1) Sexual harassment of students by teachers is prevalent, with 38% of sexually harassed students reporting the abuse was by a teacher. Sexual harassment includes quid pro quo harassment and creating a hostile environment. 2) Title IX and court cases like Franklin v. Gwinnett County have established protections and allowed monetary damages for students sexually harassed by teachers. 3) Prominent cases like Mary Kay Latourneau and Debra Lafave received media attention and resulted in criminal charges for teachers who had sexual relationships with students. Clear policies and teacher training are needed to prevent further abuse.
