The Lookout - Tue, Apr 17, 2012 The California teen who made national headlines when she and her high school teacher moved in together told a local television station that the two are back together. Jordan Powers, 18, told a reporter for Sacramento TV station CBS13 that she and James Hooker, 41, are a couple again. The interview was conducted on the steps of Hooker's apartment in Modesto through a screen door. In an ABC news interview two weeks ago, Powers said she had called off the relationship with Hooker after allegations that the teacher sexually abused another student more than a decade ago. Tammie Powers, mother, told the Modesto Bee that she thought the two were seeing each other again. After they moved away, Hooker called Jordan "relentlessly," she said. She hired a cab and booked her own flight," Tammie Powers said. Hooker was arrested on April 6 for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student he allegedly met at a high school conference in 1998. After the break-up, Powers said Hooker had lied about the affair and the student had "lost everything for this guy" in the ABC interview. I gave up all my friends at high school because they didn't agree with me," she said. In February, Hooker quit his job at James Enochs High School and left his wife and three children to be with Powers. The two told national talk shows that they didn't have a sexual relationship until she turned 18.
Hooker, the former Enochs High teacher whose romance with one of his students drew attention from around the world a few weeks ago, was arrested Friday on one count of oral copulation with a minor for an incident police said happened 14 years ago.
Nkomo Morris, a teacher at Brooklyn's Art and Media High School, works on her classroom computer on Wednesday, April 4, 2012, in New York. Morris, who teaches English and journalism, said she has about 50 current and former students as Facebook friends. That could be a problem if the new rules instruct teachers not to friend students.
