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.

Hmmm - ever since the Mary J case in the Nothwest these cases are getting tons of press & showing up more and more. We had one down here in the Tampa area a few months back.
Did that case open a flood and other women begin thinking about it?
What ever the case one things seems to be simular - all the women at the time were RED HOT on my "BABE" scale. In the other two cases imagine being the husband.....Got left for a 13-14 year old!
I think this case the teacher was dumped and she turned her attention elsewhere.
I propose a new thread devoted to how hot Arasina is. Well, it's just a thought....
Reminds of football coach in High School. He was 24 years old, had played 2 or 3 years as a safety in the USFL, and every single girl in the school was madly in lust over him. Would it been OK for him to sleep with the girls, "because they wanted it", of course not. Would it have harmed the girls, probably not, it would not have been the first sexual experience for most of them. You have to set rules for all teachers, otherwise what happens when a Homo gets into some poor confused 13 year old? Well the kid enjoyed it, etc. you let the hot chick off, you're discriminating.
AMEN!!! I am sickened by the absolute disregard for the TRUE issue here. Just because she is attractive makes it right? I thought conservatives had logical thought processes. Maybe I was wrong? And you all spew rhetoric about Liberals having no morals...BAH! Don't frequent this board and spew your hypocritical garbage, grow up and see this issue for what it really is! If we are to tout our "side" as being morally sound, it has to start here on these boards. If you are atheist, then you are beyond the message of these words.
Nope, there really isn't.
Yes, she is indeed! Wow!!!
What do you mean there is no comparison between this situation and a male teacher/ female student? Please explain...
"Will she still be Hot?"
-- Nope.
Being attracted to perverts stimulates you does it?
Good looking women stimulate me.
Ever since I was about 10 years old.
I'm not going to pretend any different.
Trust me, they're not all perfect. Some of them are "conservative" cuz of "freedom" - they think that means freedom to spew all low, base, ill-mannered words and thoughts and (gulp) print matter. Actually, in their minds, "freedom" really means "unfettered uncriticized expression" about same base matters, alot like liberals. IOW, any1 who says they *don't like it* (as opposed to being arrested!) is somehow stomping on their freedom. They honestly think, e.g., that porno magazines would be perfectly approved by the Founders.
He is going to be scarred for life because of this controversy...Do you really believe a 13 yr old is emotionally mature enough to be having sex--especially w/ an adult? That is the reason statutory rape laws exist--to protect minors. Do you suggest we get rid of them if the teacher passes the "hot test"?
You are right. Well spoken.
Not once did I say she shouldn't go to jail.
And you think a 13 year old girl WOULDN'T be wooed and enjoy having the affections of an older man???? What absolute moronic reasoning!
If it was a male teacher and a male student would you still be playing this "13 year old guys would do a pile of rocks" nonsense? I bet not.
This child was prey to this sick sick woman, your inability to see this just because the woman isn't physically ugly is rediculous.
