According to the arrest affidavit:

The sister of the alleged victim told him Harrington-Cooper said he was "hot" on Dec. 13. The sister gave him Harrington-Cooper's phone number.

The teacher and the student began texting each other later that day. They agreed to "hang out," and she began to pick him up in front of his house or around the corner.
The parents of the alleged victim discovered their son had a "sexually explicit conversation" with a teacher after he borrowed his mother's laptop and used the free texting website Pinger.

This kind of crime needs to be elevated to a 1st degree felony if we as a society are going to take this wide spread problem of teachers having sex with students seriously.
