Thing is the school already fired the teacher. If there had been evidence that was prosecutable they would have done so in order to protect the school from say a lawsuit. Plus an investigation of this sort would have to involve the parents as well........ so everybody is on board with what the results were.If there was absolut certainty charges would have been leveled.
Now the question is is why does the 17 year old still meet and recieve emails from the teacher. Email can be blocked, meetings can be said no to. So it could be that the 17 year old is the one doing the stalking..... it is possible.
Though there are all types one must consider why the teacher would further compromise his life and family.
Yes calling the police is an easy option to get to the bottom of it all but if the child was so bothered the police would have been called already. The parent first would need to sit down and make it completely clear that this is very serious so the full story must come out. No contact means no contact. If the police are called and show up at the teachers house..... and another story comes out.... the parents of the 17 year old could be sued bigtime. Loss of reputation, loss of job, future jobs, grief to his family, emotional distress, etc.
So either this guy is clearly at fault or there is more. To ask the question implies more.

He is not a teacher anymore so you need to stop being hung up on that. Thats like tabloid crap trying to make it something that it is not or more sensational than it is. He was fired because it was misconduct on his part and so that no longer plays a role in this legally. No doubt he is serious about this reationship if he has sacrificed his job and risks his marriage. That he meets a 17 year old, away from school, and there is no indication of a sexual relationship yet makes this pretty difficult to get a warrant. In most states a sexual relationship would not be illegal under those circumstances since the age of consent for sexual activity is 16. You do not mention an illegal act yet. Perhaps there is some way to discourage her from meeting with him. If he was single, in most states, they could be married legally. Tough situation.

I a mother of a 17 yr old I would print off those e-mails and bring them to the police and charge the teacher.Then I'd bring a copy of those e-mails to his wife so she would know why he was being charged. A teacher a person of trust taking advantage of a minor child is wrong. We teach our children when in trouble go to someone you can trust the police, your parents, a priest, or a teacher this is so wrong on so many levels. Charge this person so they can't prey on any other minors.

If the child is 17 yrs old, in Michigan they are emancipated and a legal adult. Therefore the child can meet with anyone they please. There is no law against infidelity on the teacher's part. The school has already fired the teacher for rules violations involving fraternizing with students. That's about all there is.

If she is 17 how close is she to 18? You may not think it matters but it does.
At some point, children grow up and we have to stop making excuses for them and protecting them. If this is a mistake she is going to make, then she's going to do it with or without your blessing.
As for the teacher, put the pressure on him, call his wife or send her a letter. Call the media, make it unpleasant for him and he may go away. But keep in mind, the young lady in question may decide to jump ship and run to.
Call the police and make a report. They do not have to have sex and if she's your daughter, you can still place a restraining order on him. Again, this will have some very negative repercussions on her end.

You have the potential of two issues...civil and criminal if there was an actual sexual relationship.
Either way, as the childs parent, I would contact an attorney and let him bring the teacher to justice!
Best wishes!

You may try telling the police or meting the local Crown Attorney, but unfortunately you may only get blank stares and may have to hire a lawyer, meaning there goes your weekly allowance.

If it was my kid, I would bring charges to the teachers kneecaps with a baseball bat.
