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.

Do you suppose the media will go on a rampage about this sort of thing in an attempt to destroy and bankrupt the public school system?
Not a chance.
Guilty
a neighbor of mine is a middle school teacher. She’s about this age and acts no different than my 15 year old. Seems the system is encouraging teachers to be friends instead of teachers.

“...but I think they are like muscles...the more we use them the stronger they become, and if neglected, they atrophy and fail when most needed.”
I’d say WE fail, THEY don’t fail. An indication that Rosie O’Donnell’s moral compass is still transmitting is har raw, savage, constant anger.
It happened to me when I was 15, not a teacher but a very nice looking ( Not Guilty) woman in her 20’s, and it was indeed a rather rapid and unsatisfying process the first few times. But I’ll tell you, she gave me not just instruction in what women want out of a relationship, but terrific self confidence. I was with her for two years of mind boggling fun and pleasure. It was one of the best things that ever happened to me. If she had been sent to jail for it, that would have been a travesty. Long live the double standard.
Or, you could read the article
Absolutely, definitely, positively, totally Not Guilty.
You can read them. I just scroll to the picture so I can comment.
BUMP!
By the way, I just love it when Rush mocks the young male “metrosexual” voice in his various satires of “commercials”. At the moment he is running hilarious Obama “commercial” satires.
That unctuous metro male voice just makes my skin crawl! How do they learn to talk that way?
Per #28; Not only not guilty but throw that punk kid and the prosecutor in jail for the next 20 years on bread and water.
Definitely not guilty, in fact, she should be taken care of for any inconveniences that may have incurred...
I’d be willing to offer her German lessons as well...
You reckon wrong.
To quote; "...the student, then in the eighth grade, reported to a teacher that he had had sex with Engelbach."
Zu spaet. Ich habe dass schoen angeboten.
Yeah, it looks like it. I wasn't sure but could not find any refernce.

Similar situation for me. It was about the best “education” I ever received, and I wish every young man could get the same opportunity.
