by KEVIN BESSLER | The Center SquareFILE - Legislation would charge teachers and others for sexually abusing 18-year-old students. In Illinois , it is not illegal for an educator or staff member to have a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old student, but some Republican lawmakers want to change that.
The legislation would make abuse by a teacher involving sexual conduct a Class A misdemeanor for the first offense and a Class 4 felony for a subsequent offense. State Sen. Terri Bryant, R-Murphysboro, said kids can’t afford to wait any longer for this issue to be addressed. The bill unanimously passed the House last month. Elik called on the Illinois Senate to pass the bill before the end of spring session next week.
