The teacher abuse double standard, and an update in the Anna Kepner case | CUOMO Crime Time: Weekend
On this episode of "Cuomo Crime Time: Weekend Edition," Chris Cuomo takes on two difficult cases. Joined by criminologist Casey Jordan, they examine a crime that seems to lie in a grey area: female teachers who sexually abuse their underage male students. Chris and Dr. Jordan explore why society often reacts with leniency when the genders are flipped. Jordan breaks down the psychology behind offenders and the lasting harm it can have on boys and men using notable cases, from Mary Kay Letourneau to more recent ones. Then crime and entertainment reporter Lauren Conlin joins to unpack the latest on the death of 18-year-old Anna Kepner, who was killed aboard a cruise ship last year, allegedly by her teenage stepbrother. Together they break down the federal charges, a possible plea deal, the family’s dynamics cited in court filings and what a juvenile sentencing hearing could mean for the case moving forward.
