There were naked photographs in the bathtub, sexual text messages and furtive kisses exchanged during a Lincoln High School assembly.
Those are among the accusations leveled against Meredith Powell, a 24-year-old math teacher who pleaded not guilty Friday to two counts of third-degree child rape and one count of communication with a minor for immoral purposes for alleged inappropriate conduct with three students.

Someone in a position of public trust and authority uses their position to corrupt minors. Yes, that is the proper punishment.
Do you have kids, Geron? Fair question.
Ding,Ding,Ding, Ole Don has a point. When I was twelve this happened to me. It made me into something that took almost 30 years to fix. Lots of therapy, and hurting people I loved.
Now if I was 16-17 would have been a different story.
She was in a position of public trust and authority over this (or these) child. Public officials need to see some examples. Lightposts
No. She is an adult in a position of authority and she uses that position to gain access to minors. Death is the proper punishment.
Are you suggesting I would want teachers to molest my kids if I had some??
Where were these teachers when I was in school......I don’t remember
seeing anything remotely like this in either HS or University.
If a 16 year old isn’t emotionally destroyed by being successful at
getting a girlfriend in the sack then a 16 year old isn’t going to suffer
any harm getting a piece of tail from a 24 year old.....especially considering
she could pass for 16.
“why dont parents just molest their own kids, is that where the perverts are going to go soon?”
I mean no offense, but your being stupid... You need to ckeck that.
Being stupid would be saying that kids should be having sex with teachers
Good Lord, man, I hope you're never on a jury that's faced with deciding someone's ultimate fate. I think you'd give someone the electric chair for the crime of infidelity.
My, but there’s a lot of folks with low/no morals on this thread. Of course the teacher was wrong.
Huh?
You've got a strange mind. I'm just asking a simple question. Do you have children?
“What if YOUR son came home with an STD from a public school teacher? Would you be proud of your little stud?”
Wouldn’t be proud of him either way, But he would have probably had more chance getting clap from a school mate, and much less likely to have become a father...
A public official abusing their authority to molest minors is what is being discussed. Whether they be 10 or 17.
The person who says they’d rather the teacher bang their kid than another kid, is probably psychologically unfit to raise kids.
There seem to be a lot of perverts on this forum.
“I dont think in a case like that, child support would ever come up... Just saying. If it did, we are totally screwed.”
It happens all the time. I remember reading about it a few months ago. Boys that are underage can be taken advantage of, get a woman pregnant who is indulging in statutory rape, and be financially responsible for the offspring until the child their “rapist” produced with them is 18.
Yes, that is how our system is set up.
“Hey kids, you are old enough for sex when you get a job and move out.”
not too hard
The teacher is the one who is to blame here, you know the supposed ADULT who failed to act like an adult.
yep
Thank God I don’t have kids in this messed up culture.
