A Warren County elementary teacher faces a maximum 100 years in prison if she's convicted of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.
Only news two was in Fentress County as 27-year-old Pamela Rogers Turner was arrested and charged with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape. District Attorney General Dale Potter said that Turner, a physical education teacher and coach at Centertown Elementary, had an ongoing sexual relationship with a male student. Potter said that some of the incidents even took place at school and at the boy's home, where the teacher reportedly lived a short while.
"Most of the time, we try to prosecute them as harshly as possible when it comes to sex crimes involving children. As far as this case, we intend to prosecute it to the fullest extent possible. As far as saying that she will get an x amount of time or anything like that, that will probably be determined by a judge," said Potter.
LOL! peacenik :o)
*chuckle*
Sorry, couldn't resist.
oh, no... not the kumbaya stick?!?
okay.
Cyborg, peace?
OMG, my daughter is 16 and the thought of her with a 26 yo man makes my blood run cold. and i KNOW my husband would be in jail and the man would be an ex-26yo man....
Because it really is different somehow. Men and women are different.
Okay fine. Peace.
Yeah, but they can do it 49 times a night.
He'd be at the bottom of the Hudson River with some concrete shoes if it was me.
*in semi ominous voice, with scattered coughing*
Yes, the Kumbaya stick..
It was revamped for use.
HA-Hahahahaha *coughing*
*chuckle*
As I said, couldn't resist.
[I won't try that voice again]
my husband is of Sicilian extraction, but we live in Northern VA so it would have to be the Potomac....
Yeah my twins are nine. I'm not sure where exactly the double standard comes in -- but male or female an adult with a child is wrong. At 15 I *thought* I knew it all. At 32, looking back, that man should be rotting in a jail cell somewhere.
I'd . . . I dunno. . but something to a 26 year old who touched my 15 year olds. Or my husband would. Adults have no business playing with children. It takes manipulation and having that teenager lie to pull it off.
BTDT, and I wish I could change it.
well, I *do* recall authorizing and deputizing you to do exactly what you did, so I kinda MUST obey, neh?
Ah dang! It's already been removed.
my son is 13 and if something like this happened to him, i would be the one doing the dismembering of the perp, before my husband would even have a chance to do anything. i don't see the need for a double standard based on the sex of the victim, regardless of the personal male freeper accounts of not being scarred by the experience. i think it isn't possible to tell exactly what sort of emotional impact it has had. i mean you seem ok now, but clearly it would have been MUCH MUCH MUCH better had you not had that experience at that age with someone that much older.
Lol!
Do I hafta try to do the voice next time it has to be brought out?
*wincing*
In his dreams. lol
naw - a deathly whisper is eeeeerier.
a hissing, whispering, BARNEY voice...
*shudder*
LOL
