NJ Teacher Arrested, Accused of Affair with Student

I got my pencil! Give me something to write on, man!

I don't feel tardy.

The last few cases of this type of incident, the teachers were lookers. Maybe they felt they couldn't control their more contemporary boyfriends or maybe they were reliving their own High School years.

It happened in my high school, and yes, she was a Drama Teacher, and yes, she deluded herself into thinking she was in a committed relationship. So of course all of this is perfectly normal.

(and I'd hit it...but do sauce on the side)

So I guess women get a mid-life crisis too. Who knew?

They should charge and lock up the boy with "ruining a good thing" and then being done with it.

"Like everybody, she is presumed innocent until proven guilty."

Guilty of what, again? A consensual relationship? Leave her alone, please.

I'd hit it.

Heh... and do what triumph110 says and you'll also see that he posts that same comment on every newspaper article linked to on that (his, most likely) website.

This is happening all over the country. Go to www.schoolteachernews.com and click on the Scandal page. They have documented over 435 of these types of incidents since just the beginning of 2008.

I did enjoy the last name being "glide."

It seems to be a trend in this country: female teachers having affairs with teenage boys.

$100,000 bail seems ridiculously high.

All my teachers were old and/or smelled like Ben Gay when I was in high school.

*sigh*

why is this wrong?

This is getting to be a common event now. I'm not buying the isolated incident excuse anymore.

What the hell is wrong with these women? Haven't they got a shred of decency or judgement? This bimbo should working in a brothel, not a public school.

@Kyle T--that's a photo from the Old Bridge yearbook (faculty section, I imagine).

Glide?

GLIDE?!??!

At least make us work for it.

Is that her high school senior photo or what?

The "sexual assault" charge means they believe the kid was at least partly influenced by her authority over him as a teacher. All her lawyer has to do is prove it was completely his decision.

No, what he thought and whether it was freely his decision isn't a factor under the law. Maybe it would convince a jury or judge to go easy on her, but under New Jersey law she can be charged with sexual assault because the "victim" is "at least 16 but less than 18 years old" and she "has supervisory or disciplinary power of any nature or in any capacity over the victim" (NJCC 2C:14-2).

I graduated from that high school... this is definitely not the first instance of this happening, nor will it be the last.

I'd hit that like the fist of an angry god.

The usual "I'd hit that" comments should be coming in any time now.

The "sexual assault" charge means they believe the kid was at least partly influenced by her authority over him as a teacher. All her lawyer has to do is prove it was completely his decision. Shouldn't be all that hard since she's definitely much better looking than that Queens teacher a few weeks back. What male high school student hasn't had fantasies about attractive teachers?

something tells me this one is unfair...

Banging. Way to blow it, 17-year-old!

This should not be a crime.

because both parties are sick in the head,

for the student, both heads.

Apologies for sounding like what I am (a middle-aged, middle-class married man,) but can someone explain to me why a 35-year old woman who looks THAT good is making time with a teenager? If she wanted something young and hard-bodied, aren't there plenty of 28-year olds out there?

sexual assault?

seriously?

absolutely ridiculous.
