A fifth-grade math teacher in Louisville, Kentucky, was arrested after allegedly having a “sexual conversation” with one of her students during distance learning. Sydnee Graf has been arrested and charged with purchasing or facilitating the electronic use of a child, according to Louisville Metropolitan Police. […]
Prosecutors requested a restraining order preventing Page from contacting the suspect, but the magistrate judge dismissed the request, citing the student’s age and the relationship between the suspects being described as consensual.
Louisiana law still prohibits such relationships because of the power imbalance between teachers and students when the student is at least 17 but younger than 21 and the teacher is four years older and works at the student’s school. The law also prohibits lewd or lascivious acts, including sexual contact, in person or directly.
One of Page’s fans, who described himself as his relative, defended him on social media on Friday, calling him an “award-winning teacher who is loved by his students.” The woman says Page placed herself at a club drinking with an 18-year-old student who “kept kissing Teddi,” but denied they had sex.
“The situation has been completely distorted,” the woman wrote. “He doesn’t deserve to be portrayed as a child abuser or sexual abuser.”
The next court hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10.
