41-Year-Old California Teacher Leaves His Wife & Kids To Move In With His 18-Year-Old Student!
"An angry California mother is alleging abuse now
that her 18-year-old daughter is living with her
former high school teacher, who left his wife and
children to move into an apartment with the young
woman.
James Hooker, 41, quit his job after going public
with his love for Jordan Powers, who stopped
attending classes at her Modesto high school and
left home to be with her former business teacher.
The girl's mother is skeptical of the couple's
claims that nothing sexual happened between them,
and exactly when the relationship became physical
has become the center of a police investigation.
"She looked up to him," mom Tammie Powers said. "
[He was in the] position of an educator, [and you]
don't abuse your student. Period. She's still in
high school. She still lives at home. She has a
curfew. … That's not OK."
The couple maintains that their feelings for each
other blossomed slowly by spending time together
during and after school, and then via phone calls
and text messages. The two first met when Jordan
was a high school freshman at James Enochs High
School, but they say they only developed romantic
feelings after she turned 18 in September." - ABC
