No charges filed, but district is firing the teacher.
June 5, 2008 - Complete story:
Trooper Steve Pavey said KSP (Kentucky State Police) was called several weeks ago by Grayson county School authorities concerning a complaint of sexual abuse or sodomy between a teacher, Adam Decker, and a 16-year-old girl at Grayson County High School.The teacher is "being fired" and is "now working in the private sector. "
After an investigation by Detective Matt Johnson no charges were filed. Pavey said relations between the teacher and student were consensual and therefore no laws were broken.
In Kentucky, the legal age of consent is 16 years. That law will change in July creating an exception for those in a position of authority such as teachers and scout leaders.
