A second female teacher has been accused of molesting a male student, Kern County Superior Court records show.
Jennifer Lynn Sanchez, 31, a mathematics teacher at Buena Vista Continuation High School in Taft, was charged on Dec. 22 with four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student, and one count each of oral copulation and sodomy with the same student.
She has resigned from her teaching job, school officials said Thursday.
She has pleaded not guilty in the Taft division of Kern County Superior Court and is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 26.
Her bail initially was $150,500, but it was reduced on Dec. 28 to $25,000 and she has since posted that bail, court records show.
The case was investigated by the Taft Police Department. The alleged sexual encounters occurred between Oct. 1 and Nov. 21.
This case was brought to light following the arrest Wednesday of Sherry Brians, 41, a seventh-grade teacher at Buttonwillow School who was charged with engaging in lewd acts with a 12-year-old boy at the school. She is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in the Shafter division of Kern County Superior Court.
15 will get you 20
He's 17 that would be legal in some states.... this isn't nearly like the case with the 40 year old and the 12 year old... she is stupid and should be fired but I don't see the point of taking up prison space with her.
Legalize the double standard. Equality is not equivalence.
Taft, CA ping!
Seems like ther's a new case every week. Either female teachers have gotten a lot more wild n' crazy in recent years, or this stuff used to go on all the time and nobody thought it a big enough deal to prosecute.
[end of the usual stupid rant posted on these threads]
Most boys wouldn't tell....
why should they?
"Seems like ther's a new case every week. Either female teachers have gotten a lot more wild n' crazy in recent years, or this stuff used to go on all the time and nobody thought it a big enough deal to prosecute."
It was certainly going on in my day... but what boy would spill the beans? And would turn in a cool teacher? Sheesh..the younger generation is very disapointing sometimes...
Now as a teacher I wouldn't even tap a girl on the shoulder... but that's different. :)
Apparently she wasn't that good of a math teacher or she would have known the odds.
No, they don't tell, they brag.
...four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a 17-year-old student, and one count each of oral copulation and sodomy with the same student.
"4 + 1 + 1 = 6. See how easy addition is, Johnny? Now try it again, sweetie..."
It was usually male teacher after female students back then. Now that was a big deal. The guy was ruined for life, though there was one teacher smart enough to wait for a classmate to become of age, and then he ended up marrying her......
You forgot to add "pictures, where are the pictures?".
My 8th grade English teacher, a real cutie, caused irrepairable damage to me which I have never gotten over.
She never even hinted a thing much less .. urrrr... never mind.
which begs the question..
Do teachers colleges even teach ethics these days , much less any institution?
I'm not sure how she gets charged with Sodomy, it seems like that would be something he would have done.....
Plus, didn't the Supreme Court rule that Sodomy was OK?
I know where you're coming from, but I disagree with your premis. This woman was 35, he was 17. Besides the "sick" factor here, its IS against the law. If we start watering down sentencing because some states are more permissive than others, the respect for the law becomes a joke. Absolutely no teacher in K-12 should ever under any circumstance be allowed to have sex with a student. Period. I don't care if you have a 19 year old on his third try at senior year. Teachers are in a position of authority and like any other workplace, authority is too easily abused and should be prohibited.
"He's 17 that would be legal in some states.... this isn't nearly like the case with the 40 year old and the 12 year old... she is stupid and should be fired but I don't see the point of taking up prison space with her."
It's legal in California, too, but it's against the law for teachers to have sex with minor students. That's why the unlawful sexual intercourse charge.
Otherwise, 17 year olds can rut as they choose.
She was 31. Doesn't change your point, just wanted to correct the record.
I'm here for the pictures. Just kidding.
OK, I'm not kidding. Where are the pics?

Agree. I just see no point in putting her in jail - fire her and ban her from teaching.
Maybe she cut him off?
LOL. HERE WE GO AGAIN...:)
(Where's that darn popcorn eating icon...)
She's a friendly one, though, isn't she?
Agreed. During my entire student career I was only aware of three teachers sleeping with students... the one male teacher was caught and fired (and now manages a shoe store) but the two women, one straight, one lesbian -well nobody even thoguht of turning them in.
Good point.
Okay...THAT made me chuck my can of soda on my keyboard...
It's probably easier to put a unionized teacher in jail than to fire her.
5 years probation, 500 hours community service, $5000 fine
fair enough?
But when same minor has intercourse with someone much older the verbiage is "molestation", "minors can't make decisions like that", "children shouldn't be having sex", etc. etc.?
In most states oral sex is considered sodomy [legal definition].
"It's probably easier to put a unionized teacher in jail than to fire her."
an excellent point.
Say Norm, you were right about that "spate" thingy I was talking about last night.
When I was in the sixth grade, I had to go to summer school for Math. My teacher was this drop-dead beautiful young thing (even to a sixth grader) and I had an unbelievable crush on her. I don't remember minding going to summer school. I heard every sailor on the base was after her, and she ended up marrying one...gosh, my little sixth grade heart definitely went pitter-patter. No wonder I never got the hang of math.
You are just a bit too eager!
Human nature, sadly.
Not all succumb , but.. cultures eventually crumble from within as morals and ethics are ignored by their leaders.
I won't mention my German teacher.
My geography and history teachers offset her to no end, however.
;-)
It must have been lonely out in the desert..
Smokin' the shaft in Taft.
"Teachers are in a position of authority and like any other workplace, authority is too easily abused and should be prohibited."
I agree also...
No pictures of her on Google, but then again, I have moderate content filtering on.

why that dirty .... Sanchez
Go Taft!!!
Hey, this went on back in my day. It was well known, but the law didn't prosecute because the HS boys were enjoying it far too much to complain. Even the girls with male teachers didn't complain and some eventually broke up the first marriage and became members of the second wives club.
I'm less outraged in this case since the victim is 17 and this is a continuation high school. This teacher still abused her position, however.
The law is already perversely bias in favor of females.
Female teachers, suffering from insomnia, watching too many "Girls Gone Wild" commercials at 3 a.m.
