A Teacher's Crime is a 2008 American-Canadian TV movie directed by Robert Malenfant. Main characters are Ashley Jones as the teacher Carrie Ryans and Erik Knudsen as her student Jeremy Rander.
Storyline
The drama is about a female High school teacher and a male student in his senior year (an orphan). He pretends to be in need of attention and they become friends. She gets caught in the master plan of Jeremy and his uncle. Carrie and her father are accused of committing crimes that are actually done by Jeremy or his uncle. Knowing she inherited money from her deceased millionaire father, Jeremy and his uncle proceed to blackmail her for $500,000 by using incriminating photographs of her and Jeremy.

gollark: > A core proposition in economics is that voluntary exchanges benefit both parties. We show that people often deny the mutually beneficial nature of exchange, instead espousing the belief that one or both parties fail to benefit from the exchange. Across 4 studies (and 7 further studies in the Supplementary Materials), participants read about simple exchanges of goods and services, judging whether each party to the transaction was better off or worse off afterwards. These studies revealed that win–win denial is pervasive, with buyers consistently seen as less likely to benefit from transactions than sellers. Several potential psychological mechanisms underlying win–win denial are considered, with the most important influences being mercantilist theories of value (confusing wealth for money) and naïve realism (failing to observe that people do not arbitrarily enter exchanges). We argue that these results have widespread implications for politics and society.
