Former Destrehan High School teacher Shelley Dufresne pleaded guilty to obscenity Thursday (April 9), admitting in court that she had sex with a 16-year-old student. The plea lets her and the student avoid a public trial and allows her to avoid a three-year prison sentence.

“These women have mental problems.”
All women have mental problems.
Two male teachers doing the same thing would be traded like baseball cards at Angola for the rest of their lives.
You must be really old lol, I do not need it, I generate my own.
If that had been me at 16, the only question I would have asked of the two at 6:00am would have been ‘What do you mean you’re tired, It’s a new day...sun is a rising and the Rooster is crowing’.
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,,,,,hot for teacher.
LOL, even CNR would have hit it.
What is the inpatient mental health facility going to accomplish here? Teach miss hottie not to have sex?
At the same time at the same apartment.
If that is what she wore to court, she is even stupider than I would have expected.
Perhaps she thought she could get protection from her father?
That’s a lot of Viagra.
<><><><
At 16? LOL.
You cannot have forgotten what it was like at 16.
Near perpetual arousal with minimal reason. Given a reason - perpetual.
Maybe something was rubbed raw.
oh yeah,, looks like she has bouncin’ and behavin’ hair . .
Two other judges recused themselves? I wonder what their conflict of interest was?
No Shiite
These girls gave him a gift and this is how repays them?
He should be shot...
Why?
So you can have children?
That ain’t right....LOL
As a guy who remembers being 17, it’s a nice fantasy.
But if I was this woman’s husband, it would be a different story.

It doesn’t sound like engrish and gives me anguish...
