Women Who Rape Boys They Were Supposed to Be Teaching (USA) the Ladies Don't Do That Sort of Thing, Surely? Well, That’S the Conventional Social Narrative Women Who Rape Boys They Were Supposed to be Teaching (USA) The ladies don't do that sort of thing, surely? Well, that’s the conventional social narrative. But it is not true. The purpose of this list – and accompanying blog – is not to demonise women. Any idea that all women should bear the guilt of a few is just as preposterous as when the same unjust illogic is applied to men. The purpose of this list, and blog, is not even to cast stones at the guilty women named. Its true purpose is twofold: firstly it is to undermine the aforesaid illogic – namely that the guilt of a few can be laid at the door of the entire identity class. Indeed, firing artillery at identity politics in general is a valid objective. The second purpose is to attempt to penetrate the gynocentric carapace which protects women from valid criticism. Women are not all blameless angels; they are no better than men. For both sexes, some are admirable, some are badly flawed, even wicked, but most are averagely decent. So here is a list of around 275 women in the USA who have sexually abused boys with whom they were in the power relationship of teacher-pupil, downloaded from WND on 8/9/14, http://www.wnd.com/2014/08/39783/12/. In (some States of) the USA this is classified as rape – though it would not be called such in the UK. Note that in some States the age of consent is 18 rather than 16. However, the overwhelming bulk of these cases relate to boy or girl victims younger than 16. It is often an offence for a teacher to engage in sexual relations with a pupil irrespective of age. The same is true in the UK. Most of these women did not offend just once, but had offended many times with one or several boys. A couple of interesting things about this list of sex offenders. Firstly, they are virtually all white, with just a couple of exceptions. This is most unusual for a list of criminals in the USA. Blacks usually figure disproportionately in crime statistics in the US. But not in this case. The reason for this is not certain, but recall this list refers only to perpetrators who are teachers. This probably biases the sample massively towards white women. The other interesting thing is that these women offenders are not ancient hags in the main. They are relatively young (but not that young) and often very presentable looking. Yep, it's youthful, attractive, white women who are the rapists. Who would have thunk it? Could it be something to do with their upbringing? They think they are entitled to whatever they want, perhaps? I've added at the end some instances of women guards at detention centres sexually molesting / raping juvenile boys. Abbie Jane Swogger, 34: Teacher’s aide at Highlands Senior High School in Harrison, Pa., was arrested Feb. 22, 2008, for renting a hotel room where police found beer, marijuana, an open condom wrapper and at least four teenage girls and boys, including several of her 15-year-old son’s friends. Though categorically denying rumors she was having sex with students from the school, Swogger was quoted as saying, “I was stupid, very stupid. I already know I was and I can understand you looking at me wrong. It’s the biggest mistake I ever made in my whole life.” Police allege Swogger “asked or encouraged” two 15-year-old runaway girls to have sex with her. According to a police papers, Swogger admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old boy and asked police, “How serious is that?” The one-time exotic dancer resigned Feb. 25, 2008. Swogger accepted a 3- to-6-year jail term that included a 36-year probation on May 26, 2009. “I’m sorry I was not the role model I should have been. I’m really sorry,” she told the judge. Abigail Holloway, 33 The former gym teacher at the Christian prep school, Kings Academy, in Sunnyvale, Calif., was arrested March 5, 2009, at St. Mary’s Academy in Englewood, Colorado, where she was working, on charges stemming from an alleged sexual relationship with a female student lasting from 2001 to 2005. The girl, now a student at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash., told a school counselor about the relationship that had occurred in California beginning when she was 13. During that time, according to the girl, she and Holloway were intimate Abigail Holloway “over 100 times.” “We have a very special relationship. It is a gift from God,” states an alleged e-mail from Holloway to the girl in March 2003. “Not many people are