Summary:According to her analysis, 9.6% of high school students have experienced some form of educator sexual misconduct during their school career. Some experts who have studied mandatory reporting laws for sexual abuse of children suggest that other alternatives, such as the construction of a clinical treatment plan for the minor and the offender in lieu of obligatory reporting, may lead to better protection for minors and improved treatment for offenders.24 Little literature exists specifically on the effects of educator sexual misconduct on children.
