Ragusa came to the attention of authorities when a girl at Davidsen Middle School told a school resource officer she had heard that Ragusa had sex with a student. The resource officer informed the principal of the allegation and the principal contacted sheriff’s deputies.

Shortly after Ragusa’s arrest, a teacher caught students passing a note about Ragusa. The note allegedly indicated that Ragusa has sex with other former and current students.

The call transcript indicates Ragusa was aware that her actions were criminal when the boy asked about their sexual relationship:

Ragusa: It’s illegal.
Victim: Oh.
Ragusa: It would be all over the news and everything:
Victim: Oh, like that one Debra Lafave thing?
Ragusa: Yeah.

Victim: Well, like what exactly that we did was wrong, though?
Ragusa: It’s illegal.
Victim: Like what, though?
Ragusa: You’re under 18; I’m over 18 and I don’t know; whatever.

You are so right. It’s sickening the way they run to every thread like this with their “Where were these teachers when I was in High School” garbage. Of course, if it’s a guy teacher with a female then it’s a different matter. Ridiculous.

From now on when a male is accussed of having sex with a female student I believe a picture should be posted so the females on this site can determine if he’s guilty by his looks. In fact, I propose we determine all guilt that way.:)

I read a bit of this story. This woman sounds truly self -destructive. I mean, she was doing it with 7th graders, 14 year olds. After she was arrested and bonded out, she kept on having sex with the same kids!

At one point, she did it with a kid in the driveway in the SUV while the parents were asleep inside the house. There were actually witnesses outside the bedrooms where she was with these kids.

After Deb LeFavre, I can’t say she is toast, but if the laws do what they are supposed to - well, I know someone who did the exact same thing but the sexes were reversed here in FL. He was seduced and then shaken down by 3 teens. (They turned him in because he didn’t pay them) And he’s doing 135 years.

I'm betting you weren't a sports star in school?Those guys got special help with ALL their problems,they seldom were punished for any misbehavior as long as they could catch,hit, or throw a damn ball!We have long had a warped set of values in the U.S. that makes fun of the kid who studies and becomes an engineer,architect,or doctor while heaping glory on the football captain.Which one will go on to save or enrich more lives?

And yes,I am bitter since a friend of mine was sexually assaulted by the big,bad sports stars.Guess who had to withdraw from school...

When I was 16 we had an art teacher and she was smoking hot.

She was doing one of the male students and everyone knew it.

Of course not? Thats not what your posts say. This woman was 29 when she started with these kids. They were 14 & 15 years old.

But thats ok cause they were guys eh? Its ok for adults in positions of authority to use our schools as their hunting ground for their next sexual conquest? Never mind they know its illegal.

“Why are they called victims when they wanted to have sex with her?”

because they are children who are not mature enough to make that decision.

Why do you think its ok for teachers to rape children?

Once those boys have their fling with teacher, are they going to try to hook up with other teachers, or will they be the ones pressuing high school and jr high girls (aka your daughters) to put out?

Woo-hoo - mah boy scored with teacher! Boo-hoo - my daughter’s pregnant at 14.

Teenage boys are old enough to decide if they want some female attention. You live in a media-created fantasy world if you think they were harmed in anyway.

“Teenage boys are old enough to decide if they want some female attention.”

No they are not. Especially when the adult is significantly older than them. Promiscuity is not a positive behavior.

“You live in a media-created fantasy world if you think they were harmed in anyway.”

Hardly, I live in the real world where the crap you support is illegal. Its the media world thats seeking to legalize adult child sex and public sex houses.

When my boys were that age, I encouraged them to check out the assets of good looking, sexy females...I wanted to do my part to make sure they had an interest in the ‘correct’ gender...

Years later, when my daughter became that age, I watched her and the guys she liked, like a hawk...

I figured I knew what the boys’ dads were telling them...
