Teacher allegedly seduces boy, 13
Boston Herald ^ | 1/10/09 | Jessica Fargen

A married South Shore teacher was living a disturbed double life for nearly two years, police said, allegedly seducing a 13-year-old boy, plying him with booze and having sex with him on kitchen floors and couches, sometimes right under the nose of her husband.

Christine A. McCallum, 29, who is on leave from her job at an Abington elementary school, was charged yesterday with seven counts of statutory rape for the serial liaisons in Rockland and Abington from February 2006, when she allegedly took the boy’s virginity, to November 2007.

McCallum, a waifish bespeckled blonde who tightly clutched her husband’s hand in court yesterday, declined comment.

But her alleged teenage conquest told police they had sex more than 300 times - almost “every other day” while he was 13, 14 and 15 years old. The boy told police they had sex for the first time Feb. 7, 2006, on a couch at McCallum’s Rockland home while her husband slept upstairs, according to a police report.

McCallum and the boy had unprotected sex in the shower, on the kitchen floor and the living room floor on a green shag rug that was seized yesterday as a result of a search warrant, court documents say.

McCallum’s lawyer, Frederick McDermott, said McCallum took in the boy and his younger brother, who were being raised by a single dad. She denies all the allegations.

“She tried to mother the child because she felt sorry for them,” he said.

McCallum weaved her way into the boy’s life in late 2005, prosecutors said, when she became a tutor for his younger brother, let them stay at her house, emptied their backpacks after school, fed them dinner and gave them rides.

But within months, prosecutors said, McCallum was plying the boy with cranberry and vodka drinks, Jell-o shots and rum, and sleeping with him in her house and his house.

McCallum ended the relationship in November 2007 in a fit of jealousy, after she found out he was using the cell phone she bought him to text other girls, police said. They had sex that night for the last time, police said.

“She was crying. She kissed him and told him she loved him. He told her he loved her,” according to a police report.

Plymouth prosecutor Michael Scott said McCallum was “obsessed” with the boy, writing the boy 10 love letters. “I would choose you over this job,” she wrote, Scott said. “I trust you that ‘this’ can work.”

In a MySpace [website] message, McCallum wrote that she struggled with her desires, Scott said. “It’s hard to be with you and set boundaries,” she allegedly wrote. “It’s hard to kiss you and tell you no.”

Police said the boy’s father contacted police Tuesday after a friend of the boy told his mother about the affair. The mother told the boy’s father.

That's what sickened me about that whole thing. The broad stays in jail after getting caught with the kid again, has a kid, then has a "wedding," with all kinds of media coverage, photos, etc. This one tv blurb of her walking along the beach talking to a reporter about her "love" and how hard it's been....If it were a guy teacher and a girl, and he had done to her what MJT had done to that kid, they would've been clamoring for him to be strung up by his balls. Romanticizing perversion is never right.

"She tried to mother him" Interesting definition of what constitutes "mothering" for this freak.

"jealous he used his cell phone to text other girls." At 29, she's no "girl."

Yeah, that any whatever the kid includes.
There again, She'll more than likely get a slap on the wrist. Don't forget she's a teacher, Liberal and is a loyal UFT member.
Dollars to donuts she gets no time.
Now had that been her husband, they'd be calling for his gonads.

You know, I recognize that these women are preditors and all of that. It's an incredible abuse of trust. These kids will probably be scared for life. What I really don't understand is where the heck were they when I was 13?

It sounds like the opposite of the old movie “Lolita”! A little, sexy, blonde child of what, 14? It starred James Mason, Shelly Winters and Sue Lyon. (who was actually only 14 or 15 at the time!)It was remade in the 90s, I believe, with Jeremy Irons. She was very precocious, and the man (Humbert)was so obscessed with her! That’s who that woman reminds me of!
