Teachers as Sex Offenders: New Face, New Database

Sexual predators are on the rise in our nations schools, the perpetrators are teachers. Take a look at the following three cases; do you know what they have in common?

Grand Rapids, Mich., a teacher at South Haven's Baseline Middle School pleaded no contest to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old female whom was "married" to
 the teacher in a pagan ritual.

Ferguson, Mo., a special-education teacher is charged with statutory sodomy involving at least three students at Ferguson Middle School.

Tampa, Fla., an area teacher was convicted of having sex with a 14-year-old student in the classroom and at the teacher's home.

According to a new collection of teacher sexual offenders provided by WorldNetDaily.com

These three cases, among many others, involve female sexual predators, mostly in their 20s and 30s. These convicts, with wholesome faces and demeanor, range from former beauty queens and athletes to having romantic involvement with school administrators. The victims of these sexual predators include children of both sexes, with ages of the child victims averaging in their young teens, with a range between nine to eighteen years old.

Appalling is the fact that many convicted female teachers receive little to no jail time, unlike their male predator counterparts. Many female teachers, convicted of sex crimes, get probation, a year or less in prison, and some receive temporary house arrest. Judges are quoted, in some of these cases, as telling the felons that their sentences would be much more severe if these female sexual predators were male. In truth, if these sexual predators were male, there would be public uproar.

Here's another offender who was released too early: "Elizabeth Duggan recently completed a two and a half year sentence. He had a prior conviction in 1996 after being accused of fondling four of his neighbors -- three girls and a boy -- whose ages ranged from 6 to 8."

Not all parents can afford to put their children in private schools nor should they be blamed. When I was in high school my social studies teacher wanted to have sex with me and I went to the police, I had to endure weeks of tapped phone calls pretending that I was interested in having sex with him just so that they could charge him with a felony....Well they did arrest him, he only got 35 days in jail. I was infuriated, he had 3 daughters, one of which was only a few years younger than me and I still wonder if they were or are being molested by their own father. Something needs to be done to keep these people in prison, more vigorous attempts to keep them from harming more innocent children.

The woman who posted, and blamed the parents for the abuse that happens on the teachers part, is completely irrational. Public schooling, while it may not be the best in the world, is not at fault for a loose teachers' actions.

First off, the "victims" were predominantly female in the article. Secondly, the perps were female as well. Sexual abuse is horrible no matter the source: Mom, Dad, Teacher, Spouse, Priest, or Kid. These people are predators. Where are the parents? Why didn't they look out for their children? What an indictment against these folks who place their minor age children in public schools! Sadly, I hold the parents responsible for this travesty.

Great article -- but I have to take exception to one item. You compare the trauma to incest. No. In incest, you cannot get away from the abuser, and you have a higher likelihood of not being believed because those you would normally look to for protection are the abuser and possibly an enabler. With teacher abuse, your parents will almost certainly believe you, and you can change schools. While teacher sexual abuse is horrendous, there is really no comparison to the horror of incest.

It is disgusting as a teacher that these people give our profession such a bad name. Thanks for posting something of such importance. This is a 5 star article !
