If my wife cheated on me with a 14 year old I’d be a little embarassed. I certainly wouldn’t be seeking out the spotlight. But I’m not Owen Lafave.

After School is a documentary currently in production that focuses on “A study of the growing and disturbing trend of teachers having sex with their students.”

The oddest thing about the project might not be Lafave’s involvement, it might actually be Jonathan Lipnicki’s involvement. You might remember him as the kid from Jerry Maguire.

Odd career choice.

He’s a little older now, but it’ll still be weird to see the “human head weighs eight pounds” kid in a teacher – student sex documentary.

From the film’s synopsis:

For some teachers, “sex education� has become part of their extracurricular activities. During the past five years, approximately 50 female teachers have been accused of having sexual relations with underage boys.

Debra Lafave, the beautiful 23 year old reading teacher from Tampa, Florida, made international headlines when she was arrested in June of 2004 for allegedly having sex on numerous occasions with her 14 year old student. Her trial is set for December of 2005.

Her husband Owen feels his ex-wife is a sexual predator. He has spoken out in the media as an advocate for children. Although personally hurt and embarrassed by his wife’s behavior, he believes that if his actions prevent only one more child from being hurt, then he has accomplished something good from this sad and traumatic experience. After School studies the growing and disturbing trend of teachers having sexual relations with their students. The film will explore the minds and personalities of the female teachers who have committed these crimes and will examine the effect and impact on the students, families, and school districts.

Hott for Teacher will definitely be closely following this documentary.
