New Georgia law bans sex between teachers and students, despite student's consent
ATLANTA -- Legislation Gov. Sonny Perdue signed into law Friday aims to close what sponsors called a loophole created by a Supreme Court decision that exonerated an Augusta teacher who was convicted of sex with a student.
The state's highest court ruled last year that a law that prohibited sex between teachers and students included a defense for any teacher prosecuted if the student testified it was consensual. The court concluded the fact that the law at the time specifically excluded consent in other circumstances and not in the case of a teacher, that the General Assembly must have intended consent to be a valid defense.

The crime was that it was teacher/student sex. The right of consent has exceptions.

It's relevant if your readers think that infidelity is a worse sin than sexual abuse of a minor.
