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..."

Yes you can, I share that dream too.
Imagine no liberal teachings...we might produce another greatest generation...just when we need it too.
"..."If this was a 29-year-old male and a 17-year-old female, I would be inclined to order some incarceration,"..."
"But since you're a 29 year old hottie, you get a pass."
And meet me in my office during our 10 minute break!
I think I'll go home and see what the wife is doing.
"She's hot and the guy was 17 for gawd sakes. When I was 17 I was FAR from a virgin. Plus did I mention she is hot?"
So we should give a pass to teachers who engage in this activity when they meet a certain criteria. Huh?
Found another - and I work in public education. Happily married 26 years and faithful.
Oh that's what God was thinking! Who Knew!
I don't think she thinks that way myself :)
I work for my Father in law in a small family business. We have a moderate turn over, and we get a steady stream of people who go to work and then quit when we start garnishing their wages. Garnishing them for child support. A lot of them are men who conceived children as teenagers while still in high school. The victims in these cases are the children, mlbford2.
These children need and deserve parents who care for them. The young fathers who saddled themselves under a burden they could not yet bear while in their youth - Still owe emotional and fiscal care to their children. Saddled with financial burdens they can not meet, often they fail to mature as they otherwise might have. Their child's needs are the greatest. these men do not deserve to have that burden lifted, because their children deserve to be supported by them. It is these guy's responsibility, not that of some nebulous "society". The child needs the support of a father and a mother.
When you have immature people engaging in sex this happens. In cases where an adult woman is involved, She bears an adult's responsibility for risking the infliction of this state of affairs both on the young male and on any progeny they might have engendered.
The claim that this was "consensual" is ludicrous. Most hormonally charged teens do not have the willpower to resist a sexually attractive adult, particularly when you consider the natural effects of pheromones. Without a significant ability to deny consent then consent itself has no meaning.
Then there are the other parties who are involved. This is not necessarily between two people. Did any potential child consent to be raised without TWO parents? What about this woman's children? Looks like they lost having two parents already. "Victimless crime" indeed. In cases where the young males involved never become able to take care of children that result from these liaisons what happens to them, mlbford2? Do they starve? Do all these women marry some great superdad-type guy? Are these predominately wealthy women with a ton of money?
That last paragraph was rhetorical. The grand parents usually try to step in, and mlbford2, They didn't consent when nobody else steps up to the plate, the taxpayer picks up the tab (albeit in a fumbling, inadequate way) And believe me, I'm not consenting.
In my previous post I made it clear that I believe he has certain responsibilities that can not be abrogated. I also believe that the woman should JUSTLY have certain responsibilities - including a lot of hard time in a prison - for her action. In no way did I claim that there were not responsibilities on both sides. He was a minor - a status which indicates that he is still under a certain level of protection by society, do to the incomplete state of his maturation
Take it easy Mr.Edd, I was just ribbing ya. I don't think its right for any teacher to be giving hummers to their students. I was just jumping on the 'hot teacher fun waggon'. lol
Why not? There's a different standard of behavior for both men and women.
Wisdom from the bench! Kudos!
I disagree. Our culture places a higher value on protecting the sexuality of females than it does protecting the sexuality of males. She is an attractive woman in her late 20s and she got sexual with a 17 year old high school male. It's absurd to think that he was damaged in some way.
It's a tender memory for him. Very clear to me.
That's because doing sex things with young, attractive women is pleasurable, while doing sex things with holder hags is much less desirable.
I do. Sex things with attractive, willing young women is to be encouraged. Sex things with ugly, willing old women is to be discouraged. It's an immutable law of the universe, at least at my townhouse.
