Gmoser added: “Every prosecutor I’ve ever known, and in every state I’ve ever dealt with, takes cases involving teachers and students very seriously regarding sexual behavior and contact.
“We’re dealing with impressionable young minds, and an adult comes along who takes advantage of them.
“We take all crimes seriously, but I think we add a little extra seriousness to these types of trust crimes.
“Prosecutors can hold these people accountable to let them know we take this seriously.”
