Another Hot for Teacher

[Sooner in Tampa]

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A Tacoma judge ignored a plea bargain and sentenced a former Buckley teacher to six months in jail for having sex with a 17-year-old student in April, 2006.

Rebekah M. Todd, 25, had expected a sentence of 30 days in home detention when she appeared Friday in Pierce County Superior Court. She had pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree assault.

Prosecutors said they had evidence she performed oral sex on the White River High School boy. The health and physical education teacher resigned after she was accused and forfeited her teaching certificate.

Double cheeseburger, hold the lettuce!

Man oh man....where the hell did they start producing these hot teachers?
I can only think of one teacher I had growing up that was hittable.

And boy was she hittable......

Nowhere near as pretty as Lefave...or that one in Colorado.

like she owed me money

Okay,
I'm going to come right out and say that I think a double standard is just fine. Male teacher to female student sex is far far worse than a female teacher to a (not all that much younger) male student.

I'm not sure anyone can claim that this guy was a victim with a straight face. The circumstances would be different were the kid under 15 or so, but honestly......17? Please.

This kid isn't a victim, he's a hero.

The fact that he couldn't keep his mouth shut about his new found buddy and her talents is what ruined her career. What a loser.

a lot of money

[jk the sooner fan]

or even just some pocket change

She was a health teacher, he was just getting extra credit during the sex education lessons...

[SicEmBaylor]

Well, I think she ought to be fired. I mean it is highly inappropriate for a teacher to engage in that activity with a student. You can't exactly continue to employ a woman who blows her students.

That being said, I hardly think she should be prosecuted for having oral sex with a 17 year old kid.

[yermom]

yeah, the fact that she was the health teacher is just kinda funny

I agree that your average teenage guy is not going to be traumatized by something like this, but screw the double standard. There are few things in our society that scream WRONG more than something like this. This woman did it and expected a 30-day house arrest sentence. Kudos to the judge for dropping the hammer.

What's so wrong about it that firing her from her job and banning her from teaching wouldn't have solved?

Is it really that big a crime against society for a 25 year old woman to have oral sex with a 17 year old...probably a guy who will be 18 very soon?

[rufnek05]

as soon as that is said then some perv teacher is goin to take some girl out to eat, and he'll use the same "is it a crime against society" line.

C'mon, every school in the country probably has rules against this sort of thing. It's more than likely in her contract not to have relations with any student regardless of the student's age. She broke the law, and should pay the penalty.
