When Slane advised the student that it’s inappropriate for a 20-year-old to have sex with someone under the age of 18, he replied: “The heart wants what the heart wants,” according to the report.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for February 29.
