Report: Former student, high school teacher back together again

[joeybee12]

The California teen who made national headlines when she and her high school teacher moved in together told a local television station that the two are back together.

Jordan Powers, 18, told a reporter for Sacramento TV station CBS13 that she and James Hooker, 41, are a couple again. The interview was conducted on the steps of Hooker's apartment in Modesto through a screen door.

In an ABC news interview two weeks ago, Powers said she had called off the relationship with Hooker after allegations that the teacher sexually abused another student more than a decade ago. Powers packed her bags and moved to Ohio with her mom.

Tammie Powers, mother, told the Modesto Bee that she thought the two were seeing each other again. After they moved away, Hooker called Jordan "relentlessly," she said.

Great news!


I actually mean

1. I'm shocked.

A teenager isn't completely, deadly serious about breaking up with someone forever? Stop the presses!

2. "Hooker Regains Powers"

From the better headline department.

5. So what is Hooker doing for a job?

Usually this age spread is associated with the older individual having a fat wallet. A relatively attractive 18 year old can do a whole lot better. Family money?

The whole thing is creepy beyond belief, but they are both adults so it is legal. I remember when my uncle married my aunt (he was about 35 and she was 18 - only 3 years older than me). It creeped me out, but they have had a very good marriage so it can work out.
