High School Counselor Arrested After Alleged Sex With Student on Campus

A high school counselor was arrested after authorities said she had sex with a student on campus, according to the New York Post.

In a separate case, a woman in London was arrested for allegedly attacking a Jewish schoolboy. Police described the incident as part of a continuing string of antisemitic assaults in the city, the Jerusalem Post reported.

A microbus carrying 20 students from the soft tennis club of a high school in Niigata, Japan, crashed into a guardrail on Wednesday. The accident left one student dead, according to local reports. The school had arranged the bus transportation through a local firm prior to the fatal crash.

Officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding the vehicle and the driver's actions at the time of the incident, the Japan Times reported.

In Northern California, the student newspaper at Redwood High School in Larkspur published an article that identified a French national as allegedly providing models to Jeffrey Epstein. Community members filed complaints about the editorial decision.

The named individual threatened to sue the school district if her name was not removed from the post. The district superintendent directed the students to take the post down.

The student newspaper initially removed the post but later restored it with the name redacted. The longtime faculty adviser to the paper then took an abrupt leave of absence. Press freedom organizations sent a letter to the district superintendent urging an end to investigations and any censorship practices.

The letter stated that federal and state law bar administrators from interfering with the paper's editorial independence.

The superintendent responded that public complaints surrounding the editorial choice had been resolved, including by restoring the redacted name. A parent whose child works on the paper expressed hope that the situation leads to clear board-approved policies supporting student press rights. The organizations involved said they were engaging in public advocacy on behalf of the students.
