This just in! Case is now bound over for trial. Is he guilty? We will have to wait and see. My money is on the justice system.
The plea to a lesser charge is b/c the attorney gave him bad advise. Plea arrangement was baloney, so this will go to trial. The real evidence will come out and he will be found not guilty!
That’s why opinions are like aholes. Mr. Whiskeytits little sister was only in his class. Not the girl in question. Way to make the victim feel like she was at fault. She is a minor and he is an adult. The only character here to be judged is his. So, Peter Cottontail, Just because you have one doesn’t mean you have to be one!!!
For all to read: No one except for the defendant, prosecutors and law enforcement actually know who the girl is. If you knew the girl you have referenced in your comments, your comments would be different. I know this web site says they are innocent until proven guilty, however, I have first hand knowledge of the evidence against him, and the proven guilty part is only a matter of time. If he were innocent, he would not be trying to plea to a lesser charge. DO THE CRIME, DO THE TIME!
With a name like “whiskeytits,” who addresses others as “dude,” at this point I give this teacher the benefit of the doubt. If your little sister is anything like you appear to be as based upon your statement on this webpage, I’d be inclined to drop the charges against him. In a case such as this one, character counts on both sides, and so far your side hasn’t counted for much.
I honestly don’t believe it. He’s not that kind of a person!
he was my teacher!
What’s more horrifying is that same girl has a brother who’s computer-handle is whiskeytits.
Dude. My little sister was in this guy’s class.
Horrifying.
