Teacher Accused of Having Sex With Student Will Stand Trial

(DAVIS COUNTY)—Attorneys for a former Bountiful school teacher accused of having sex with a student presented their case in court for the first time Friday. At the conclusion of Friday morning’s preliminary hearing for Valynne Bowers, the judge ruled there’s enough evidence for Bowers to go to trial. The alleged victim, who is now 15 years old, testified Friday morning and gave mostly short “yes” or “no” answers to the attorneys. The teen admitted he initiated the relationship with Bowers, his former math teacher at Bountiful Junior High. After engaging in sex with the boy, Bowers faces first-degree felony charges because of her special position of trust over the boy. This “special trust” is a sticking point in the case. Her attorneys argue she never used her position as a teacher to influence the teen and when the two had sex, they weren’t at the school and she wasn’t his teacher at the time. Another teacher, Linda Nef, who had a sexual relationship with the boy, was recently sentenced from three years-life in prison.

She must have a very nice personality, or drugs.

That is exactly the type of attitude that somehow justifies ‘nailing’ a 16 yr old girl because she must want it.

This is all sooo wrong on so many levels. Having an orgasm is NOT the purpose of anyone’s life.

"Bountiful school teacher"

"because of her special position over the boy."

Some jokes write themselves...

We can use your two posts to illustrate a point. There will be pictures here, but not in your other thread.

Not so fast there, long march! Better consult Darwin and Freud first. Of course, I will add my support to the fact that, at times, it truly is the purpose of one's life. At other times it just seems that way.

Any pictures of Linda Nef who already got sentenced? This kid appears to have had bad taste but he is a player.

When an adult is incapable of distinguishing between appropriate behaviour with children and animal instincts something has gone very very wrong. Now maybe you believe that humans are merely animals. I do not. This is degenerate behaviour even on a really good day

I had to put my glasses on, I initially read " Bountiful " as Beautiful.

But I know ugly when I see it, so I put my glasses on and read the sentence once again.

It's hell to get old.

And apparently you have never grown up.

Too bad your parents didn’t do a better job with you
