Quote :

"Sharon Edwards, 40, walked away from Teeside Crown Court after the judge ruled that she had been flattered by the boy's attention as a result of feeling trapped in an unhappy marriage and had let herself be seduced by him. The court heard that Edwards had sex with the boy a total of four times between September 2007 and January 2008. Edwards' husband Mark first became suspicious because she was exchanging 50 text messages a day with the boy, prosecutor Tina Dempster told the court. He spoke to her about he number of text messages she was sending to the boy but she said they were just having a laugh. He began checking his wife's computer for MSN messages and, through these, discovered that her lover was a youngster who went to the same school as their two sons. Mr Edwards then contacted the boy's mother who called the police. The next day the boy was interviewed by police and confirmed that he had had a crush on her and that they had had sexual intercourse the previous night. In one of the MSN chats the boy even asked her to buy him cocaine, and she said that she would not want any money for it. Deborah Sherwin, defending, said that it was clear from the video interview that police carried out that the boy was tall at six foot one, and mature for his age. Judge Peter Fox QC told her: "You have been a very unhappy lady for a very considerable period of time when this 14-year-old boy seduced you and not you him both so far as sexual matters and as far as drugs are concerned." He added that Mrs Edwards did have a responsibility as an adult to reject the boy's advances but said that he regarded the case as an exceptional one. She pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual activity with a child and offering to supply a Class A drug and was given a 12 month suspended jail sentence and ordered to register as a sex offender for five years."

WHERE WERE THESE TEACHERS WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL?

10/15/2008 4:35:44 PM

yeah, that statute had it coming.

10/15/2008 4:35:51 PM

nothing to see here. I've read the chat dialogue and this was an exceptional case.

10/15/2008 4:36:18 PM

the question is...IS SHE HOT?

10/15/2008 4:37:54 PM

geez, what happened to that show

10/15/2008 4:38:14 PM

^All of the pedophiles in this country are scared shitless and think that every offering is a trap.

10/15/2008 4:39:14 PM

^^ one of the people they were going to have on the show blew his brains out, basically. dateline and the police set up the sting. the guy never showed up at the TCAP house. later on, the film crew and the police went to the guy's house to arrest him. while they were outside, they heard a gun shot. the police forced their way in, and found him dead on the floor.

they stopped production of the show shortly after. the guy's sister also sued NBC for like $105 million for the death of the dude (a prosecutor). I think I remember reading about another lawsuit where one of TCAP's former employees was suing because she was fired. she was fired for their questionable moral approach to embarrassing people like that...


we all knew it was bound to happen. I hated that show because of that kind of stuff

10/15/2008 4:42:07 PM

sensationalism

10/15/2008 4:51:17 PM

10/15/2008 5:15:56 PM

10/15/2008 5:17:56 PM

if the story isn't accompanied by a picture of the teacher and/or "victim," just pile it in one thread with all the rest of them.

had it been the other way around...

10/15/2008 8:26:53 PM

This is punishment is digusting (or the punishment if it was the other way around is dusgusting).

12 months probation?

If the genders were reversed, the guy would go to JAIL for 12 YEARS.

Both are extremes.

They need to punish both genders equally, and somewhere in the middle, say, 5 years.
