An elementary school teacher has been jailed for 40 years for having sex with a 14-year-old student. Shannon Alicia Schmieder, 39, was told she will have to serve 20 years - by far the toughest sentence ever handed out by a U.S. court to an educator accused of underage sex.

It took some scrutiny to discover this was speaking of Georgia. Coweta County (Newnan, GA) is southwest of Atlanta, about halfway between Atlanta and the state border.
Is this a Ratly area? First thing that struck me when I Googled up the website is that they have “burning restrictions.” I could understand in a valley, but on the plains of Georgia?
Anyhow, obviously the article does not spell out just what the woman did, which would make it unsuitable for family reading but also might clarify how badly this really ended up hurting the lad. Did she forcibly grope the boy or did she merely expose herself and tempt a confused, horny adolescent to come on to her. He could much more easily deal with the latter, and could get his head on straight by the time he reaches full adulthood. Might even brag about it a time or two with buddies, though I don’t personally cheer that kind of thing on.
She’ll be out in 6 months.
This read like she will have to be in prison for twenty years, then will go on twenty years more probation. By that time she’ll be an elderly person indeed, and probably a pathetic welfare case instead of a teacher or anything else gainful.
That guy is the teacher?
Not nearly enough.
40? It says sentenced to 20, she’ll get out in 10
WHy is a 15 year old girl watching porn?
Talk about paent FAIL
They haven’t even started the appeal process yet.
Which makes it possible that the punishment will be cut as “excessive.” Still, out in half a year? It takes longer than that to bubble something up to the state supremes let alone the USSC.
Judging by the ongoing high-profile "lacrosse" trial, plead guilty to manslaughter and serve 18 months.
The trouble with emotional Draconian sentences is that there can't be proportional punishment.
The first woman listed at the bottom of the article, was only sentenced to 4 months. In other cases the women serve no jail time, just probation. Sometimes they serve a couple years.
We’ll see I guess.
They should have gotten life for murder. It’s find this predator ho got 40.
Oh definitely the London Daily Mail gets away with more editorializing in its headlines. And it has higher moral standards than the NYT — but then again any newspaper does, including toilet paper
There has been a pleasant uptick in hot teachers having sex with their students. Where were these women when I was at Walter Reed Middle School? How come kids now get Debra LaFave and I got Mrs. Wolk, who literally had a hygiene problem? I love the idiots who complain about the double standard and say we should punish these female teachers the same as we would male teachers. If the male gym coach has sex with the fifteen-year-old girl, she will be mentally and emotionally scarred for life. The only damage to a fifteen-year-old boy who nails the music teacher after class is carpal tunnel from getting high-fived by his buddies. Just like my grandfather used to say, “If you can beat off to it afterward, it’s not a crime.” This is another misguided attempt to treat the genders as if there are no differences. Little Billy who bangs the female teacher is gonna be all right. Little Suzie will end up working the pole at Olympic Gardens and won’t be going by the name Suzie.

Re your photo query, “Guilty?”
My answer: “Blurry.”
That right there is downright creepy.
Sounds a bit like Jerry Sandusky, who was doing his best to act like a father-figure to his victims.
Not as lucky as she would have been if she just murdered him.
In many States murder is a death penalty.
“probably a pathetic welfare case instead of a teacher or anything else gainful.”
Good! She doesn’t belong anywhere near children.
