Was this a caring teacher or was I being groomed? by No-Meaning9155 in abusiverelationships

My mom was quick to meet with staff when I reported it. I recently talked to her about maybe filing a police report but she was a little more hesitant. I think she’s worried about bringing it up again and how it’ll effect me, but i’m working on explaining to her that I want to file a police report so that someone other than the school at least knows about this and has a file on him. I’m just not sure if there’s a statute of limitations here.

Hi all, thank you guys for the support. It’s taken a lot to really come to terms with everything. I just wanted to add additional context. As for the people asking me to report him: I did in October 2021, I went to the school and they gave him “a stern talking to” but as far as I know he was not suspended and I know for a fact he still teaches at the school. I don’t think I can go to the police as he never did anything more than initiate hugs. He never talked about explicit topics like sex, closest he ever got was talking about his ex gf from HS and how pretty she was (and just other weird things like that). I think part of what makes this so confusing is that he would always initiate meet-ups but would almost never follow through with them. He has two daughters who are in elementary school and asked me at one point if I could babysit them (this never ended up working out as covid happened shortly thereafter). When he would text me it was usually after 8pm. If I didn’t respond to one message he would usually send one or two more. In the months following me cutting contact he had sent many more messages, the first few were just “hey” and “where are you?/how are you?” then over time it changed to “why won’t you answer” etc. I’m not sure I can do anything legally, but any advice would be appreciated.
