Listen for yourselves and let us know what you think about the current Rhode Island law that allows for teachers and other school employees to have sex with students once they have turned 16. James Parisi of the UFT opposes the bill. I (Erika Sanzi) support it.

The bill being discussed, HB 5817, would make it a crime—3rd degree assault—for teachers and all school employees/workers to have sexual relationships with students even after they’ve turned 16.
