"Throw The Book At Her"

After a string of teacher-student sex scandals in recent years, I guess authorities are now inclined to really "throw the book" at any new offenders. That was my first thought when I read THIS story about how 38 year old high school biology teacher Carrie Shafer was found in her parked car "with steamed windows" along with a 17-year old student, both "partially nude."

The phrase 'throw the book at her' came to mind when I read this sentence about what she was charged with initially. "At the time, Shafer was charged with engaging in an unlawful transaction with a minor and unauthorized parking in a handicapped zone."
