So when one of her students, Josh Gaines ([Corey Sevier](/source/Corey_Sevier)), needs help to improve his grades, she is only too happy to help. The pair have a good time, and even go out for a [burger](/source/Hamburger) afterwards, much to the speculation of other students and some teachers. However, things quickly turn sour when Josh makes a pass at Christie, which she turns down. Christie hopes to move past it — despite her husband's anger when she tells him about it — but Josh becomes more aggressive in his pursuit, eventually kissing her in the school swimming pool. At that point, Christie reports his advances to the principal, but is discouraged from pursuing the matter further. Principal Davis then talks to Josh, who denies any responsibility for what happened. Christie is then accused of trying to seduce him. After meeting with the principal, Josh later breaks into Christie's home and sexually assaults her in retaliation, sending her to the hospital as a result. Once the matter is investigated, the authorities decide to charge her. This is compounded by the fact that Josh's well-off parents can afford to hire the very best lawyers, whereas Christie and her husband Drew begin to struggle financially after the school [suspends](/source/Suspension_(punishment)) her, pending the outcome of her [trial](/source/trial). While doing some research, Christie discovers that those who commit sexual violence are likely to have a history of doing so. She seeks the assistance of Josh's ex-girlfriend Jenna. However, Jenna is unwilling to talk, so she then turns to Josh's current girlfriend, Monica, who reveals that Josh has a history of becoming violent when his requests for sex are declined, but like Jenna, she is also unwilling to testify about their relationship. Faced with no alternative, Christie reluctantly agrees to take a plea bargain by registering as a [sex offender](/source/sex_offender) and agreeing never to work with children again. However, Jenna then comes forth and reveals that she had been raped by Josh, and his parents accepted her silence by paying for her admission to [Dartmouth](/source/Dartmouth_College). Realizing she must do the right thing, Jenna decides to testify and pursue the rape case against Josh. As a result, Christie's name is cleared, and she is able to resume teaching. ==Cast== * [Elizabeth Berkley](/source/Elizabeth_Berkley) - Christie Dawson * [Corey Sevier](/source/Corey_Sevier) - Josh Gaines * [Rick Roberts](/source/Rick_Roberts_(actor)) - Drew Dawson * [Sarah Allen](/source/Sarah_Allen) - Jenna Hobson * [Sarah Smyth](/source/Sarah_Smyth) - Monica Corelli * [Karen Robinson](/source/Karen_Robinson) - Lorraine Boyle * [Bronwen Mantel](/source/Bronwen_Mantel) - Helen Davis * Steve Adams - Det.
