By TOM KERTSCHER tkertscher@journalsentinel.com Posted: Jan. 4, 2005 Racine - A 22-year-old woman who coached a private volleyball club and briefly coached at a Racine County high school has been charged with having sex with one of her 16-year-old players.
Jennifer L. Bradley of the 6000 block of Leeward Lane in Caledonia was charged with one felony - sexual assault of a student by an instructional staff member, which carries a prison term of up to six years - and five misdemeanors. She made her initial appearance Tuesday in Racine County Circuit Court.
According to a criminal complaint:
Bradley and the boy had a sexual relationship between June 12 and Sept. 4 while she coached a private club that he played for called Next Level Volleyball.
On Aug. 16, Bradley was hired as an assistant girls volleyball coach at Case High School, where the boy attends school and plays volleyball.
Bradley was suspended Sept. 23, after the allegations surfaced, and she has since resigned from her school position, Linda Flashinski, spokeswoman for the Racine Unified School District, said in an interview. She was not a teacher at the school, Flashinski said.
The complaint says the boy's mother told a Racine County sheriff's investigator that Bradley let him use her cell phone, let him drive her car though he was not licensed and let him use her credit card so that he could play poker and make bets on a Web site.
The mother said her son's grades dropped from A's and B's to D's and F's and that he has run away from home at least three times since being confronted about the relationship, the complaint says.
The mother had suspected that her son was having an affair with Bradley after she found a computer message. She thenbegan taping telephone conversations between Bradley and her son, the complaint says.
The boy told a sheriff's investigator that he had had sex with Bradley about five or 10 times.
No it is not. It is 18 here. Never mind that this apparently happened in Wisconsin (where the age of consent is *also* 18)...
LOL
I dont know, but there werent around a few years ago when I was going through school either....
Qatar?????????
I wonder what the psychology of this is, I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that feminists have turned a generation of men into "girlie men", thus young women are finding it hard to find "real men".
I remember that age. Many here probably don't remember just how powerful are the forces of nature. The hormones were flying all over the place. I think many people mistakenly think this is a new phenom. This has been going on forever. In this case, 22-16 isn't a big age difference. I am not excusing it. Heck, if I was a 16yr old and some cute 22 yr was coming on to me, I know I would have have given in. Believe me, I don't think the boy was "forced." Today's technology provides clues to catch many more than in the past.
yep....still here....
my flight isnt til the 11th....
If the frsit and lsat wrdos are in the crcroet psioiotn, the wdros can slitl be raed. Snleplig is so orev-retad!
I HAVE to see pictures to know whether it was sexual ASSAULT or not.
That is what the bimbo from Fla said to the kid she seduced.
AWW "Pinkie Promise"!
Even when I was in High school I never lusted after teenage boys, I can't imagine thinking any 16 year old would be anything worth having. I just can't understand this, it must be a dominatrix thing, power trip or control issue.
wrdos = ltretrs LOL!

"When I was 13, I would have screwed any female on two feet and a skirt."
I wasn't that fussy about feet.
Lighten the F*CK up dude!

I mean, some of you are acting as if there is something wrong with what this fine lady did. You right wing extremists need to get with the wonderful hippie 1960s sexuality.
Afterall, it depends on how you define 'sex', uh, I mean 'rape', uh, I mean, perversion, uh, I mean its all okay isn't it.
Put some ice on that lip.
yeah....
this is on the coach, not the kid...
the kid deserves a way to go actually...as for the coach...shes just a loser....
