Just because a teacher sleeps with a student does not mean he is a flight risk. If he has lived in the area his entire life, has no criminal record, and has family/friends all from the same area, he would not be as big of a flight risk as a drug dealer from New York that was caught in NC and also had passports to exit the country. The whole purpose of the bond is not meant to be a form of punishment, punishment will be handed down AFTER he/she is convicted in court by a jury of peers.

Bob you really cant compare this to a teacher sleeping with a student. In many cases its consensual. That is why there are laws specifically banning teachers from sleeping with students because in some cases the student is older then the age of consent.

Bob your second comment was well stated. The bond should've been higher. He really dont need a bond until they see if any other victims.
