Really popular male teacher - early 30s, everyone's best friend - was sleeping with female students in his classroom on his desk. His door had a lock and a garbage bag over the door slit window, which we all found weird. He said it helped him focus when marking.

Eventually one of the girls grades were so bad that her parents started questioning her about it, and she basically confessed that her mental health was in the dumps because the teacher was sleeping with her, without protection, multiple times a week.

Once the school found out, the teacher was placed on leave, and all of a sudden all these other girls came forward as victims (privately, but scuttle spread quickly across the school). Must have been 8 or 9 in total by the end - turns out he was having sex / having them perform sex acts with multiple different students.

Was quickly charged and convicted after a guilty plea.

He was sentenced to jail time after pleading guilty to 4 or 5 different charges.

I don't recall the sentence being very long, but I can't recall now. I'll look it up later.
