Ex-Teacher Convicted of Sexual Assault Blames Student for Seducing Her ‘Like a Used Car Salesman’
People ^ | 7/17/2017 | Melissa Chan

A former Georgia teacher who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting her student appeared to blame the teenage victim in court for roping her in “like a used car salesman,” PEOPLE confirms.

Therese Gunn, 54, confessed Friday to having a sexual relationship with a student who was 17, Karen West, Managing District Attorney at the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, tells PEOPLE. The ex-orchestra teacher apologized for her actions before telling a judge the teen had coerced her.

“He was like a used car salesman,” Gunn said.

Gunn was sentenced to 90 days in prison and up to 10 years of probation, West says.

She taught at South Gwinnett High School for 25 years before she was arrested in May 2016, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The victim’s mother alerted authorities after reading her son’s journal, which highlighted the sexual encounters that occurred for several months at the school, a park and the teacher’s home, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a statement.

Gunn had turned herself in to authorities and later resigned from her teaching position.

Speaking in court, the victim said Gunn “made [his] adolescence hell.”

"Wow. A sexual encounter that lasted for “several months.” Impressive."

Yeah, that beats the old "Please seek medical treatment for an erection lasting more than four hours" ....

He offered up some “D” if she’d change his grad to an “A”.

It renders down to the fact that the VAST majority of public school teachers have been the scrapings of the academic barrel for the last thirty years.

These mentally challenged moral cripples have been taught, for all that time, by the Leftist criminals. They have been brain-washed to believe that Judeo-Christian morality is, somehow, a right wing conspiracy, rather than a social contract that keeps people from raping, robbing and killing.

Wonder if she has ever been married, or has children (I hope not).

Family members are always the most innocent victims of these crazy perverts.

Why in the heck would a 17 year old boy even consider any kind of extra-curricular activity with THAT? Ugh.

If the kid is that good, he can certainly find better customers.

No where near as stupid as fantasizing that some teenager wanted this wornout old cow in the society of today where younger and more desirable women are readily available.

This woman was no victim.

NOT GUILTY!. If he didn’t want to do it, it wouldn’t “rise” up for the deed. A female can’t really rape a male under most circumstances. She’s butt ugly and he screwed her and let her $—k him for a better grade or cash and gifts.. I see no crime. Now a Male teacher on a female student is a completely different plumbing situation.

Erections are simply a function of blood preasure. There are a number of ways to produce them and desire is not required.

In this case my bet would be viagra.

He charmed the panties off of her.

(Lord, I apologize for that one there, and please be with all the starving Pygmies down there in New Guinea.)

No excuses. You are the adult (allegedly) and are suppose to be able to control yourself. Since you can not do so you will be controlled.

"I know some brilliant teachers and yeah, they would agree with you."

I've known a few, and here is the reason I offer this supposition. Back in the early 90's I went back to school for my MBA. I got a chance to talk to a lot of college students who would never wind up in an engineering department.

These kids had been told that they would not prosper without a degree, and they admitted that they had not done well in high school. Solution? Teaching. They were deliberately steered into an education major, and the courses had been dumbed down so that even a kid who couldn't have passed the Turing Test could get a job teaching in the public school system.

These kids are now the the administrators who come up with Zero Tolerance rules in elementary schools, are hooking up with 13-year-old boys in middle school, and creating Antifa Communists in high school who are incapable of determining how they could possibly be the fascists they are screaming about.

I see no crime.

The teacher was working in loco parentis. One strike and you're out.