going to understand that, but we know in our hearts that God made us for each other!” Holloway is fighting extradition. Adrianne Hockett: Accused of having sex with a 16-year-old special- needs student in a Houston apartment she rented for the get-togethers. The boy has testified the pair would “have sex, drink beer and smoke weed.” Adrienne Laflamme Adrienne Laflamme, 60: Science teacher at the Brevard County Juvenile Detention Center in Cocoa, Fla., was arrested June 25, 2008, for having a four-week heated affair with an inmate student, 17, within days of his release. The boy’s mother said the teacher regularly picked him up from their home to have sex at her own residence. Laflamme had sex with the student at least 15 times, including one threesome with a 14-year-old boy. She has been charged with 15 counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of filing a false police report. Alison Mosbeck, 33: History teacher at Dueitt Middle School in the Spring, Texas, school district was arrested Oct. 26, 2007, for allegedly having intercourse at least three times with one of her students, a 14- year-old boy. The mother of one of the students’ friends saw text messages from Mosbeck on the student’s cellphone and alerted authorities. Alison Mosbeck Alison Peck, 23: Former teacher at Greenfield High School in Greenfield, Mo., was charged May 22, 2009, in Green County with statuatory rape after convincing two friends to help her spend a night at a motel in Springfield with a 16-year-old boy who used to be her student. Peck had already been charged in Dade County on May 14 with having Alison Peck sexual relations with the boy at a park in that county sometime between January and March. On the day after receiving that citation, she arranged with friends to meet the boy at the Springfield motel. On May 17, she was charged with statuatory sodomy and statuatory rape because the boy told the detective that he had liaisons with Peck at her home in Mount Vernon. Judges have set bonds of $2,500 in Dade County, $10,000 in Lawrence County, and $200,000 in Greene County and Leo has been issued a no-contact order, told to stay 1,000 feet away from the boy’s home and school and to surrender her passport. Allenna Ward, 24: Minister’s daughter from Laurens County, S.C., was a second-year teacher at Bell Street Middle School in Clinton, S.C., when she was fired Feb. 28, 2007, for allegedly having sex with at least five boys. Some of the purported victims, ages 14 and 15, were students at Ward’s school. Authorities say the married woman had sex with the boys not only on campus, but also at a motel, in a park and behind a restaurant. On Sept. 6, 2007, Ward pleaded guilty to six charges – three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor. “Today, I publicly admit my guilt and would like to apologize. I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions,” she told the court. On Allenna Ward Feb. 19, 2008, she was sentenced to six years in prison. Amanda Athey, 27: Charged Aug. 8, 2007, in Huntersville, N.C. with three counts of indecent liberties with a female student and one count of sexual activity with a female student. The relationship came to light when the girl’s father became suspicious of the Hopewell High School English teacher’s friendship with his daughter. She had told the father she was married to a man named Cal but after her arrest, it came to light she lived with another woman named Callie. Amber Jennings, 31: Though Jennings was initially charged with Amanda Athey having sex with a 16-year-old, the counts against the Sturbridge, Mass., woman were reduced to a single charge of disseminating harmful materials to a minor. She reportedly admitted e-mailing naked photos of herself to a former student. She received no jail time, only two years of probation after pleading guilty in September 2005. Amber Marshall, 23: Northwest Indiana woman allegedly had sexual contact, including intercourse, with several students at Hebron High School, and turned herself into authorities, telling police she knew what she did was illegal. Amber Marshall Amira Sa’Di, 30: Clayton County, Ga., math teacher at Mundy’s Mill High School was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a student in November 2005. She reportedly remarked she didn’t think her relationship was inappropriate based on her Internet research, learning Georgia’s age of consent is 16. Amy Beck, 33: Teacher at David Starr Jordan Middle School in Burbank, Calif., surrendered to police March 8, 2010, apparently overcome by guilt, according to authorities.

