MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A former Shelby County Schools teacher is accused of showing students pictures of herself in a bikini, smoking in marijuana in class and having sex with a student.

Mary Eddington, once a special education teacher at Cordova High School, has been indicted for sexual battery and statutory rape by an authority figure. Her attorney says she’s not guilty.

The 47-year-old Eddington is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old student and groping another. She was officially terminated by Shelby County Schools in May after a months-long investigation.

Records show it seems to have started after a conversation between a student and the school’s assistant principal in December.

Several of the statements talk about Eddington openly talking about marijuana and smoking. One statement said, “Ms. Eddington is making sexual comments. She showed a student a picture of her getting high and said maybe we can go do something like that someday.”

I don't know if she would look good in bathing suits...

I am guessing that she worked in some special education classroom in some ghetto high school...

I think there are some FR members who are familiar with state of TN...

She does have that vile public school teacher look.

Just think of how light the sentence would be if she had preferred girls.

Monday, Eddington’s attorney, William Massey, said, “she is absolutely not guilty.” .....What? She hired a blind Lawyer?

[DIRTYSECRET]

No he want’s some.

“...saying that it’s every boy’s dream...”

Maybe there’s hope for America’s male yutes, after all.

Almost no one looks good in a mug shot.

GUILTY!

[dainbramaged]

She’s one of those “fun” teachers, it appears.

[Liz]

Heh.......good point.

[jerod]

Not GUILTY!

That has to be her mom, in pic, behind her.

I foreshadowing of what this gal will (maybe already) look like.

They’re clones! :-)

The school is taking the word of special ed students who admitted they wanted to have sex with her. There is no evidence that it ever happened.

umm, Memphis isn’t really considered part of the state LOL

[bigbob]

Looks rough but sounds like fun...

[colorado tanker]

She was giving “special” education.

[Hulka]

She took a poly. The poly indicated she was not engaged in any deception, she answered truthfully that nothing happened.

Downloaded the pdf file with poly results, other student statements (some accuse her, some say nothing happened and she is innocent).

Hard to figure this one.

I’ve taken countless poly’s in my life, Top Secret clearance and poly was required for several of my programs.

Thing is, the poly is unreliable; every poly operator says the test IS NOT 100% accurate, but EVERY poly operator claims he IS 100% accurate.

So, was it reliable in this case? Don’t know.

[Hulka]

Tend to agree. Post 18. This case is not easy.

That woman is not guilty, but she’s not the teacher in the article. That’s Debra Lafave, a teacher who got into a similar situation 15 years ago.
