Teacher Charged With Having Sex With 13-Year-Old Student
Wednesday, Feb. 9, 2005 McMINNVILLE, Tenn. - An elementary school teacher has been charged with having sex with one of her students, a 13-year-old boy, at his home and at school, authorities said Tuesday.
Pamela Turner, 27, was charged Monday with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape for acts between November and January. Story Continues Below
Turner, who teaches physical education at Centertown Elementary, lived at the boy's house "for a brief period of time when she was moving from residence to residence," Warren County prosecutor Dale Potter said. The boy's parents did not know anything about the relationship, he said. Potter said Turner was arrested Monday in Clarkrange, her hometown about 55 miles northeast of McMinnville in central Tennessee.
Conviction on all counts could be punished by up to 100 years in prison. But Potter said it was more likely that a conviction would mean a minimum of a year to several years in prison.
Turner is free on $50,000 bond. She's been placed on leave by the school system.
A telephone message left at the home of her father, who lives in Clarkrange, was not immediately returned Tuesday evening.
Turner's husband filed for divorce in January, alleging inappropriate marital conduct, according to the Southern Standard newspaper in McMinnville.

"It's usually those same fathers that refuse to "fix" their male dogs but it's fine to spay a bitch."
You know why? Cuz, AGAIN, they don't have to live w/the consequences of their dog's swinging his @$%! around. Only the bitch owner has to live w/that! So who cares?! (Sometimes...men....oooooooo)
The woman's nuts. She raped this kid and it was all about power. Sex was a means to an end. No pun intended.
She's what -- twenty-seven? She's dressing as if she's thirteen.
Are you saying her and the student getting their rocks off somehow equates to torture?
The kid must be a homo if he's the one who told.
If she was fat and ugly, it'd be different responses so yes that makes you an enabler of sex perversion and a slave to your penis.
You're sick.
Ha! You are right!
The law has to do with the age, not the gender, of the offender.
That's the law. A law has been broken. She should go to jail.
Now if women think that the law is unfair from their perpective they need to have it addressed.
Actually, it seems she must've been screwing him much earlier - she was living w/the family earlier when it started, and the husband only *last month* filed divorce.
And on these woman-teacher things....we had a case in a rural, conservative county last year. Woman similar age was having a party for a bunch of these HS guys, at once. That's when it was caught.
Not sure if it's a true epidemic, but it's happening quite a bit.
The Oregon case came out I think mostly cuz she got pregnant. Otherwise we might not hear these stories on a national stage.
I think it goes even further than that. I think they see it as an extension of their @$*! and are glad it's swinging around. Good dog! Go "tag" another one.
Nice way of avoiding my question. Should the law be amended to state that only males as capable of being sex offenders?
Well, that's true. But I do think they like to play w/it, don't they? In process what happens?
That's not my call.
I'm not a woman.
Now you're being ridiculous.
Good point.
Yeah,
and what if she was his hot step-mom of oh, lets say, 4 years?
Semi-incest or lucky break?
Or the sexy next-door neighbor lady who he has known since birth.
Semi-incest, molestation, or lucky break?
Voluptuous, but mentally unstable cousin, who's just a bit stronger than him.
Semi-incest, incest, molestation, or lucky break?
Gorgeous adoptive mother, who has lost her husband (his father) and sees a second chance at happiness.
Semi-incest, incest, molestation, or lucky break?
How is that ridiculous? What if the female student "wanted it" from the male teacher?
A child is the victim.I don't understand what makes this teacher any different than the male coach who coerces an adolescent female into having repeated sexual intercourse with him.Are you implying that this teacher did not commit a crime by preying on this student at least 28 times?All of you seem to assume that this was consensual,and that the teacher didn't use some type of threat against the student.(grades,sports participation)She was obviously a sick,evil woman,who got her rocks off over using her authority over an impressionable kid.
I babysat a boy since birth. He grew up to be a fine young man. I'd never sleep him. He's a kid. Grown women who have sex with young boys have issues. Perhaps this is why some men get divorced, run around with women,etc.
And we have a winner!
For every 3 boys who aren't 'hurt' by this, you have the one where it is pretty frickin' damaging--- because the woman has been in a surogate mother role.
And like you said, why would any woman want a teenager! Geez, talk about a bottle rocket.
