Ex-teacher gets probation on sex-abuse charge

In 5 4 3 2 1 go...

Someone will be here saying this is another reason for vouchers....


No it isn't.

Just a sick lady needing some serious help.

The local courts are biased towards female sex offenders. This woman will serve no time in jail for having sexual encounters with an underage child over 40 times.

My co-worker, who happens to be a man, also fell into the trap of an aggressive teenager. They had one encounter and he came clean with the authorities He also tested at the lowest levels in all psychological and sexual testing just like this woman. The judge admitted at sentencing that he was not sure what to do with him. He is now in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day in the State Prison at Draper. How is that fair?

This woman got off with a slap on the wrist because everyone assumes a male having sex with a teenager is always aggravative and forceable and a female having sex with a teenager is not that bad.

Vouchers! OH wait...wrong story. It is ironic that this story sits on top of another story about three men going to jail for sex abuse. One of those men solicited sex with somebody posing to be underage. Now, I am ALL for defending children and those men need to be put away to keep them away from other victims but who is this fair? A woman who actually has sex 40 times with a kid gets probation and a guy who never touches a kid goes to the federal pen? It smells like gender bias to me.

If a young girl is victimized everybody is horrified. If a young boy is horrified it seems like people are winking and nodding and saying it isn't a big deal.

Count me among the horrified at the lasting effects this will have on a kid legally too young to decide to have sex with this 30-something woman.

Weird double standard.

this was my teacher
