Teacher spared prison for sex with teen after she writes apology letter to his mom

A 10th grade english teacher at a Houston high school has managed to avoid going to prison despite admitting to having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student.
Nikki Scherwitz, 25, pleaded guilty to having an inappropriate relationship with a student and was sentenced to 10 years probation.

She was also fined $5,000, KHOU reported.
Scherwitz resigned from her job at Brazosport High School last year when she was questioned about the relationship.


According to KHOU.com, authorities were tipped off after Scherwitz turned up to an after-prom party on April 20 at a student's house.

One of the students who was at the party told the TV station: 'She was wearing no shoes when she showed up…like a cut up, cut off shirt and everything.'
She is also believed to have been drinking.

Another student told her it wasn't right for her to be there and asked her to leave. She and the 16-year-old student then allegedly left together.

Some students were shocked when they learned she got probation.
'The men get 25 to life, but a woman gets a slap on the wrist with only a $5,000 fine,' said Mario Salinas, a student at Brazosport High School.

'If it was a guy, a male teacher with a female student, it wouldn’t be the same,' agreed Oscar Guttierrez, another student.

In that letter she said: "I apologize for the behavior I engaged in with a student. I crossed an ethical boundary I never should have crossed. I’m sorry."
'I think she should get more than just probation because that’s a kid,' said Robert Anderson whose grandchild attends the school.

'I think she should get more than just probation because that’s a kid and you shouldn’t have relationships with a young minor.'
Scherwitz has been ordered to stay away from minors and she won’t be allowed to ever teach again.

I don't understand why in the heck the teenage boys are complaining. Seems like they just made it easier to get a hot teacher chick.

Jealousy perhaps?

While I agree, as a father of two boys, this bothers me very little (especially if they're that hot), but I have to agree that if it were a male teacher and female student, the results would have very different.

This. It's very difficult having a son and a daughter around the same age because, at least in terms of sex, you send completely different messages.

She should have sent this letter instead:

"Dear Dad:

Sorry I treated your teenage son as my personal **** puppet. He must have got that shovel in his pants from you, right?

I think you should know, I performed every imaginable nasty sex act for him that your wife either never did for you, or stopped doing after the honeymoon.

So, My bad. Won't happen again.

Thanks for talking to your wife about dropping the charges.

Toodles!"

She should be awarded a ****ing medal. This world sucks.

Or...

Dear Dad,

Did you teach him all that or do y'all have Google fiber? Wow, either way, great job! Anyway, at dinner ask him about the cream pie thing. When the wife says, "only women in porn do that", you can both tell her she's wrong. It's funny how junior and I laugh in class when anybody talks about dessert now. Anyway, thanks for having a son, he's awesome and I'll make him great at certain things before he's married.

Maybe a required 20 year teacher/student age difference would help?

You wouldn't get any teachers in there.

Yeah, I edited that to 20 and even then it's problematic.
