    I went to High School with her. She always seemed to be a little weird and I’m not surprised that this happened to her.

    Why is it when a female PE teacher get busted for having a “special” relationship with a student, most of the time it’s with a female student?

    What are the chances that a man charged with a similar crime would be ROR. Any man would be dishing out tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
