only 2 charges ? and in the end only 3 month jail sentence ?
does anyone believe for a moment that if this had been a 25yr old MALE teacher and a 16yr old Female student that there would have been way more than 2 charges filed and that the sentence would have been much longer ?

Teacher gets 3 months for sex with teen
by Emily Gersema - May. 2, 2008 12:00 PM
The Arizona Republic
A former kindergarten teacher who taught for six months despite facing charges of having sex with a boy, 16, has been sentenced to three months in jail.
Angela Csader, 25, pleaded guilty in March to two counts of sexual conduct with a minor. Each charge carried a maximum sentence of 1 1/2 years in prison.
She was arrested in July for allegations she had sex with a Gilbert 16-year-old, who, according to court records, was seeking custody of their daughter.
Her sentencing Monday was carried out by a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.
Florence Unified School District officials were upset state and local authorities didn't tell them earlier that a kindergarten teacher had been arrested for having sex with a minor.
The district learned about the allegations through a Jan. 16 notice from the Arizona Department of Education — six months after Csader's arrest by Gilbert police and three months after charges were filed.
“It kind of makes us wonder if there are other situations that we need to be aware of,” district spokesman Larry Cline said back in February.
ADE learned that the Department of Public Safety had suspended Csader's fingerprint clearance card, a state teaching requirement, just two days before it notified Florence, said Vince Yanez, the state Board of Education's executive director.
He is not sure why there was such a lag before then. According to court records, Csader in 2006 was tutoring the 8-year-old child of a Gilbert couple when she became involved with their teenage son late that August.
Csader was formally charged last October with three felony counts of sexual conduct with a minor, and was placed on supervised release.
After learning that her teaching clearance card was suspended, district officials met with Csader, who resigned from teaching kindergarten at Florence's Anthem Elementary, Cline said.
To set the notification process in motion, police or jail officials must first send to state authorities a suspect's booking information to be checked against various fingerprint databases, including one with teacher clearance cards.
Department of Public Safety spokesman Harold Sanders said the booking information includes fingerprints that are checked against a database of teacher clearance cards.
After finding a print match, DPS will suspend the teacher's clearance card and alert the Arizona Department of Education about the suspension, as well as the teacher facing accusations.
Most school districts have a policy of voluntary disclosure — the teacher is supposed to tell officials of the arrest and allegations.
But self-reporting is a very uncertain practice as some convicted sex offenders have proven time and time again when they fail to inform state officials that they've moved to a new home.
Cline said that Csader didn't inform school officials. And Gilbert police say she never told them she was a teacher, saying only that she was a nanny for the boy's family.
If she had volunteered that information, Florence school district might have learned much sooner of the allegations.
“We typically will notify the school district if a teacher/employee is booked into jail for a dangerous offense or if there is an immediate concern for the safety of the public,” said Lt. Eric Shuhandler, a spokesman for Gilbert police.
Police also walk a fine line when it comes to ensuring a suspect's rights while protecting the public. Sanders notes that suspects are innocent until proven guilty, and if acquitted, can always try to recoup some of their losses, including their jobs or certifications, through lawsuits.
