If you don't mind telling- what did you do that was deemed jailworthy, given that it was consensual and there wasn't intercourse, nudity?

My physical sexual contact was limited to petting over clothes, with a couple instances under clothes (with their permission, always -- while in many ways meaningless, I would not have done anything otherwise). The biggest aggravating factor, which ultimately is what made the judge give me jail time, was that there was more than one victim.

I sure didn't mind ;). I'd be quite shocked and even outraged if she had to go to jail, or got fired for that.

I don't think she should have to go to jail either. Jail truly does change a person, and rarely for the better. Jail is a breeding ground for criminogenic thinking. In terms of sex offenses, it has time and again been shown that jail is very rarely a deterrent. I might accept that it's a suitable sentence for denunciation and for punishment for some degrees of offenses, but it's rarely a deterrent. In reality -- that is, in today's social climate -- I think it's possible your teacher definitely would have been looking at jail time. I likely would not have seen jail time if my case had been to court a 5-10 years earlier. Things are definitely changing.

However, it is my opinion that your teacher should at a minimum have lost her job and been prevented from teaching again. Sure, you liked it, what teenaged boy wouldn't want that kind of contact from a good looking teacher! I can think of more than one teacher from my high school days that I'd not have put up much (i.e. any) resistance if they wanted to have their way with me. But a teacher is in a position of authority, and that kind of behavior is not appropriate for a student-teacher relationship. Also, that kind of behavior ("innocent" patting on the bottom) usually progresses over time to more invasive acts. It's called grooming.
