Lauren Michelle Cosgrove Update: Teacher/Babysitter Arrested Again for Trying to Contact Victim, 13


When last we left Lauren Michelle Cosgrove, a former English teacher in Denton, Texas at Strickland Middle School, she had been arrested after admitting to an affair with a male student, 13, who she was babysitting for during the summer. As part of her pre-trial arrangement, Cosgrove was not supposed to have any contact with the alleged victim for obvious reasons. Oops. Here's more from the Dallas Morning News:
A former Denton middle school teacher was back in jail Wednesday accused of trying to contact the 13-year-old boy she admitted having a sexual relationship with last summer. Cosgrove, who is married with two small children, admitted to the relationship, according to the documents, and was told she would be allowed a couple of days to get her affairs in order before surrendering to police.
Detective Shane Kizer said Cosgrove was admonished not to contact the boy. But two days later, one of the boy's friends called him and began trying to talk to him about the case. The victim handed the telephone to his mother, Kizer said, and she learned from the friend that Cosgrove had asked him to set up a three-way call so she could talk to the boy without her number appearing on caller ID.
"She wanted to tell him what to say to make things better for her in court," Kizer said.
Because the victim and his family were suffering from intense publicity in the case, they agreed it would be better not to file more charges just then, he said.
"But there are circumstances that point to her trying to contact him on the Internet," Kizer said. "And about two weeks ago, she called his cellphone."
Kizer said the call upset the boy, who no longer wants to be contacted by Cosgrove. At that time, Kizer decided to file the charge of tampering with a witness.

THESE CHARGES ARE ONLY FILED BECAUSE IT IS THE DAY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY MEETS. THE DA HAD THIS INFO IN JULY BUT ONLY DECIDED TO FILE IT THE DAY BEFORE THE GRAND JURY??? SOUNDS LIKE DIRTY POLICE WORK TO ME. THIS STORY IS ALL FROM THE BEST FRIEND OF THE ACCUSER!!! SHE WAS THE ONE ASSAULTED. THESE ARE SAD TIMES WHEN YOU CAN LOSS YOUR CAREER AND BE BLASTED ON THE NEWS FOR WHAT A 13 YEAR OLD BOY THE HAS KNOWN ISSUES AND IS A CUTTER SAYS ABOUT YOU. THIS SAD SAD WORLD. EVERYONE HAS FORGOTTEN TO CONSTITUTION WHERE AS EVERYONE IS INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY!!!! HAVE WE ALL FORGOTTEN THAT???

No one here is move involved in the situation than ME. The media and courts try to convince you before the court does. When she is found NOT GUILTY I come back on her and get all of you to understand the TRUTH. Two thoughts, one in the statements you see, they are written by the police officer. Who wants to arrest someone. And two, this new arrest comes from information the police admit to having in July! Did they decide to file charges because it just so happens to be the day BEFORE the Grand Jury hears her case. Funny how that works?!

First off, whoever you are freedom, you are a dumbass! The evidence is clearly written and was clearly stated in her confession. Secondly, the article says that the information was there in July, but the parents chose not to file charges at the time due to all the family was going through. It was due to her continued attempts to contact him that the family decided to move forward with the new charges. You are a true idiot! There's a lot to be known about both sides and from what I gather, you are simply a one sided person.
