15 Biggest Student-Teacher Scandals of 2009
Many people have fantasies of their authority figures, and vice-versa, but some people just go too far. Nearly 10 percent of U.S. public school students have been targeted with unwanted sexual attention by school employees. It seems like the frequency of student-teacher scandals is not dying down, with numbers like that. Here are 15 of 2009′s biggest student-teacher scandals.
Christine A. McCallum
Christine McCallum opened up the new year with the first student-teacher scandal of 2009. In early January, she pleaded not guilty to the charges of rape of a 13 year-old boy. McCallum, a 29 year-old teacher from the Boston area, allegedly carried on the relationship with the boy for 18 months, sending him sexually explicit letters, amongst other things. The teen came forward, stating that the relationship progressed after McCallum gave him alcohol. Apparently they had sex “every other day,” totaling over 300 times. She once told the boy that she’d choose him over her job any day, but it looks like she never got a chance to make that choice.
Lisa Lavoie
24 year-old Lisa Lavoie was arrested in February after fleeing with a 15 year-old student. After attempting to run away with the boy, the duo was tracked down and Lavoie was charged with enticement of a child and statutory rape. She would have been apprehended sooner, had the local police followed up with questioning, since she wasn’t seen at school. She’d only been teaching at the school for five months — she sure moves quickly.
Christy Lynn Martin
Christy Lynn Martin, a 32 year-old teacher from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, was arrested in March for texting nude pictures to a 14 year-old student of hers. She was charged with transmitting pornographic images through an electronic device and transmitting material harmful to a minor. She admitted to sending the pictures to him, but was released on $20,000 bail just the next day. Martin and the boy allegedly had a relationship, although she did not teach any of his classes. Good thing his mother found the cell phone.
Linda Nef and Valynne Bowers
March seemed to be a ripe month for student-teacher scandal, because just a couple of weeks later Linda Nef and Valynne Bowers were both arrested on first-degree felony charges for rape and sodomy of a child. Both of these ladies were teachers at Bountiful Junior High School, in Utah, and strangely enough — allegedly slept with the same 13 year-old boy (though he was 11 or 12 at the time). Basically, both started a relationship with the boy back in 2007 and neither knew of the other. That is, until the boy told them. Jealousy reared its ugly head and Bowers confronted Nef about it, turning herself in along with Nef.
Sarah L. Tolzien
Back in March, teacher and cross-country coach, Sarah Tolzien, was accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year-old male she was coaching. Evidence was gathered that indicated the relationship started back in 2008. The boy’s parents notified the police as soon as they suspected something was up, after Tolzien drove him home one day late after practice.
Lindsay Massaro
Twenty-three year-old student teacher Lindsay Massaro couldn’t even wait long enough to become a full-fledged teacher to allegedly have an affair with an eighth grader. She was charged with second-degree sexual assault, third-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact. No one knows how the week-long affair was discovered, but either way, she got off easy — with $75,000 bail and a psych evaluation.
Lauren Breslin
Lauren Breslin, a teacher’s aide at Veterans Memorial Middle School, was taken into custody back in April. The 23 year-old allegedly kissed a 14 year-old on the lips and texted him nude photos. The boy’s mother found his cell phone and contacted the police. Breslin also got off easy, like some of the others on this list, with just $25,000 bond. Why? Only because she had good ties within her community.
Kristina Anna Baeta
Another April arrestee, Kristina Baeta was taken in for lewd acts with a male student. The 38 year-old special education teacher was caught in communication with a 13 year-old boy and although details weren’t released of what those lewd acts were, we can take a guess. The boy wasn’t one of her special education students, but it doesn’t make this any less disgusting.
Reanna Jewell
Reanna Jewell, a 25 year-old freshman girls basketball and softball coach from Apache Junction High School was apprehended in April for alleged inappropriate sexual conduct with one of her 16 year-old basketball players. Wait, is there such thing as appropriate sexual conduct between a gym coach and students? Basically, there was sexual contact as well as sexting between Jewell and her female student. It wasn’t the first time this sort of thing happened at AJHS though — earlier in 2009 a male coach was arrested for sexual intercourse with a 17 year-old. Maybe the school should take a closer look at their hiring process.
