Ex-Seymour teacher pleads to statutory rape

SEVIERVILLE — A former Seymour High School teacher caught performing oral sex on a student pleaded guilty this morning to statutory rape.

District Attorney General Al Schmutzer, Jr. recommended an 18-month sentence for Kristi Dance Oakes.

Sevier County Circuit Court Judge Dick Vance set a sentencing hearing date for July 24.

Oakes’ plea stems from a June 23, 2004, incident. A police officer at 11:30 p.m. found her topless and performing oral sex on the then 16-year-old student.

She resigned from her position as a biological sciences teacher at Seymour High School soon after the charges.

Oakes’ lawyer Barry Valentine sought pretrial diversion for Oakes, a move that would have kept the conviction from ever being entered against her if she behaved well during a probationary period.

Schmutzer denied the petition for the judicial break. A state appellate court in January ordered him to reconsider his decision.

In April, Vance again denied Oakes' bid for pretrial diversion and set a June 21 trial date.

Oakes, a married mother, is currently free on bond.

Broad that ugly must have some substantial oral skills to get any action.

Not identifying the sex of the student narrows this down to a subset of the statutory rape crime.

From the earlier article: A former Tennessee high-school teacher is facing trial on charges she repeatedly had sex with a 16-year-old boy who was in her biology class the previous year.
