BENTON, Mo. — Within one week’s time, two Kelly High School educators were charged with having sex with students.
In a letter he sent to parents Wednesday, Nov. 8, Kelly schools superintendent Bradley Kolwyck said the district is providing additional counselors at school for staff and students. He is encouraging parents to call the Scott County Sheriff’s Office or the Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline if parents have any information or concerns that “may be related to these or similar matters.”
Despite rumors to the contrary, Kolwyck said the district is only aware of two instances of allegations of inappropriate contact.
The article actually states that per law in the state the students could have been adults and as such it could otherwise be considered consensual.
Not that I’m defending what happened, but it’s possible that is the actual reason for this language.
