HILLSBORO — A former substitute teacher in the Dunklin School District in Jefferson County will be sentenced next month after pleading guilty of having sex with a 14-year-old student. Teresa Engelbach, 22, of Pevely, pleaded guilty last week to one felony count of second-degree statutory rape and one misdemeanor count of sexual misconduct. She could get up to 7 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000 on the rape charge, and up to 6 months in prison and a fine of up to $500 on the sexual misconduct charge. Jefferson County Circuit Judge M. Edward Williams set sentencing for April 15. The charges against Engelbach were filed last March after the student, then in the eighth grade, reported to a teacher that he had had sex with Engelbach, a substitute teacher at Senn-Thomas Middle School in Herculaneum. The teacher told school administrators, who called police. The incidents took place last year between Feb. 1 and March 13 in several areas of Jefferson County and did not involve other students, police said. Engelbach had a substitute teaching certificate from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, which requires a fingerprint background check through the Missouri Highway Patrol and FBI. Those checks came back clear, Dunklin Superintendent Stan Stratton has said. Stratton said Wednesday that Engelbach had not taught in the district since she was charged. Her attorney, Daris Almond Jr., was unavailable Wednesday for comment. Stratton said Engelbach also formerly taught at the district's high school and elementary school. She began working for the district, which has 1,350 students, in September 2006. Jim Morris, a spokesman for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, said Engelbach did not renew her substitute teaching certificate for the 2007-2008 school year.

Pure hotness there.
I’m assuming you find prominent Adam’s apples in women appealing?
The chorus of "not guilty's" is (for the most part) poking fun at the justice system that seems to sentence these offenders inversely proportional to their attractiveness. It's not intended (by most) to offer their opinion as to how the case should be adjudicated.
I guess he just couldn't help bragging to someone, but a teacher? Sheesh!
Seven of Nine?
Six of one?
Two of 38.
True!!!!
Not guilty, and the kids is a ‘tard for blabbing. Just enjoy the ride son.

Also, not guilty.
Hey,there is Equal Rights and then there is Womans Rights!
I sub also occasionally and anyone who tries to hit on these students is absolutely crazy,not to mention the ethical lapse inherent in such an action.
I went to college for six years to get my Teaching Credential and,although my main career was in another field,I would be a damn fool to blow all those years of hard work over some ditzy teenager.

ROTFLOL!
". . . after the student, then in the eighth grade, reported to a teacher that he had had sex with Engelbach . . ."
Don't think so.
“I don’t get it.”I believe it’s(partially)a result of leftist/liberal indoctrination:”If it feels good do it”.Established morals,principals,and institutions are deemed “archaic” and “opressive”.Indoctrination begins early in life.The media,public schools,academia,entertainment,etc,etc are on the same page and agressively promote politically correct dogma.I’d also surmise most of the perps aren’t exactly the brightest bunch to begin with.Simply “usefull idiots”.
I know you guys are doing this tongue-in-cheek--at least I hope so--but since the student told another teacher, I think he must have been bothered by the incidents.
“A pedophile is a pedophile is a pedophile.”
And a person who is attracted to youths past puberty is not a pedophile.
A pedophile is attracted to children who have not yet reached puberty.
Deep decolletage (sp?)and long blond hair in a sexy arrangement in Court will get her points with the judge and me.
Not only is she not guilty, she gets a Get Out of Jail Free card for her next offense.
I believe there are a number of factors that lead to this type of situation.
1. The males in her peer group (i.e. the younger male teachers in her school) are probably for the most part, feminized products of higher academia. As others here have alluded to to, she needs to look at high school males for any modicum of raw masculinity. All the real men her age are in Iraq or Afghanistan.
2. Feminists have long preached the "rape=power" principle. In a *liberated* society, women can now have power relationships over males, and as secularism pushes an amoral belief system, what good is power if not used?
3. Finally, there is always the temptation of "forbidden fruit." Perhaps this woman was otherwise an OK teacher and person, but found herself in a position where she simply couldn't resist the opportunity or the temptation. Even the most moral and devout people can succumb to temptation at different times, but certainly those without any moral compass will fall a lot sooner and more often.
I agree. I don't think that other one can be her. Not enough chin.
