Teacher Accused of Sex With Boy, Taking Him to Faculty Parties - Judith Wallace

Whatever happened to the idea of teachers and students leading separate lives away from school? Apparently, at D.W. Higgins Charter School in Phoenix, not only was it okay for female teachers to have sex with underage boys, they could also treat them like regular boyfriends and take them around to the homes of other staff members . . . just as if nothing odd was going on. At right, Judith Wallace's mug shot. Here's more from KPHO News:

In late January 2006, Maricopa County sheriff's detectives said they learned that a sex crime had occurred between Judith Wallace and a 15-year-old male victim.
The Sheriff's Office Special Victims Unit said they learned during the investigation that the victim had allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with Wallace and that she had given him alcohol.
The victim also reported that Wallace would frequently take him to parties and social gatherings as a "couple," detectives said.
A witness told detectives that it was common to see the two together outside of school and at other staff member's homes, according to deputies.
The victim, now 16, stated he and Wallace engaged in sexual acts on separate occasions between February 2006 and April 2006.
