A former teacher accused of sexually abusing a student was not held pre-trial due to provisions in the SAFE-T Act. The case has drawn significant attention, and the judge involved expressed concerns about the limitations imposed by the law.
The judge remarked, “While this case is horrific in nature — it’s shocking, it’s appalling, it’s garnering lots of attention — I do believe under the SAFE-T Act I am tied to whether there are any conditions I can set to mitigate the risk she poses to [the boy] right now.”
The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness and implications of the SAFE-T Act, particularly in cases involving serious allegations.
