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.

No there's not. A predator is a predator, and your PCness or lack of ability to date attractive women yourself.. or both, blinds you from reality.
A predator is a predator whether they wear a thong or a speedo.
I don't know about that.
I'd like to point his father to this thread; when he reads that stupid, asinine sentence by this poster trying to justify his insensitivity (if not over-sexed mind-set), I'm sure he might like to wring his little neck.
"You're no different than those yahoos who get excited anytime they see that pedophile Michael Jackson."
-- I'm much different. And I'm honest about it. Unlike some people. This is all PC nonsense. Should she be put in jail? YES. But I'm not going to pretend that a homosexual abusing a young boy is the same as a 13 year old boy tagging his hot teacher. It isn't.
Oiline,
Just please don't lump all of us men in with the handful of scumsuckers here trying to excuse this predators action. I suspect it has more to do with the fact that they could never date an attractive woman as to why they can't seem to realize that this chick is a predator and her physical appearance makes it ok.
I have to laugh at this thread and the "moral outrage". By pointing out the obvious HOTNESS of this predatory (but still hot) woman you are now equated as being a homo loving, pedophilia cheering fan of Michael Jackson.
Only on FR.
So is the boy. BOY is he HOT! Gotta get summa that! Got my cheerleader skirt on and headin' to the ballgame right now!
Testing to see if there's truly a double standard. Will the result be the pulling of my post but not yours? :o)
#1, how do you know this boy "tagged" (more typical male disrespectful language) his teacher? I believe the shoe's on the other foot. Ever think maybe the boy didn't "want" it per se? He may not have objected, but just may have done it cuz she said so and went along?
#2 in that sense, it could be just as much the boy going along w/the woman as w/the man.
lol
It's unreal, isn't it?
I'm getting tattooed as a nutcase because I'm honest.
;-)
HOW OLD ARE YOU!?!?!?
HOW OLD ARE YOU!?!?!?
I'm sorry, but if a male doesn't want to have sex with someone a certain part of his anatomy won't cooperate.
correction- 28 counts....
furthermore,who's to say this kid is her first victim?Pedophiles like this don't usually confine themselves to one victim.
Please explain...
What damage does a male pose to a girl, that a woman doesn't pose to a boy? By your rational, a woman cannot sexually abuse a boy, right?
Nothing to add here.
No, no no....I'm just saying there is a basic physical difference that probably leads to this kind of thing alot (esp. in today's immoral and mannerless society). I certainly do not despise men. Mostly I love them more than women - I mostly understand them better, interested in "manly" things and seem to befriend them better. But sometimes, as w/anything we love - there are things we just don't get at all!
And actually, I don't like to make "gotcha" accusations such as "they could never date an attractive woman"; you'd probably find that's untrue. Trying to assign envy to some1 you don't know is crazy. And in fact it's a false *excuse* for their behavior. Do you really think dating an attractive woman would change him? Bottom line, such lack basic decency.
To those that would fantasize about this, just put yourself in the husband's shoes.
