  An Olmsted Falls High School teacher, who resigned last month, has been indicted on felony charges for having sexual relations with an 18-year-old male student.
  
  The Cuyahoga County Grand Jury charged Kristin Ostmann, 25, of Medina, with four courts of sexual battery. Each count carries a maximum of five years in jail.
  
  According to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, Ostmann, a science teacher, obtained a room at the Red Roof Inn in Middleburg Heights on four occasions — Feb. 18, 19, 25 and March 4.
  
  A concerned parent brought the relationship to the attention of school officials on April 8. The district immediately launched an investigation.
  
  Ostmann, who is in her first year with the district, was told to stay home during the investigation. She resigned on April 13.
  
  Olmsted Township police met with school officials April 13. Police Chief John Minek said the school district did an “excellent” job in its investigation into the allegations.
  
  
  
  “We then followed up with a criminal investigation that led to the indictment,” Minek said.
  
  As required, school Superintendent Todd F. Hoadley notified the Ohio Department of Education and Olmsted Falls High School Principal Bob Hill contacted Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services.
  
  District officials notified staff and parents about the investigation and the teacher’s resignation.
  
  Ostmann will be arraigned at 8:30 a.m. May 13 in the Cuyahoga County Justice Center, 1200 Ontario St., Cleveland.
  
  
  

  The student was 18 years old. What does the OC think of the sticky situation she is in?

  Anyone see the south part about the teacher getting it on with ike? I think about that every time i read these things.
  
  I would've had no problem banging some of my teachers in high school. But if he's 18 why is it assault?

  Obviously they are OC members and met on here.

  I'm guessing that since there is a student-teacher relationship, age is not a factor since she is in a position of authority over the kid (let the jokes begin).

  18 year old student + teacher = IMHO:
  No criminal charges, So many hours of counseling and two years probation.
  License revoked permanently (so much for that hard work to be a teacher).
  
  Why did she not wait until after he graduated in four months, buy a toy and some batteries.

  Finally a story worthy of the OC.

  I don't believe she should be charged. Lose her license, absolutely.

  Believe me, none of my college buddies worked "hard" for their teaching degrees, unless you count sitting around and playing Halo/Call of Duty/NBA Jam as "hard work".

  18 Year Old Student
  Let go back to 1967 Belly 18 years old
  Drinking 3.2 Beer and the hard stuff
  Smoking Pot
  Draft age
  Can’t bonk anything under 18 year old now
  No curfew
  
  
  If this was a situation in 1967 and I was that 18 year old kid and she was over the age of 18 years old … I would be a neighborhood hero
  She would have to move out of the area ... and given a great review from the school board.

  No way should charges be filed. I'm not sure about her teaching license.

  Yeah, I get why charges were filed here, though I'm not convinced I would support the action strongly. A teacher has the ability to affect someone's grade just as a boss would have the ability to affect an employee's performance review. However, a boss does not commit an illegal offense by doing the dirty with his employee. He just puts himself in a bad situation here. I think the same should apply to student/teacher interaction, provided the student is deemed a legal adult.
  
  If not a legal adult, then I could of course see the difference.

  I think if I was the student in question, I'd be more than willing to spray some sticky situation on her.

  Fucking teachers these days. I would have loved to bend ol' Mrs. Leichty over the desk....
• Fab4Runner

  

  It wasn't long ago that I was 25 and I can honestly say that I don't care how attractive the guy is...I wouldn't bang a high schooler. Ever.

  The article says sexual battery. I'm guessing that's it.

  A teacher having sex with a student. In most states, that's a crime by itself, regardless of the ages (just like a counselor having sex with a patient).
