NY - A Queens public school teacher pleaded guilty to second-degree rape charges Tuesday for having sex with a 14-year-old student.
Melissa Weber, 28, was sentenced to time served, 10 years probation and has to register as a sex offender for the next 20 years.

It is an incredibly light sentence, indeed! This is so wrong, on so many levels. The student will be scarred for life, while the teacher gets probation!? There are some people that you are just expect to be able to trust: parents, teachers, doctors and so on. And when they annihilate that trust completely, and do it so brutally, the sentence should be harsher.
