A substitute teacher was arrested for allegedly engaging in sex acts with a 16-year-old girl in a BMW in Hesperia early Sunday, officials said.

The pair were discovered by a deputy checking on the black BMW, which authorities said appeared to be suspicious, parked near the intersection of Ivy Avenue and Alder Street. The teacher, 40-year-old Rakshannah Ranney, was engaged in some kind of sexual activity with the girl in the car, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

Rakshannah ???

Oh, those fun-loving “educators”.

[BigEdLB]

More room than a Mini Cooper would have...

[Morgana]

Okay tell me, how does this “fun loving educator” afford a BMW??? Never mind he was a substitute at that.

They should have a class-action lawsuit against public schools, maybe even more than the Catholic Church

[BigEdLB]

I was wondering about that too

[Mastador1]

I was wondering, is the problem because it was in a BMW? Interesting what some journalists believe are pertinent facts.

“I was wondering about that too”

THANK YOU! I thought it was just me.

“More room than a Mini Cooper would have...”

Or in the back of Laz’s Chevy van.

Detectives believe Ranney, a substitute teacher in the Adelanto School District, met the girl online and that she was not one of his students, according to the sheriff's department. Both of them live nearby in Apple Valley.

Ranney, who allegedly had an ongoing sexual relationship with the girl, was charged with lewd and lascivious acts by force resulting in psychological harm to the victim, unlawful sex with a minor and burglary.

Would have been okay in a Prius?

“They should have a class-action lawsuit against public schools, maybe even more than the Catholic Church.”

That is an outstanding suggestion. Why not? Whatever rationale and legal arguments they used against the Church should apply to the public school system.

Is ther a lawyer in the house?

Rakshannah ???

"Rake" for short.

Probably had hippy parents.

[Morgana]

The point here is why do you have your kids in public school with these perverts?

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Definitely more space than in a Miata!

[Uncle Chip]

Was it the sex acts that got him arrested or the fact that he did them in a BMW???

[Ingtar]

From the grammar of the headline, it could have been the student’s BMW.

[MichaelCorleone]

I understand that.

But a nice class-action wouldn’t hurt, would it?

[GeronL]

You would think it would have happened by now.
