Teen dumps former teacher boyfriend

Eigheen year old Jordan Powers broke up with her former teacher, 41 year old James Hooker, after he was charged with sexually assaulting another girl, who was seventeen at the time, in 1998. The romance began while Hooker was still her teacher, though both deny any sexual involvement until after her 18th birthday. Hooker, who was married and had a daughter nearly the same age as his teen girlfriend, filed for divorce because, he said that when you're in love, "Sometimes you take a leap of faith." Jordan's mother, Tammie Powers, claims Hooker is a sexual predator who has stolen her daughter and is campaigning for a law that she says would prevent such occurences from happening.

If you had to guess what state this all took place in, what would you guess?
