After being accused of sexually assaulting a student last year, a former New Hampshire teacher of the year finalist is facing criminal charges.

This is the first case that County Attorney Patricia Conway’s office would prosecute under a relatively new statute that focuses on the relationship of authority over an alleged victim rather than their age.

Bridgette Doucette-Howell, 38, was charged in April and May 2021 with three counts of serious felonious sexual assault of an 18-year-old. The accuser was a Sanborn Regional High School student.

Doucette-Howell worked as an extracurricular activity theatre coach at the high school on a limited basis, according to the superintendent, and has not been affiliated with the district since. The Department of Education has suspended her instructor license, citing its top responsibility as preserving the safety of children.

For the student.

I’m afraid she will grade out as guilty.

[ronniesgal]

boy or girl “victim” ?

The Lez is strong with this one.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Most unsurprising, sadly….

Bridgette Doucette-Howell, 38, was charged in April and May 2021 with three counts of serious felonious sexual assault of an 18-year-old.

Since the victim was 18 at the time, that means that she must have forced herself upon him (and I assume it was a 'him' not a 'her-them-they...)

Here she is with beer goggles:

[who knows what evil?]

...another 18 year old male ‘victim’ of an older female teacher...

"...Doucette-Howell worked as an extracurricular activity theatre coach at the high school on a limited basis, according to the superintendent..."

Uh Huh.

Yuck...groomer.

20yrs...easy.

Disgusting.

[robowombat]

A theater babe, that explains it.

...another 18 year old male ‘victim’ of an older female teacher...

Nothing in the article says that the victim was male...

[Seruzawa]

Well, good. Now is the DA also going to go after the perverts who are grooming 1th graders?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Teachers (regardless of age) should keep their hands and other body parts off of students (regardless of age).

The power dynamic is too far off for it to be anything but abusive.

If they are "so in lo-ve" they can hold off until that person graduates and are no longer under their control.

The teacher is an adult and should act like one.

[sauropod]

I don’t know. She’s kind of cute.

[awelliott]

I’m confused. After all, she is an extracurricular activity coach. /s

Is this the student or the perv teacher? :-)

Seems like we see this story everyday.
