Yesterday the 42 year old former Roseville High School French teacher was sentenced to 3 years probation for having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old student she met at school. She was charged with 9 counts.

Her lawyer, David Griem got the charges reduced to 2nd degree because it was consenual she avoided mandatory jail time.

From the Free Press:
"Had Batkins not been the teen's teacher, she would not have been criminally charged because the age of consent in Michigan is 16. But a state law makes it a crime for teachers to have sex with students, no matter their age.

Griem said it's a bad statute."

I wonder how many of the men in this state who are teachers could do this and skate with a 3 year tether sentence. My guess is ZERO.
