Good morining...jeez, what a news junkie I am...have been catching up on last week's news.

Amazing thread Mo on Billybub clinton's speech to the fawning, "clinton 101", history class...I guess I believe that the more this nutcase is in the public eye, the better it is for conservative politics. Seems a lot of democrat's are saying the same thing...he should shut up. I say MORE clinton!!

Dawson teacher arrested, charged with sexual assault
By MARTHA ASHE Special to the Tribune-Herald

DAWSON — Navarro County authorities on Friday arrested a high school teacher with the Dawson public school district, about 25 miles east of Waco, charging her with sexual assault of a student.

A Navarro County grand jury on Thursday indicted 23-year-old Katie Fox of Corsicana on one count of sexual assault of a 15-year-old female Dawson High School student.

Steve Keathley, Navarro County district attorney, said the alleged assault occurred in late January of this year but wouldn't say if it occurred on school grounds.

Keathley said he could not comment on the specifics of the case but said it was presented to the grand jury after an investigation by the Navarro County Sheriff's Department.

Fox turned herself in at the Navarro County jail Friday afternoon, a sheriff's spokeswoman said, and was in the process of posting bond. Bail was set at $15,000.

Fox, who has an unlisted phone number, could not be reached for comment. Her attorney, George Robinson of Fairfield, would not comment Friday.

Keathley said investigators videotaped a statement by the student through the Corsicana Children's Advocacy Center. The video was shown to grand jurors, he said.

James Stansberry, Dawson superintendent, said the district investigated the allegation and turned over information from that investigation to authorities.

Stansberry would not comment on the specifics of the case or any possible discipline action, citing advice from attorneys.

Fox was in her first year of teaching, Stansberry said.

"She's been a very good math teacher and a very good coach," he said.
