Republican House Minority Leader Greg Lavelle's call for a crackdown on teacher sex abuse comes after the arrest this week of a 38-year-old Sussex Tech teacher on charges of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student. Lavelle noted Friday that more than a dozen Delaware teachers have been charged with alleged sexual misconduct over the past five years, a number he find disturbing.
Lavelle said he wants to work with fellow lawmakers and Democratic Attorney General Beau Biden to help craft a strategy to reduce teacher sex abuse. He said officials need to consider not just tougher penalties, but strategies to prevent such abuse in the first place.
