What legal trouble could a teacher face for a relationship with a minor?
I fancy a teacher in school. He is young and is about 25 years old. I will be turning 16 soon. He has been responding to my flirty messaging for a while now but won’t go the whole way. I don’t like it when he talks to other older girls. I want to show him that I can satisfy him just as much. He refuses to do anything. If we do engage sexually and somehow it gets out, how much of a trouble will it be for him?
