This movie was actually made for TV way back in the late 90's, and it's as good now as it was then. It's about a 15 year old girl who has a crush on her high school teacher, who is married with kids. He has a thing for young girls and they soon begin having an affair, and things get messy. He holds all the power and her experiences really give insight into how these teacher/student affairs work. It's a great movie with many familiar actors. It's worth seeing!

In this Lifetime TV movie, Gary Cole does a terrific job, as usual, playing a popular high school football coach allowed to seduce young students because he's necessary to a winning team and because parents haven't complained about his behavior up to now. This time he seduces a 14-year-old who is at first flattered then fearful of reporting his behavior because of her fears about the consequence to him. Being more concerned for the abuser than herself is typical behavior of someone being abused. She finally shares her experience with her mother and the man is arrested, convicted and sent to jail. The people at the school, however, turn against the student for robbing them of the well-liked coach and so her family takes the situation even further by suing the school in court for allowing the teacher to use his power to seduce a youngster.

The ending should have depicted a trial with a rousing statement from the judge defending young people everywhere from the terrible misuse of a teacher's power, but it ends with a written blurb telling us the outcome, which weakens the movie and is less satisfying than having the message dramatized would have been.

The story and acting are still compelling enough to be pretty good.

I saw this movie on tv and thought it was really good. I think the acting was great and why is someone giving this movie 1 star justt because they didn't receive their items? Disregard the previous users 1 star and give the movie a chance, especially if you like the Lifetime channel movies (which remind me of extended after school specials). Good one!

As a secondary English teacher, I know about the dangers regarding teacher/student relationships. Teachers want to show students that they care, and students often need to feel like there are trustworthy adults in their lives who can assist them.
However, some people can exploit these needs for their own twisted purposes.
"Indecent Seduction" is a true story about a young girl in a rural school who is victimized by her science teacher, Coach Nash. Nash's charisma masks a perverted mentality in which he manipulates young girls for his own satisfaction. It is truly shocking the amount of thhings this man was allowed to get away with! Those who try to report him are ignored because of Nash's masterful coaching techniques. How sad that some school systems care about prestige instead of their students! Don't get me started!

This movie is heartwrenching, but there is a ray of hope as well. The actors/actresses do very well in their roles, and Gary Cole is particularly convincing as the coach. Please give this movie a chance. God bless you.

I saw this movie back in 2005 and ordered the movie. it is a great movie and very good acting. I watch it all the time.

Excellent movie! Very well done.

The story takes place in fictional Tate High School in fictional Tate, Okalahoma, but this is a true story and it all happened in Taylor, Texas and is based on a magazine article cited in the movie credits.

Gary Cole portrays a highschool football Coach who seems to have never grown up, which Cole depicts in the movie as a mature man driving a teenager's type of pickup truck and behaving like a 17 year old himself with his flirting and worse, as well as providing the kids he liked with liquor.

In the movie, the Coach's method was to single out a young girl in his Biology class every year, always a freshman, whom he lavished with special attention and privileges, and then intentionally manipulated and coerced into a brief sexual affair that, once ended, left the teenage girl stunned and shunned by her classmates. The irony of the story is that the Coach became completely obsessed with the last young girl he'd ever fool around with, played by Nicholle Tom, and his desperate actions to keep her to himself and control her brought him down.

Cole's portrayal of the Coach was his usual perfect performance and Nicholle Tom was riveting as the innocent young girl who was lured by flattering attention into a situation she didn't know how to stop. The theme song, "Oh What a Thrill", by the Mavericks, stays in your mind long after you've watched this movie

Indecent Seduction was well done, careful to not get graphic, and portrayed the characters honestly enough. The Coach pled guilty to a class of misdemeanor that kept him from a long prison sentence as well as allowing him to avoid graphic testimony in open court.

The young girl's parents, played exactly right by Mary Kay Place and Mac Davis, particularly Mary Kay Place as the mother, showed them to be massively stressed out and dissatisfied with the sentence the Coach received. Both the girl and her parents were very courageous in not giving up on bringing not only the Coach to justice but the highschool Principal and Board of Education as well. They made history in Texas and Supreme Court case law as well, which provides a basis today for the protection of students from sexual predators and abuse of power by school teachers and administrators all over the country.

If you are a teen girl in high school try not to fall in love with your teaher this movie is base on stuff like it and it is a good movie to.

I was so excited to see this movie when i saw i could buy it!! i got it home & watched it but was definatly not how i remembered seeing it when i was 16. this is a good movie especially if you have young teenage girls. i do recommend this movie to anybody!

I love the Lifetime true story movies. "Indecent Seduction" was one I have watched several times and really liked it. Perfect actors to play each character.Gary Cole and Nicholle Tom were great, I was crying for Nicholle(Amy) as her teacher and football coach did every trick in the book to "love" her and minipulate her. But a small town known for their football team was what was most important. She tried to get her life back and the whole town came down on her when coach got arrested. And he got prison time for a guilty plea. Glad to see a law passed to protect these kids.

The quality of this DVD is very good except there are no scenes so you cant skip to the next scene like in the other dvd's, However you have the fast forward option.

Apart from that everything else is great. Recommend it to anyone the story line of the movie itself is very interesting.
