A former Catholic high school teacher has been charged with second-degree sexual assault under a law that makes having sex with students a crime, even if the student has reached the age of consent. He was caught having sex with a 16 year old girl in a state where the age of consent has been reached. He’s arguing that his right to sexual privacy was violated.

According to court records, (He) made repeated overtures to the female student in early 2005 and, by the middle of April, she began spending the night at his apartment. The student told police she had sex with (him) at least eight times until she decided to report their relationship to authorities on May 3, 2005, records say.

(He) claims the statute infringes on his constitutional right to privacy, which, he argues, includes engaging in a sexual relationship with another consenting adult. Glasser was 29 when the relationship is alleged to have taken place; the girl was 16.

“We believe that the statute infringes on a fundamental right to sexual privacy and therefore does not hold up under constitutional scrutiny,” Jeremy Donnelly, one of (his) lawyers, said Friday.

In their legal brief seeking a dismissal of the charges, (His) lawyers contend that privacy rights cannot be infringed upon unless there’s a “compelling state interest” in doing so. The state has fallen short of defining that interest, they argue.