Jennifer Lea Burton
Also in April, Jennifer Lea Burton was indicted on counts of sexual assault and improper relationship she allegedly had with a 15 year-old female student. Her punishments could range from two years probation to 20 years in prison with fines of $10,000 for each count. The 39 year-old has a daughter in the eighth grade, in the same school district. I wonder if she’d like the same for her own child?
Tamara Hofmann
In yet another incident in April 2009, 48 year-old math teacher Tamara Hofmann was at the center of a deadly love triangle. Hofmann called one of her students in the middle of the night, asking him to rendezvous with her. He obliged, and when things started getting steamy, Hofmann’s boyfriend came home unexpectedly, to find the two. He stabbed Hofmann’s student, who later died. Besides this drama, Hofmann’s boyfriend was an ex-student of hers. She taught him a few years earlier when he was just 17. Seems like quite the scandal, but at the time no charges were filed against her.
Jennifer Marie Collier
34 year-old science teacher, Jennifer Collier was arrested back in April on allegations that she had sex with a 14 year-old student. Apparently, after a school field trip she offered to drive the boy home, which sounds harmless enough out of context. But, instead of just playing taxi, she took him to a Wal-Mart parking lot and engaged in sexual activity with him in her car. She was charged with sexual battery on a victim under 18, lewd battery and lewd and lascivious conduct.
Gina Marie Watring
Gina Marie Watring, a 40 year-old teacher’s assistant, was arrested in May for having sex with a 10 year-old. A mother of three, Watring was accused of having sexual intercourse with the minor at least twice. The relationship was discovered when a fellow student found a note between Watring and her victim, and turned it into the school officials.
Alison M. Peck
Back in May, music teacher Alison Pack was arrested on allegations that she had sexual relations with a 16 year-old student. She was charged with several counts of sodomy and statutory rape in multiple counties. It sounds pretty run-of-the-mill in this context, but she didn’t just stop there. Even after being charged and told not to make contact with the boy, she allegedly had two of her friends pick him up and drop him off at a meeting spot. The two then spent the night in a hotel and engaged yet again in those sexual relations.
Helen Goddard
By no means is student-teacher scandal native to only the United States. Helen Goddard, 26 year-old trumpet instructor at the City of London School for Girls, was discovered having a lesbian relationship with one of her 15 year-old students. The relationship developed after meeting several times after lessons. In August, another teacher at the school received an anonymous tip to the affair. Soon after, the authorities conducted a raid and found the teacher and student together along with an assortment of sex toys. An interesting twist to the story though: the parents of the girl, both reported to be highly educated individuals, say they will have no problem with the relationship if it was to resume once their daughter turns 16 (the ago of consent in England).

Every warm blooded 'child' has fantasies of sleeping with their teachers (at least, the attractive ones) as soon as they hit puberty. I don't see any problem with it, provided no one is hurt, and its all consented. Throwing blunt comments around like "THIS IS DISGUSTING" is just plain uneducated.

Uneducated is obviously a Pedo, or an idiot. I vote he's a Pedo. It's a hint when the Pedo puts the word child in 'question' as if we sprang from the womb with a hard on just for him.
Sicko.
A meatball like you who spent his education wanking in the boy's bathroom to sounds of the football star in the next stall dropping a dump after lunch can't grasp this concept, but I'm going to spell it out anyway for the people that can read.
Not only has the 'adult' permanently scarred (to what degree you can't possibly know, maybe someday that person will commit suicide because of the experience, how do you know? Maybe they'll have recurring nightmares their whole life — a certainty with a stinky nightmare like you.
Maybe they'll spend years in therapy, or maybe they'll molest their own kids and destroy their family, you have no idea what your pathetic little self-loving pecker is going to do to another person, just so you can have one minute of guilt ridden (oh, the guilt never stopped you, did it, you move on real fast to find another victim, it's what animals do, eat then hunt more, in an endless hunger cycle. How's it feel to be forever hungry, dickweed?
