I've told this story before, but I know a guy in another district who received, on his desk, an envelope containing a sexually explicit letter from one of his 7th grade students, a girl. I asked him, "What did you do?"
He replied, "Oh, man, I did not pass GO, I did not collect $200, I ran that thing straight to administration and reported it. Scared me to death".
The girl got called in, and the sort-of-odd part was, she wasn't some lost soul or anything. She was a straight-A student and a popular girl, from a solid and stable household, with no sign of anything being amiss. The letter was a kind of stepping-out cry for help, I guess. Wacky. I would have freaked out too. You just never know.
Another aspect of the sex/student thing happened in another place around here, where a guy went into Police Academy straight out of high school, got a job at the age of 20 with his hometown police department, and, incredibly, got assigned to patrol the very high school he'd graduated from!
He promptly got busted for getting himself a 17-year-old student for a girlfriend and having sex with her. He wasn't prosecuted, as 17 is legal age in that state, but he got canned for something like 'abusing a position of authority' or some such ethical charge. I really think that showed a frightening lack of judgement not only by the officer, but by the department who hired him. Personally, I think 19-20 is too young for anybody to be a cop. I mean, if they've done a hitch in the military first, sure, but straight out of high school? I just don't think sending a guy to ride herd on kids more or less his own age is a good idea. And have you sat outside a high school on a reasonably warm day, and seen the way these girls dress and act?
Holy Moses.
