Yeah, that's what I was thinking. 16 she should know better. 13 is just sick.

Lauren Harrington-Cooper, Former Pa. Teacher, Sentenced For Sex Abuse Of 4 Students
 

This happened a short time ago but I found the sentencing interesting as they are trying to not let women get no jail time while putting men teachers away for years!

A former teacher at a Pennsylvania high school was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty to having sex with students.

Lauren Harrington-Cooper taught English at Wyoming Valley West High School in Plymouth, Pennsylvania.

She was initially charged with institutional sex assault of two students, ages 18 and 17, but ultimately pleaded guilty to charges of felony sexual contact. She also pleaded guilty to two felony counts of corruption of a minor for "sexually explicit conversations" and inappropriate sexual contact with two other boys, 17 and 16.

She was sentenced to nine to 23 months in prison, according to Citizen's Voice. In addition to prison time, she was ordered to register as a sex offender and is prohibited from working with with children. She resigned from her position at the school in January, and her teacher's license was suspended in August.

Harrington-Cooper was investigated late last year after parents of the 18-year-old found inappropriate text messages on their son's phone. When questioned by police, the victim said he'd begun a relationship with the 31-year-old teacher after she texted the teen's sister and said that the teenaged boy was "hot." He said he'd had intercourse with her twice, and that the teacher had performed oral sex on him three times.

The teacher was arrested in December 2013, but faced additional charges in January, when a 17-year-old victim came forward. That boy told police that Harrington-Cooper had performed oral sex on him in a car, and that they had began texting each other in November of that year.

But those were not the last allegations against the teacher to surface. The corruption of minor charges stemmed from incidents in which prosecutors said Harrington-Cooper engaged in inappropriate activity in a classroom, showing one victim her breasts, and engaging in inappropriate contact with the other.

According to Citizen's Voice:

While school officials maintained they had no evidence of inappropriate contact taking place at school, police allege... one instance in which she allegedly told a student, “All the candy you need is right here.”
Prosecutors said the woman abused her position of power as a teacher.

Harrington-Cooper said little in court Friday, the paper reports, instead submitting a statement in which she said she regretted her actions and the damage she had done to her victims.

“She has been diagnosed with some significant psychological issues of inadequacy,” the woman's lawyer, Joe D’Andrea said. “You would think that she’s a pretty, young girl, that she would feel good about herself. But her self-esteem issues have really troubled her all of her life, and she found comfort and solace in some people giving her attention, as wrong as it was.”

He also said that the case has strained his client's marriage and family life.

He was probably tall

what am i doing wrong

LMAO it's you!

:banghead:

English, MF, do you speak it?

Why should she go to jail for banging an 18 year old?

I believe the judicial system claims it's because she's in a position of power over the 18 year old student. I disagree with it, but I don't see them changing anything anytime soon.

I believe if a teacher is found having sex with an 18 year old, she should be fired, but not jailed.

When I was 18 I was horny each and everyday a walking hard on you might say.

Yeah, I have a real problem with this too. Some states make it a SEPARATE crime for a teacher to have sex with their student, regardless of age, basically. I seem to remember Texas had this -- where a teacher got her groove on with two or three 17-18 year olds (which is LEGAL ADULT AGE IN THAT STATE) but was facing serious jail time because they were her students.

IIRC, Massachusetts (just by comparison) has NO such crime, so here all that would happen is that the teacher would be fired (duh).

In my book, it's ridiculous that a teacher would face serious jail time for having sex with a student. Maybe you make it criminal, but the penalties should be light. It's NOTHING like having sex with a minor.

Ridiculous.

I understand the mental gymnastics that led to the law. It's just insane that we try to legislate which consenting adults are allowed to have sex with one another.

I see no reason to make it criminal at all.

Oh, right, Britni Colleps. This was the crazy situation -- husband in the military instantly forgave her (suggesting open marriage), teacher did a gang bang with like 5 students, and there was video of her getting her freak on.

Five years in jail.

THEY WERE ALL AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. WTF?!?

Just a stupid, stupid law. If you want to make it criminal, just so it follows you around so you can't be a teacher anymore, and there is a fine or something, yeah ok. But seriously, taxpayers spend serious money to try these teachers and then incarcerate them?! Who is the f'n genius that came up with that?!

That is pretty crazy based on what you know about the case what would you sentence her Amnorix if you were the judge?

If I were the judge I would give her one year in jail and 4 years probation and sex counseling sessions.

WOW-You are correct. That was a horrific sentence! :banghead:

Not sure if it was a lack of caffeine or just a moment of stupidity. :hmmm:
