KUTV) SOUTH JORDAN A former high school teacher accused of having sex with a student was severely beaten inside her home.
Thirty-year-old Melinda Lee Deluca told police she came home Friday afternoon and was alone when she was jumped from behind. Police said she was beaten so badly that she was flown by medical helicopter to the hospital from her home in South Jordan.
Deluca was recently accused of having sex with one of her students at Copper Hills High School in West Jordan. Police believe the assault could be related to the charges.
“It does appear that this is related to the incident in West Jordan with her teaching position at Copper Hills High School," said Lt. Matt Evans with the South Jordan Police Department. "It doesn't appear to be a random event.”
"I hope they find out who did it and I hope they put them away. Underage or not – nobody deserves anything like this,” said one neighbor who didn’t want to be identified.
Police are not saying wether the two suspects were men or teenage boys.
Note to self. Read entire posts and pay attention.
Note to GOPJ: Sorry.
I've done the same thing before -- I'm glad we're on the same side.
Forcible sex? The boy was 16? Hard to believe.
My feeling is that you're being intentionally obtuse to make a point. What it boils down to is this: a healthy, heterosexual, 17-year-old male will likely make a rapid and full psychological recovery from having one of his earliest sexual experiences with an attractive, heterosexual, 29-year-old woman.
The woman is a criminal who must be punished with the full weight of the law. She should no longer be allowed to teach and should absolutely spend time behind bars. The good news is that this teenager will very likely be psychologically unharmed due to these events.

Get your facts straight! She taught normal high school students who had no such disability. They were as normal as anyone. Drugs?? Alcohol?? Where are you people getting your information??
Remember that she was accused, not convicted.
Thanks for staightening us all out!
Oh Hush.
Perpetual torment! Tie these horrific creatures down and use razors to scrape off only the topmost layer of skin, and them soak them in brine and capsicum sauces! Put needles in their eyes, let them heal, and do it again!