  • No Halo Effect for Sex Offenders: an Examination of the Effects of Appearance and Gender on the Public’S Perception of Sex Offenders
    NO HALO EFFECT FOR SEX OFFENDERS: AN EXAMINatiON OF THE EFFECTS OF APPEARANCE AND GENDER ON THE PUBLIc’s PERCEPTION OF SEX OFFENDERS Adam C. Austin, Karyn M. Plumm, Cheryl A. Terrance, and Heather K. Terrell University of North Dakota The purpose of the current study was to investigate judgments made about a teacher being accused of criminal sexual contact with a student, where gender and attractiveness of the teacher are manipulated. We investigated whether attractiveness and gender of the alleged perpetrator impact mock juror assessment of length of sentence, length of time on the registry, likelihood of recidivism, conviction rating, victim blame and empathy. Participants (N = 180) were asked to read a vignette and respond to questionnaires. Our results suggest that attractiveness-driven halo effects are not ubiquitous, but rather interact with the gender of the perpetrator and if mock jurors believed the actions of the teacher was a sex offense. Participants who did not believe a sexual offense was committed did not convict the attractive male teacher, but they strongly convicted the attractive female teacher. There was no difference in conviction ratings across conditions for those who believed a sex offense occurred. Keywords: sex offender, halo effect, attractiveness, gender In 2005 Debra Lafave, a female teacher in Florida, pleaded guilty to a statutory rape charge for having intercourse with a 14-year-old, male student. She was sentenced to serve three years of community control. Given that that the average sentence for a statutory rape charge is incarceration for five years, this is arguably a very light sentence.

  • Sentencing Disparities Between Male and Female Teacher Sexual Offenders
    Sentencing Disparities Between Male and Female Teacher Sexual Offenders: Do Male Offenders Receive Harsher Penalties in Arizona? by Christopher Simmon A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Approved November 2012 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Kristy Holtfreter, Chair Kevin Wright Cassia Spohn ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this preliminary study is to determine if sentencing disparities exist between male and female teachers who have been convicted of sexual misconduct with a student in Maricopa County, Arizona over a ten-year period. The hypothesis is that male teachers convicted of sexual misconduct with a student will receive harsher punishment than their female counterparts. In addition, this research will analyze the sentencing decisions of Arizona judges and prosecutors through plea-bargaining when compared with the presumptive sentence set by the Arizona Legislature. Issues that will be addressed include: a brief review of gender disparities in sentencing, sex offender sentencing, Arizona's rules of criminal procedure, and a review of the Arizona Revised Statutes pertaining to sexual crimes as well as the Arizona Supreme Court sentencing guidelines. The data set consists of fifteen different Maricopa County teachers who committed a sexual offense against a student and were convicted of that offense from February 2000 through September 2009. According to the results of this study, male teachers do receive harsher penalties than their female counterparts within Maricopa County. i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My special thanks are extended to my family Paul, Virginia, Jennifer, Rob, Robert and Jack as well as Lisa and her family for their patient guidance, enthusiastic encouragement and useful critiques.

  • Youth Counselor Helped Lover, 17, Flee Parkville
    Counselor Is Charged Youth Worker Helped Lover, 17, Flee Detention Center Outing, Police Say October 02, 2009 | By Nick Madigan | Nick Madigan,[email protected] Police knew just where to find the 17-year-old fugitive from a Baltimore County detention facility. All they had to do was trace a call he made on the cell phone of his lover - an employee at the center. The boy, a sex offender who had been in custody at a treatment facility in Parkville, fled Monday evening during a sanctioned group outing to a White Marsh movie theater. As Maryland State Police officials told the story Thursday, the boy made his getaway by hopping into a waiting car driven by Tyra M. Greenfield, a 26-year-old youth counselor. The couple spent the night at her home on Surrey Lane in Nottingham, where they had sex, police said. The next day, the boy used Greenfield's cell phone to call a relative in Laurel, Del., and she drove him there and dropped him off, police said. Detectives discovered Greenfield's involvement by tracing the call to her phone. The youth was picked up Wednesday morning at the relative's house by local law enforcement officers at the request of the Maryland State Police. He was taken to the Lower Eastern Shore Juvenile Center, and will be charged with escaping, police said. Greenfield, who returned home after driving to Delaware, was arrested Wednesday and charged with sexual abuse of a minor and harboring a fleeing felon. She is to appear for a preliminary hearing in Baltimore County District Court on Oct.
