A Granby High School teacher accused of sending improper photos of herself to students via cell phone has been arrested.

Natasha L. Sizow, 24, of Alton Drive in Virginia Beach, was charged with two counts each of indecent liberties and use of a communications device to facilitate crimes against children, according to police and court records. She turned herself in Tuesday night, said Officer Chris Amos, police spokesman.

Schools spokesman Vincent Rhodes said Sizow was a first-year social studies teacher and the girls’ swimming coach at Granby. She was accused of sending photos of herself  “in various stages of undress,” said Sgt. Jim Robertson, a police spokesman. The students involved were a male and a female, both age 17, according to Amanda Howie of the commonwealth’s attorney’s office.

The case came to light two weeks ago, when police sought a warrant to search Sizow’s cell phone for electronic data. A detective’s affidavit said that a school resource officer learned about the allegations and reported them.

Sizow initially was put on paid leave. As a result of the charges, that was being changed to leave without pay, Rhodes said Wednesday.

Sizow was released on $5,000 bond, said Maj. Michael O’Toole of the sheriff’s department. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for April 2, Howie said.

What's up with these teachers? There are plenty of guys her age in Norfolk that could show her a good time.

[neodad]

Not guilty.

[VirginiaConstitutionalist]

Guilty.

[roll that beautiful Alex Van Halen drum intro...]

[dynachrome]

“students involved were a male and a female”

Ambidextrous, she was.

[TexasRepublic]

GUILTY!

[scan59]

Why would she not think the students wouldn’t pass the photos around?

[FreedomPoster]

We’re going to need the pics she sent to make a complete determination of guilt or innocence.

[org.whodat]

Ambidextrous, she was.

A true switch hitter!

[DesScorp]

This thread is useless without the photos :)

[squidly]

There must be 60,000 single sailors in that town, and she does this.

[randog]

She looks like she could shine up nicely...not guilty.

[Clintonfatigued]

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!

At the rate this is happening, it’s going to be expected rather than surprising before long.

[gridlock]

Ambidextrous, she was.

In light of this new evidence, I am inclined to vote Not Guilty

Granby High School used to be a wonderful school. It is my old alma mater...my sister taught there during the 70’s; times were changing and not for the best from the late 60’s on....

[I see my hands]

"Why would she not think.."

Got to figure alcohol, the legal drug.

[informavoracious]

This is partly the result of a generation of girls having grown up with Friends and Sex In The City as their moral compass.

Reminds me... of an old joke's pinch line:

Noforkie Virginia! Noforkie... Virginia! Noforkie Virginia!

Sex AND The City

[Chode]

guilty...

[AndyJackson]

Bad boy

[ElkGroveDan]

I really need to see the pictures in question if I am going to weigh in with a verdict.

[TommyDale]

Guilty!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Ugly, mean mouth. Looks a decade older than her age.

GUILTUH !

[NormsRevenge]

[ElkGroveDan]

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

[Nonstatist]

Not guilty.

[levotb]

Who says she’s into guys? Most women’s gym teachers are dykes. This is a commonly known fact, but rarely commented on for fear of angering the Hillery-feminist crowd...

[Mr. Lucky]

It was once explained to me that the correct pronunciation of the city "Norfolk" could be remembered by this old high school cheer:

"We're the girls from Norfolk High,

We don't drink and we don't smoke.

Norfolk, Norfolk, Norfolk."

[fish hawk]

Is that John or Walter Huston? I always get those brothers mixed up. (the one that was in China Town) LOL

[MinuteGal]

Why do all these pedophilic teachers look like they're teenagers themselves? Most of them can't be but a couple of years out of some liberal college.

What happened to the middle-aged, greying, mature, stout (wearing sensible shoes) spinster and widder-type ladies who taught us forty-plus years ago?

They knew their business, were kind but brooked no nonsense or familiarity.....and they certainly were not "best girlfriends" with any of the students.

We used to kinda laugh at them because of their manner and sometimes primness....but by golly, they gave us a helluva education.

Is there some rule now that any qualified teacher over 25 can't be hired?

Who interviews the potential teachers, Hugh Hefner?

Ambidextrous, she was.

A true child of the modern education of educators.

Who are we to decide one is superior to the other?

[utherdoul]

I have to disagree. Some of the younger teachers I’ve had have been the best ones. My business professor, high school history teacher, and economics teacher all prove that point, and quite a few others I could name. As I recall none of them were into students.

The older teachers tended to be less competent except in several cases.

[MarkMyWord]

Weren’t very creative with their cheers, were they?

[reagan_fanatic]

Guilty.

[frithguild]

Guilty not she is

[MarkMyWord]

From that time period this cheer would have been more accurate:

“We’re the girls from Norfolk High,

We don’t drink and we can’t vote.

Norfolk, Norfolk, Norfolk.”

[Oldexpat]

These teachers are young and have grown up in a permissive..no consequences..world. They think they can carry on the same behavior that they did in Hiis Skool..
There were a couple of my teachers in HS that were kind of interesting to a 16 year old guy..but it stayed with flirting.

[Centurion2000]

Damn, sailors must have raised their standards a lot to force this poor idiotic woman to not be able to find a guy her own age.

[PzLdr]

Put me on her mailing list, please!

[VaFarmer]

Obviously, I have no idea about the underlying facts of this case (heh-heh.. get it... heh-heh), but you can’t be going all medieval on her case cause she sent out a couple of photos.

From the description, she has crossed a line. She resigns. The school moves on. Where ARE the photos, anyway?

[Zuben Elgenubi]

In light of this new evidence, I am inclined to vote Not Guilty

Heh heh heh

She’s a predator

[nicmarlo]

What's up with these teachers?

Exactly my thoughts. What is wrong with these people???

[SengirV]

She looks A LOT older than 24

[babble-on]

“How da hell I know she’s 13. Hell, she looked at least 15.”

No matter how many articles like this there are in the media, parents still delude themselves that this is not happening in their child’s school.
