Her life was beginning to turn around. A recent divorce, going back to college for a second career to teach youth, raising three daughters and seeing them succeed. But one bad decision has changed that forever.
Who knows what made her land in this situation. Was it his interest in a woman leaving her youthful looks but still needing affirmation of her sexuality? Was it a misunderstanding of innocent flirtations? Was it a desire for physical satisfaction? Was it an accusation in retaliation? Whatever the reason, a choice to follow the wrong path can never be retraced.
She sits there in jail awaiting the outcome. He still has high school to finish. Even if she is found not guilty, she can never follow her dream of being a school teacher--guiding and mentoring the kids she truly wants to help. He will always be looked at with questioning eyes--did it really happen or was it a story to get even.
Families torn apart, lives shattered, self-worth destroyed...lives changed forever because of one choice.
