Yes it is quite possible. yes the employer can and as well be sued fornot taking the necesarry action,you file such a claim with the d.a., there are also many web sites and attornies who handle this issue. yes a teacher can be harassed by an adult student. it is an issue between male and female regardless of age. If i'm not mistaken the statue of limitations is 7 years.
