Silver Spring Township Police said they began their investigation after associate principal Rob Martin was informed by an 18-year-old female student that she was looking through a male student's cellphone, with his permission, and found a conversation between the male student and Nesbit she thought was sexual in nature.In accordance with a plea deal, Nesbit was preliminarily sentenced to probation. Formal sentencing will occur on December 16 after a review by the Pennsylvania sexual offender assessment board.
When police interviewed the male student, he told officers he would meet with Nesbit in her classroom at the end of the school day, and said they had held hands, kissed and had sexual contact, police said. The two had been communicating regularly for about two months, police said.
Police indicate the student and Nesbit had exchanged provocative photos of each other, and messages from Nesbit on the student's phone indicated her desire to have sex with him, and inferred past sexual activity, police said.

I believe that the "harm" in this case is more theoretical than practical (or actual); I was privileged to serve as a teacher for more than 30 years, and I know a good deal about adult high school students, and while both parties exhibited poor judgement, the long-term effects upon the student (who as an adult should not be shielded from press exposure)are not as well addressed by a necessary but rigid professional code than they are by the male protagonist in the film "Summer of '42."
