You only need to serve 1/2 the minimum so thats 1 1/2 yrs
To Good Grief, the answer to your question is simple; THESE WOMEN ARE SO SICK THEY ARE DESPERATE. But don’t lump all teachers together, although I do feel that they are a bunch of liberal, dye in the wool democRATs with a herd mentality. You find perverts in literally every walk of life. And don’t forget that all of these adult perverts were once child perverts. You can spot a bully or a weirdo as young as preschool.
What the heck is wrong with these women! If they are bored with their husbands at home and want to have an affair do they really have to look for a “teenager” I mean really!
This is really getting out of hand, we send our children to school, and entrust the teacher to teach them and educate them and we have these unhappy at home wenches, trying to educate them alright, but about sex!!!!
Good grief, ladies…get someone your own age!!!!
This is just sick! Three years, well I hope you spend your time thinking about how you should have made better choices!
And the next 30 + years staying away from children since your will be a registered sex offender.
Perhaps others can learn a lesson from you, I hope they do, but I doubt it since another was busted in our state yesterday!
According to her plea deal she will serve between 3-5 years…Hope it was worth it..
She gives up 3-5 years out of her children’s lives, to have a sexual relationship with a student… Great job teacher!
Looks like she might be related to Jack Daniels. 12 years is a long time to serve for doing a 17 year old boy. When will they ever learn?
