I feel so sorry for her husband. It’s bad enough to have a wife cheat on you, for it to be an underaged teenage girl, that’s got to cut right through the heart. And, to think that for months he was sharing a bed with a child sex predator. Some people have expressed that he’s a fool for not having asked to join when he found out. I think he did the only honorable thing. The girl was supposed to be in their home to help her, and Jennifer takes advantage of that. He should be commended for helping to bring the abuse to an end. If a woman had put a stop to a man abusing a girl, she’d be given a medal. A guy who does the same, and he’s made to look like a fool. Shame on anyone who says ill of this man. He went from victim to hero in my book.
Talk about foolish. Turned down a five-year deal to continue her late night, rendezvous, lesbian, kiddie sex lifestyle. Take five more years, do not pass go and do not collect $200. She was kinda hot, too. What a shame.
I DID MEAN TURNING THEIR HEADS AWAY FROM THE CHILD IN DANGER.
THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE ?????? THRU THE WONDERFUL HEALING GRACE OF GOD AND LOVING PATIENT FAMILY MEMBERS. MY HEART AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE CHILD VICTIMS!!!! ORANGEFIELD HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PROTECTING THEIR TEACHERS AND TURNING THEIR HEADS TO THE CHILD IN DANGER. WHAT’S DONE IN THE DARK ….COMES OUT IN THE LIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, a woman who gets a sentence somewhat similar to what a man might get having committed the same sort of crime. I hope she enjoyed the gay kiddie sex, because she’s more than likely lost the relationships she had with her own children, not to mention her husband. This sicko needs to serve the full sentence too.

She was sentenced to 10 years in prison and will have to register as a sex offender.
She is due back in court tomorrow to take a plea deal offered by the prosecutor. I wonder if the media will be there.

She is back in jail. She apparently continued having a sexual relationship with the girl all these months AFTER she was caught.
Her lawyer said she turned down the plea deal because she wanted to tell “her side of the story.” Looks like her side is shaping up to be one of preditory sexual deviance and obsession. I’m wondering if they legalize same sex marriage whether she’ll pull a Mary Kay Latorno with the girl.l
Jennifer Lea Burton- This girl doesn’t do anything for the lesbian Coach/P.E. teacher stereotype. I’ve notice some common traits in these bad teachers.
1.Why are so many bad teachers coaches/P.E. teachers?
2.Why are so many named Rebecca
3.Why do so many have facial hair?
These are some common traits that I’ve noticed in a lot of these bad teachers.
Jennifer Burton, 40, who had been living in a friend’s trailer while awaiting trial on sexual assault and improper relationship with a student charges, turned herself in Monday after her bond was revoked and then increased by Judge Pat Clark. The judge received pictures showing Burton has continued to have relations with an under aged female at various locations including a hotel in Winnie. The relationship allegedly started in 2008 when the juvenile moved in with her and her family. Burton, was a coach and teacher at the time at Orangefield Junior High. She was relieved of her duties in March after she originally turned herself in on the charges.
Teachers have no business getting involved with students, nor their parents. You’re not hired to have sexual relations with students. NO, NO, NO!!!
Oh and ohaines, you are pretty disgusting. It’s the whole in authority thing that makes it completely vile. That and the breaking of vows and doing a child and doing it with the same sex. OOOghh thats wrong!
Yeah, yeah I know you politically correct weasels want to make same sex and animal sex and pedophilia okay, but ti still won’t be, ever.