You also robbed them of a human and civil right to be left unmolested until they choose to be sexual at a point where they can understand the consequences of both sides of a consensual relationship, where they can mutually exercise sentient freedom and liberty.
It's called rape, fuckhead, and you aren't just raping them physically, but mentally, and spiritually, and stripping their humanity, their dignity to be FREE.
Also, slimebags like you always weasel their way into a position of power, a coach, a teacher, a pastor, a boss, or a step-dad, oh, you stinky unshaven mothrfcks love to play the role of stepfather! Yeah, date a heifer so you can whack off while the hot daughter takes a shower before school, huh, brainless?
You can't get a real woman, so lie to one, and stalk the baby. Yeah, she smells like pimple medicine, and she hasn't wuite learned all about personal hygiene yet, but you don't care, because it's prey.
You can act all important, powerful, get respect like you were a real man (she doesn;t know what a scumbag you really are (she suspects it, but with uncertainty and some guilt that she knows you are the stain on the bottom of the toilet, but let's face it, the kid's software is fully loaded yet.
She watches Berenstain Bears cartoons and likes some kid in a boy band that looks like Pee Wee Herman on crack, but you'll still chase it and manuever your pathetic advances all around the adults that the kid relies on to keep you away from her, but you manage to find ten seconds where you startle her with something that makes her puke on the carpet and run screaming into her room, and throw the blankets over her head and hide from the world, crying from the depression that she's a prisoner of her mother's gullibility, when she could be playing at the park with her friends and enjoying life.
Yeah, you're a hero sandwich, a rotten one stuck to the bottom of the dumpster that doesn't get thrown out for the dump, just stays and stinks up the air everyone breathes.
You could become a Mensch (just a regular human being, I can't use the term like I usually use it around real people, "a righteous one") but you don't know what one is.
And some day, after you get caught doing your vampire thing, after you actually got up enough nerve to slip it in one, only to prematurely relieve yourself because you are too stupid to understand that the act itself is evil, and feels evil, a let down after you have built it up in your sick twisted crack-tweaked mind.
So, for ten seconds of something that felt shitty, now you are laying in a 6X9 cell, underneath some black dude from Detroit that smells like wet, dead cow. You are trapped, and you want to die, you wish you had a bullet to zip through your temple and end your misery, because you got 8 years to do.
Hell isn't a place with devils and pitchforks and flames and worms. That would be something. No, Hell is being trapped naked and cold, lonely, trapped in a stone carved out rock cell in a fetal position, unable to move to relieve your uncomfortable aching body. And you are in despair, and you beg for release. You have been thrown away like that smelly sandwich, and you rot, and you know…….you KNOW……you have no HOPE of seeing the world ever again, YOU ARE ALONE WITHOUT HOPE.
And you did it to yourself, for a feeling you never even tried to control (just whack it by yourself, or go workout, or go find you a 47-year old leather bagface crackho………
Better to be a respectable redneck fucker banging stink-pussy then a slinking Pedo, dude. The crackho had her shot in life, man, she's made her choices.
The kid is pure, full of life, potential, a spirit that if left alone will create a really cool life for herself and a big family, and will contribute her ENERGY and her BEAUTY to making the Earth a better place to live, a flowering Rose in a Garden.
She'll live a wonderful life, tens of thousands of days of joy, productive work, challenge and positive happiness……..she'll EXPERIENCE something you couldn't give her in your dazed and stupid phase…..
The Pleasure of an unmolested and joyful Life.
If you give her that, you give her a thrill that no money can buy………
The thrill of being touched by a Mensch.

I couldn't get my neighbor to come out and talk to the Press.

And stop acting like a bunch of drunken Soviet Gulag commanders…….as if we live in Siberia in the dead of winter, and we're all just trying to survive…….
This is freaking America, folks!
