Cameo Patch

A female high-school substitute teacher in Utah will serve no time behind bars for performing oral sex on a 17-year-old male student, despite comments from the judge that a man would have likely gone to prison.

"If this was a 29-year-old male and a 17-year-old female, I would be inclined to order some incarceration," noted 3rd District Judge Mark Kouris during sentencing yesterday for Cameo Patch.

Patch was a fill-in instructor at Tooele High School, and was arrested after an informant disclosed her alleged relationship with the boy.

She was put on probation for 36 months, and ordered to obtain a psycho-sexual evaluation, as well as pay a $2,000 fine.

"The only thing I can say is that I understand the mistake that I made," Patch told the judge, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. "It opened my eyes to the life I want to live for myself and my [three] kids. I'll never wind up in this situation again."

She and her husband divorced last month.

Patch and the boy reportedly met in the classroom, but engaged in the alleged wrongdoing off campus after school. All indications are the sexual activity was consensual.

According to the police report, "... [Patch] and the juvenile met in a local restaurant, exchanged phone numbers, and arranged to meet to talk later in the evening. During the course of the meeting between the two, sexual activity between [Patch] and the juvenile occurred."

The informant stated Patch "performed oral sex" on the student, but did not engage in sexual intercourse.

Defense attorney Jon Williams said the boy had "created the environment and invited..."

"Not gender per se. Threat. 100lb women pose little threat of coercive action of any kind.

If you want to fight for the femninist ideal of uniform sentencing, be my guest."

Your defense doesn't hold water.
Patch was not charged with nor convicted of a crime in which physical threats or coercion was an element.

So you think that it is "feminist" to believe in equal justice in sentencing? Well then, I think I'll have to join the Founders of our Country as "feminists".

I got a raise today -- so YES!

Guys are different. It's a biological thing. Get over it.

I'd say it is a societal thing. It's that whole virgin thing -- which nowdays is mostly illusion.

Hell anyone who looks like Hillary should do time.

I think you'd be surprised at the ill intention any gender can harbor in this kind of situation. It's not as easy or as 'Bambi Does Bombay' as people think.

But bottom line, equal protection is just that, equal. Making adjustments in the laws for looks, genders, horniness etc only makes the rule of law useless.

'Sides, in this case, if it was a 'real' relationship, then all she had to do was wait for a year and he'd be fair game.

Teacher: How bout a Lewinsky

Student: Ok

LOL

I think the whole 'female virgin' thing is simply men don't want competition, or worse,
comparisons made between them and those who preceeded them.

[derllak]

And nasty pervert teachers too! Ewwww!

Innocent, 100%

That's only assuming he was out of school in a year.

[najida]

Dang, you're good!
I like you :)

Not pedophilia with a 17 year old.

yah, and traffic laws that refer to automobiles can be ignored by people driving trucks.
Don't be obtuse,you know very well statutes in most states don't use separate terms for pederasty and pedophilia. The court system is a mess, but semantic technicalities on that level won't fly. Well, not out here in fly-over country.

[N. Theknow]

When the 17 year old was asked by a friend if he was having sex with the teacher, he said, "No, I'm on the Patch."

[najida]

Exactly....

The issue being about authority and personal responsibility.

IF they really, REALLY wanted to be together, there were acceptable was it could be done that wouldn't break the law (granted, it would mean her leaving her family) but waiting a period of time, her changing jobs etc would have made it
OK and not an issue.

Now I better get my tail back to work.

"I doubt you will find any man on this board (at least one who is honest with himself) who wouldn't have jumped at the opportunity when he was 17"

You'd be wrong. I was sexually active at 17, and one time I was approached by a married woman in her late 20's. She was very attractive. I was shocked by that, and turned her down flat. That doesn't mean that I wasn't having lots of fun with the girls in my high school. I just wasn't attracted to women of her age.

Such stuff happens a lot more frequently that you'd think. A lot of 17 year old kids would say no to a late 20's woman. Heck, my mom was only 37 when I was 17.

Lol! Another smart FReeper joins my team.....the force is with me today! :)

I like taking things completely out of context. Cheers
