Female Teacher Convicted of Having Sex With 2 Boys at Campground After School Dance - Leslie Baird

Well, we suppose if you're going to get arrested, you might as well go down in a blaze of glory . . . like Leslie Baird, 42, a computer lab coordinator (not actually a teacher, but pretty close) at Tooele High School was sentenced to 1 to 15 years in prison for the second-degree felony of having sex with two teenage students after an evening that started out with her chaperoning a school dance. She also happens to be the second female teacher from the school district in the past year to be convicted of such a crime . . . and both time light sentences were handed out. Would male teachers have been so lucky? Here's more on the story from the Salt Lake Tribune:

Baird and the boys - who all had been drinking - happened to meet at a Tooele convenience store, then drove to a campground near Rush Lake. Baird had sexual intercourse there with both boys, but not at the same time, Searle said. The sexual liaison occurred following a school dance where Baird had acted as a chaperone, he said. Baird was charged with two counts of first-degree felony forcible sodomy and one count of second-degree felony forcible sexual abuse.
