Former teacher's aide arrested on suspicion of having sex with students

WEST JORDAN — A former teacher's assistant accused of having sexual intercourse with two 15-year-old students was arrested this week.

Andrea Billingsley, 31, was picked up at her home Tuesday and arrested on suspicion of forcible sexual abuse, forcible sodomy and distributing pornographic materials to minors, said West Jordan police officer Dan Roberts.

The former aide at West Jordan Middle School, 7550 S. Redwood, met the two boys while overseeing an in-school suspension class, Roberts said. Police believe the sexual encounters occurred between May and July.

The alleged sexual activity would happen on school grounds, including an undisclosed location inside the school, and off campus, he said. The three allegedly continued to meet after the last school year had ended.

On or about July 20, Billingsley picked the two boys up at the school, according to Salt Lake County Jail records, took them to an undisclosed location in West Jordan and "engaged in several sex acts with them."

More Utah school-based sex abuse. And here the Salt Lake Trib had a major article last Sunday on a series of 2009 cases -- which only adds to the heap they've found throughout the decade in Utah: In 2005, Utah ranked 16th in the nation for teacher sex offenses, according to an Associated Press survey of disciplinary records from 2001 to 2005 in 50 states and the District of Columbia. At that time, 52.7 percent of Utah teachers who lost their licenses surrendered them for sexual misconduct -- twice the national rate, the AP found. Source: SexualMisconductPersistentInUtahSchools

From the Salt Lake Trib Oct. 25 sidebar to the article linked @ above link:

I know, right!? Gotta say that when I was in school they sure didn’t make girls like they do now, but many of our teachers were HOT!!

Oh for the days of cruising up 71 to Austin in my bud’s Fiat 124, Sppoky Tooth cranked on the 8-track, and Ginger (our history teacher) rolling the doobays in the back seat.

“an undisclosed location inside the school, and off campus”

I’m guessing he boys wore blindfolds.

I’d say she more closely resembles Peter Billingsley than Barbara.

Guilty as hell.

I wouldn’t read too much into the rate. I think it’s largely attributable to the Mormon culture’s low tolerance for any sexual activity outside of marriage. In many states, teachers wouldn’t lose their licenses for this stuff, in large part because nobody (including parents) would push for convictions, and the teachers unions won’t allow firing or license revocation without a conviction. I suspect the majority of parents of 15 year old boys in the NYC public school system, for example, would regard it as a badge of precocious macho honor if their son had bedded a female teacher.

And the assertion that this woman “forced” 15 year old boys to have sex with her strikes me as preposterous, and unlikely to be taken seriously in most parts of the country. It’s statutory rape, to be sure, but *forcible*? Gimme a break!

10 year olds swing 31” bats. You got to move up to 33” to 35” range.
