Student Seduction is a 2003 made-for-television movie produced by Lions Gate Entertainment's Lionsgate Television and starring Elizabeth Berkley, Corey Sevier and Rick Roberts. Filmed in Montréal, Québec, the movie premiered on Lifetime on 5 May 2003.
The film's working title was Inappropriate Behaviour.
Christie Dawson (Elizabeth Berkley) is a popular high school chemistry teacher who is dedicated to her students and very passionate about her work. So when one of her students, Josh Gaines (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 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 attempting to kiss 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 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 her, pending the outcome of her trial.
