Since I know everyone wants to see the culprit. I find this sad for her, for her students, and for her family.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - It was a stunning development for students and staff at duPont Manual High School: a teacher has resigned and police say she could face serious charges after being found partially clothed with a student in a local park.
Now we're learning more about 38-year-old Carrie Shafer.
Manual students say Shafer's resignation Sunday was all the talk around school Monday.
And they say the reason it's so shocking is because, according to them, Shafer is a married mother who also led their chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Manual students we spoke with had nothing but kind words for Shafer, the former advanced biology teacher.
Kyle Peterson says he heard the news from another teacher who was visibly upset.
"A science teacher came in and told the class about her resignation and he was almost in tears because he felt bad for her," Peterson said.
"She's a good person at heart and you can really tell that in her classes," Peterson said. "And she cares about her students."
But police say Shafer may have cared too much for one of those students - a teenage boy they say she was found with Friday night in a car parked at Miles Park across from Valhalla.

Not Guilty by reason of Good Looks.(sarc)
She gets cited for “unlawful transaction with a minor”... whatever that means. She gave him alcohol and had sex with a kid. Why does our criminal justice system slap a female pedophile on the hands but charges the male? This is just wrong.
Since I know everyone wants to see the culprit. I find this sad for her, for her students, and for her family.
Ping for Verdict
Based on the photographic evidence no way is she guilty.
I love it when the article emphasizes 'Cared a little too much" for one student.....
Hehehe
Hmmm, not “that bad”!
This calls for a Pope Benedict Epic Facepalm:
There sure are a lot of these incidents. Does anyone have a statistic comparing sex abuse by government school teachers with the abuse by clergy? I notice that there is no national outrage against the teachers — each incident is considered isolated, and not symptomatic of a deeper problem.
Bush’s fault
Officer, it was nothing more than after-school tutoring. Honest.
“But I don’t FEEL tardy!”
Sounds as though she was performing above and below the call of duty.
I see the two crimes as completely different. An adult man who seduces a female student (or a male student) is far more likely to be successful only because of the difference in power. An adult woman who seduces a student is far more likely to succeed because it's what the student would want regardless of whether it's his teacher or a total stranger. Both should lose their jobs and go to jail, but the man's crime is usually worse in fact, and he should go to jail for far longer.
