Teacher/adult student relationships could be illegal in Illinois

It could soon be illegal in Illinois for a teacher to have a sexual relationship with an adult student.

The bill, HB4241, passed unanimously in the Illinois House that criminalizes relationships with students 18-23, if the educator is at least four years older than the student. Currently, educators in the state can be fire if they’re sexually with a student but not charged criminally. Charges would range from a misdemeanor to felony, depending on the number of students and the nature of the conduct.
