What would you do in this (ficticious) "bodice-ripper" situation? + questions about a book I saw.

Bodice-ripper refers to the kinds of books that my mom calls romance novels – you know, with the half naked guy with long hair and a fit body and the girl clutching him on some storm-whisked landscape and whatnot.

I was at Barnes & Noble today, and I randomly saw this book about how this student seduces a teacher. Anyway, he ends up sleeping with her (I assume, since she… ah, persuaded him with other parts of her body). But she had been stalking him and teasing him and whatnot.

So I got to thinking… if he had just told someone like his girlfriend, or the principal of the school where he taught and she learned, then in real life, what really would have happened?

Would you take his word or hers? She could always use the whole he had the hots for me thing, but he could always use the men can only handle so much line.

Anyhow, what would happen in real life if he had told someone? I mean, I know that he could probably go to jail or something, but would she also get in trouble? And what would you do if you were in this situation (as the teacher or someone that found out – I don’t want to know what you would do if you were her.)
