Leah Pourdavood, 40, a pre-kindergarten teacher at Jones Elementary, in Jones, Oklahoma and her husband, Reza Ross Pourdavood, 53, a professor at Langston University have been arrested in connection with the alleged sexual abuse of an Edmond teenage girl.

Reza Pourdavood was arrested on seven complaints of child sexual abuse and Leah Pourdavood was arrested on one complaint of enabling child abuse.

The Pourdavoods came to the attention of authorities when the alleged victim went to her high school counselor and asked questions about how to deal with people “getting in her face and yelling.” As the counselor talked with the girl the allegations of abuse came out.

Reportedly both Leah and Reza Pourdavood were released from jail on $70,000 bond each.

Jones Public Schools Superintendent Mike Steele says the school system is conducting its own investigation and that Leah Pourdavood is suspended from teaching duties.

Lori June Canady, 35, a former teacher’s aide in the Jennings, Oklahoma school system has pleaded guilty to the second-degree rape of a 15-year-old male student.

Tulsa County District Judge William Kellough sentenced Canady to an 8year suspended sentence. While this gives Canady a felony conviction it does not require her to serve prison time but does require her to register as a sex offender.

Canady admitted that she picked the boy up at his home on February 18th of this year and took him to a Tulsa shopping mall before they went to the Best Western motel in Sand Springs.

Okay, let’s conduct a little poll, if anyone is interested:

If the offender was male and the victim female do you think the rapist would have received a suspended sentence?

• No, Lori June Canady received the 'female discount'. (95%, 286 Votes)
• Yes, of course the law treats everyone the same. (7%, 21 Votes)
