MCMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A former physical education teacher charged with having sex with a 13-year-old boy who attended the school where she worked agreed to a nine-month jail sentence in a plea deal Thursday and was immediately locked up.
Pamela Rogers Turner, 28, entered a no contest plea that allowed her to avoid a scheduled November trial on multiple charges of having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the teenager during a three-month relationship that started in November.
A court clerk said the nine months in jail is part of an eight-year sentence for the former homecoming queen previously described by the sheriff as "absolutely gorgeous."
Judge Bart Stanley accepted her plea and said the jail time would be followed by supervised probation. He also directed Turner to surrender her teaching certificate.
The mother of the teenager previously described Turner as a family friend and said she hoped there would not be a trial. District Attorney Dale Potter said Thursday that was part of the reason for the agreement.
Turner was arrested in February and freed on a $50,000 bond after investigators said they discovered the relationship. Potter has said Turner lived at the boy's house "for a brief period of time when she was moving from residence to residence" while she and her husband were divorcing.
Before resigning, Turner taught physical education and coached girls basketball two years at Centertown Elementary, a Warren County school for grades kindergarten through eight.
I replied. Nice to meet you. :-)
There's always one of us lurking around somewhere.
And a story like this brings us out. LOL
Of course many years ago, when I was 13 I had to resort to "abusing" myself, if that's what your're talking about.
What is the character of a 13 y/o boy.....scary if you ask me.......
I'm sorry men and women just ain't the same...any red blooded 13 year boy would beg, borrow, steal, crawl over broken glass to be with this woman... it would be the teenage boy equivalent of hitting the state lotto power ball
Or how about anyone who thinks it's okay for a man to seduce a 13-year-old boy into sex? There are a lot of multi-million dollar liability payouts being made to guys over sex acts that were just as "consensual" as this was.

Thank you so very much. YOU CAN"T UNTHINK SOMETHING DAMN YOU. LOL

My teachers all looked more like Helen Thomas
than Ms Turner!!!
LOL. True. It just couldn't be something good now could it?
Re your post #144 - You need to read the article. She is going to jail. This is a serious matter.
there are differences in girls and boys,, let a 13 year old girlwalk down the road topless and see what happens compaired to a shirtless 13 year old boy,, my buddy was 6 feet tall and shaved when he was 13,, she broke the law but the kid wasn't raped
Hey, we've got 150 and counting on this thread...this was a public service, dangit!
I don't think I'd have *quite* the case of brain cooties about this if the kid had been 16. It's still an abuse of authority, it's still a criminal offense (in some states), it's still wrong, but there's a world of difference between a 16-year-old and a 13-year-old. I could see her getting nine months and supervised release for a 16-year-old...but jeez, a 13-year-old? That really is still child abuse.
And in the small world department, one of the guys I share an office with up here is from somewhere around Monroe. He lives in Richmond during the week and drives back to Monroe on the weekends to see his ex, kids, and current fiancee and *her* kids. Very Brady-Bunchish.

I understand. Which begs the question, I'll pose again: Doesn't the 'victim' have to press charges? That's the case in Iowa. Why did the boy's family press charges if they don't feel he's a victim.
My guess is if we dig deep enough you will find this is a family without an adult male in the household.
So your saying if you had a 13-year-old daughter, it would be just ducky if she had a sexual encounter with a male teacher?
To use your quote above, it would read, "maybe having had an older man she'll be a better lover when she gets older, and the men she encounter will be better for it."
I got on John Gibson's (FoxNews) backside when he posted a 'cutesie' poem about Mary Kay LaTourneau(sp?)and her student relationship....after all Gibson said, it was all just about 'Love.'
To some the only concern is that the girl can get pregnant, they don't see the emotional, spiritual aspect of things.....
Yes it is.
they are trying to equalize 13 year old boys and girls,, yeah,, that kid was in Playboy heaven
