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.

This is NOT a double standard. It's two different standards for two different things.
I expect double standards to be confused on DU, but not on FR.
That's certainly true. It's absurd to think that a teenage male doing sexual things with an attractive teacher is going to be discreet. It's an irrational expectation, and if she did have that expectation it shows a poor grasp of reality.
He's an idiot and goes to prison.
Or a young man offs himself over his lost love when she dumps him?
Then he has problems independent of the lost love. It's not her responsibility. He would have mental problems.
The double standard is sickening, in spite of the many fantasies I had for my good looking teachers as a young man.
This is not a double standard (two standards for the same thing). This is two different standards for two different things. I have a solution, only hire ugly teachers. Then the law will be equally applied.
It's a tender memory, nowhere near emotional damage.
Count me in. I'm 38 and would jump at the opportunity now!
What profession is that, training flabby belly dancers?
That was mean and unnecessary! I thought you were a kinder man than that.
I work in psychiatrics, thankyouverymuch.
Why are you proud of the fact that you would "jump at the opportunity" to have sex with someone young enough to be your daughter?
You think that is something to brag about?
Your penis is master over your brain and ethics.
The 'opportunity' that this young man indulged in was getting sexual with an attractive woman in her late 20s. I would indulge in that opportunity if I was 17, 27, 37, 47, 57, 67, 77, or 87 years of age.
I felt the same way before having 3 daughters.
Well not 60, 70 or 80s.
