This bit of oddness is on the front page of the Star. An American judge has sentenced an American teacher to one year in jail for shagging a 15 year old student. The judge also said he could avoid prison if he accepted a three year exile in Canada. The teacher works in the States but lives in Ontario with his Canadian family. I don't really get this one. Although the age on consent in Canada is 14, it doesn't apply if one of the people involved is in a posistion of power or trust (like a freaking teacher!). So this guys shagging habits would've landed him in prison in Canada as well. It's very odd. And it's not like this guy is going to get a job teaching up here.
