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.

“There is no constitutional basis for that opinion either, but I’m right”
No you’re a wrong headed white-knighting mangina. Wrong is wrong and murder is murder so try to get your head out of your a$$ and look at the women “claiming” abuse as an excuse to murder their husbands. Awfully easy to claim abuse when the guy isn’t there to defend himself now isn’t it? And Putzes like you eat that stuff up, man talk about pathetic!
1. Yes, I'm male. 2. My guess would be that the kind of man who is dangerous and fantasizes about female students would not argue that a man committing that crime is worse than a woman. I am very happy to be married to someone my own age rather than in a relationship with a teenage girl.
You’re right. She does.
This is about how pResident 0 looks at muzzie terroist acts.
So you've never met a teenage girl?
She looks like a Fox News anchor. Not Guilty!
We disagree. I despise the "zero tolerance" treatment of drugs and weapons in school, for example, where a student with aspirin or with a pocket knife in his car is treated the same as a drug dealer or a student trying to re-create Columbine. I also don't assume that a woman claiming abuse is telling the truth in the dead husband (or divorce) situation, but if it is the truth, it makes a huge difference.
I’d rather see him face a firing squad but hanging would be acceptable.
You're right and that's exactly what the Constitution guarantees us. There's no 'hotness' exemption to the 14th Amendment.
I agree, but it won't happen under Obama/Holder. I'll be happy if we get life without parole for that traitor.
And as a man, who engages in teenage boy’s fantasies, by giving a pass to a female predator doing the same thing as a male predator, is called hypocrisy.
Very nice on the eyes . .
two thumbs up
Then you should be thankful this wasn’t a teacher from Louisville’s Male High School.
half-clothed fellowship ping
This calls for a good spanking.
“The law should be equal when it comes to these things”
Agreed! Unfortunately, we have a society that thinks a teen boy having sex with an older (attractive) woman is some sort of fantasy. A teen boy is a boy. The child was manipulated through emotion or alcohol to “service” some sort of youth deprived woman who is a predator. For example, notice how the article states that she is married. So what? Many child abusers are married. The defense for these women is usually “undiagnosed Bi-Polar Disorder” thus eliminating any sort of guilt. IMHO
“As a man, who engages in teenage boy’s fantasies..”
You engage in teenage boys fantasies?!! Ewwww
The problem is that a lot of people don't. Watch the show What Not To Wear on TLC. It's about updating the wardrobe and look of women. A large percentage of the women on the show have a wardrobe and style frozen in time from when they were much younger and a big part of those shows is the hosts showing them how to dress and look their age instead of trying to look like a teenager or someone in their 20s.
well, there ought to be.
