Unless that duty has been codified, which it hasn't been in Georgia, it may be a moral duty but it isn't a legal duty. The girl had also reached the age of consent in Georgia so the ages don't legally matter either. There were no laws broken and I don't really understand why it took a court to make that decision.
The teacher broke administrative rules so he is no longer teaching in the district and has lost his teaching certificate. There is nothing more that could have been done.
