OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- The attorney for a Nebraska middle school teacher who fled to Mexico with a student who was an illegal immigrant said Monday that the woman could be guilty of nothing except poor judgment.
Teacher Kelsey Peterson, shown in 2006, is charged with kidnapping and child abuse.
James Martin Davis said that a kidnapping charge against Kelsey Peterson should be dropped because the boy went with her willingly, and that the boy shares more responsibility for their relationship and flight than authorities allege.
Peterson, 25, fled Lexington with the boy, a former student of hers, on October 26. They were found in a mall parking lot in the border town of Mexicali, Mexico, on November 2.
"It's my understanding he was grooming her and she wasn't grooming him," Davis said.
"I see true victims every day," he added. "This young man is no victim."
Davis also suggested that the boy -- who authorities say is 13 -- may actually be 16 or older -- too old for a state statutory rape count to apply.
"The information I have is that he might be older," said Davis, declining to elaborate. "The kid is sophisticated. He shaves, he has a mustache. I'll be requesting his original birth certificate from the Mexican consulate. I think he had one here, but I don't know if anyone vouched for its authenticity."
A prosecutor and a relative of the boy rejected Davis' claims.
"He'll be 14 in January," Laura Rodriguez, the boy's aunt, said in a phone interview. The birth certificate was issued in Mexico, she said.
As for the boy not being the victim, Rodriguez said of Peterson, "She started up with him when he was 12. She was 24. How could that happen?"
Peterson faces a federal charge of crossing state lines to have sex with a minor, which is punishable by 10 years to life in prison and a $250,000 fine. A judge denied bail for her last week.
She also has been charged in Dawson County with felony counts of kidnapping and child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Peterson was recently moved from a federal detention center in El Centro, California, to one in San Diego and will be returned to Nebraska in seven to 21 days, Davis said.
"She understands what she did, and that she didn't exercise the best judgment in leaving," Davis said. "I'm not trying to exonerate Kelsey. I want to make sure she's treated fairly."
Davis declined to say whether Peterson told him she and the boy had sex. The boy, in an interview with The Associated Press last week, said they had sex twice.
The boy also said that it was Peterson's idea to go to Mexico, but that he went along with it to see relatives and to get away from his problems.
The boy remains in Mexico because of his immigration status but might be able to return to Nebraska, at least temporarily, if he is granted a "U" visa. The visas are used to encourage illegal immigrants to report crimes against them.
"To prove their case, they have to have him come back here," Davis said. "They're going to have to cut him some deal to have him testify. In exchange for the promise of bringing him into the country, he may be anxious to please them and do what they say."
Davis said the federal charge against Peterson shouldn't stand because she fled to Mexico not to have sex, but "to flee what was happening in Lexington."
Shortly before Peterson and the boy left, she had been put on paid leave while school officials investigated complaints about their relationship. E-mail to a friend

Smart kid.
I used to get hit on by my high school music teacher all thetime. It was okay,but when I graduated and went to college, he quit his job and got a job at the same college! Got a little creepy!
I never did hit on my students.
But, then again, I didn't teach in High School.
That might've been a different story.
pee wee those teachers were around, they just aren't hot in the valley LOL. Then again the girl in the article you posted isnt really hot either. My sisters friends who are teachers in the valley are freaks and hot, WHERE the were they when I was in High School?
you were a teacher?
Dude, there were a few hot teachers when I was in school. But, sadly, they weren't s.
I wish my hot teachers would've been s.
By the way, we have to hang out with your sister and her hot friends.
4 years.
I thought History and coached football & basketball.
I'm a dumb ass.
I meant "taught".
Apparently, I type faster than I think.
So why don't you teach anymore?
of course, if this was a male teacher with a teenage girl.. holy , they'd go for the death sentence.
They were there they just all probably looked like crap. I can't remember any of my regular teachers who looked like anything. Maybe once or twice we might have had an alright looking subs ute.
Kids are a piece of , and the education system in the U.S. is broken and beyond repair. As a teacher, you are expected to do much more than just teach. You have to be a teacher, counselor, baby sitter, parent, etc. Plus, there is so much useless, pointless paperwork that goes with it all.
I hear you.
It happened a couple of times to people I know back home. One guy I know got fired and then it came out that the girl accused him of sexually abusing her because it was a gang initiation.
They gave him his job back. But, he didn't get an apology or any type of compensation. The principal didn't want him around anymore because she didn't believe his side of the story, eventhough it had already been proven.
I hated all that bull .
I "taught" that answer would be quite obvious.
So now that your not a teacher, what do you do? Work in a library but do what?
rimshot
(damnit, I know there are more smilies than the link "More" shows, but I cant remember...)
Asshole.
Library stuff.
There's no stress to what I do.
LOL ok that doesnt answer my question but its cool.
Quite basically, I oogle at the college chicks and later compare notes with Midge to see which chick had the best s, ass, and face. We use a twenty point scale.
It gets to be quite a challenge at times.
This a University Library?
Yep.
Just imagine all the university T&A I get to look at.
God damn, this job is a blessing.
