A New Jersey teacher who had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student evaded prison time last week after her former students sent letters of support to the court ahead of her sentencing.

Ex-Fair Lawn High School graphics arts teacher Christine Knudsen was placed under lifetime parole supervision and forced to register as a sex offender, but won’t see a day behind bars if she doesn’t violate the terms of the sentencing, according to the Bergen Record.

Interesting language...

"The relationship was technically legal because the victim was the age of consent, but for the sentencing, the student was considered a child..."

Fair Lawn is a very nice, upscale place to live in NJ.

I wonder who notified the authorities, and why.

I regret following the link and looking at the picture.

As noted, the excerpted language is interesting. Perhaps everything President Trump has done is technically legal, sentencing to follow.

She should have been sentenced to the Zoo.

Perhaps if voters wrote letters of support to Trump’s court?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

That would be because she was under the authority of the teacher.

Which means it is a no-no and teacher should go to jail.

I know the students think that anything done by a pervert is sweet lovely and awesome but they are children and they are wrong.

He picture conjures up all kinds of questions.
1. A lesbian relationship?
2. What kind of student speaks in support of such a criminal?
3. Who would have guessed it would be an art teacher?
4. Are tattoos the new “badge of honor “ for pedophiles?

So being a queer obviates Law?

[oldplayer]

Lucky it wasn’t a straight White male. 20 years!

[NorthMountain]

How long before it “transitions”?

[Chode]

[albie]

Based on the tats alone, she shouldn’t have been allowed near children

[JimRed]

Straight male = go to jail

Lesbo lass = gets a pass

[Disambiguator]

She’s a witch! Check those neck tattoos. Then burn her!

The student could have been turned into a newt.
