Another day, another female special education teacher accused of having sex with an underage boy. This time it at the Davidsen Middle School in Tampa Bay, Florida. At right, the mug shot picture of teacher Stephanie Marie Ragusa. Here's more from the St. Petersburg Times:

Stephanie Marie Ragusa didn't have the student in any of her classes, a Hillsborough Sheriff's Office spokeswoman said. But she met the boy on campus while she was working as a special education teacher at Davidsen Middle School last year.
Somewhere along the way, deputies say, the two began having sex.
A school resource officer was alerted to the situation after a student came forward, Hillsborough schools spokesman Stephen Hegarty said.
According to the sheriff's investigation, Ragusa had three sexual encounters with the teen between Oct. 1, 2006, and May 4, 2007 — twice in her car and once in her apartment, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Mom Arrested for Topless Massage While Kids Were in Next Room - Prostitution Arrest of Sheri Sims

Another "Mother of the Year" candidate. This time is was 39-year-old Sheri Sims of Colorado who was arrested by an undercover cop after her topless massage went a little too far south . . . if you know what I mean. A working mom, Sims apparently didn't want her kids to be left alone, so she had them in the room next door! At right, Sheri Sims mug shot picture. Here's more on the story from the Denver Post:

A Highlands Ranch mother arrested for prostitution allegedly fondled an undercover officer in an upstairs bedroom of her residence while her two youngest children were in the room next door, authorities say. The woman, Sheri Sims, 39, was arrested Thursday for investigation of prostitution and child abuse.
While the undercover officer was with Sims, her two youngest children, ages 13 and 16, were in next room, said investigators in court papers filed in Douglas County. Her third child, 19, was downstairs, said authorities.
The documents claim that Sims made "contact that went beyond (an) appropriate massage." After the Highlands Ranch mother disrobed and began touching the genitals of the naked undercover detective, he gave fellow officers an arrest signal, according to the documents.

---

What do you do if you're a middle school principal and you catch two of your students, aged 12, having sex? Well, after you likely recommend they be expelled, we would expect that you'd feel like crying and/or finding a new line of work. Not a lot of details on this one, but it's enough, isn't it? Here's more from WSPA:

Two 12-year old students who were caught having sex in a classroom at McCants Middle School in Anderson are being recommended for expulsion, according to a statement released by Anderson School District Five. News Channel 7 attempted to contact school officials on Monday to determine where teachers were when the two pre-teens engaged in sexual activity. However, neither the school or district provided any information on their whereabouts. News Channel 7 has learned that the two have been charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature.

Orange Coast College Drunk Naked Cheerleader Photo Scandal?

This is typically something we cover over at BadJocks.com, but after seeing these pics, you have to wonder "what were these girls thinking?" Not that college kids are supposed to be goofy and silly and a little naughty and experimental at times, but why post the pictures online then? According to the website DonChavez.com, the girls (and apparently at least one lucky guy) from the Dance and Cheeer Team at Orange Coast College (no I never heard of them before either) were in Las Vegas for a cheerleading competition recently (according to Orange Coast College, the Dance and Cheer Team have won 10 national titles) and started having some fun in their hotel room. Here's more from the site:

Just when you thought the whole West Coast-East coast cheerleader battle was over, the west coast steps back up to the plate. This time we’re not dealing with a bunch of wannabe strippers, clown faced dancers, or a future WWE star. This time we’re dealing with national champions! According to the Orange Coast College website, the OCC’s dancers have won 9 national titles in the last 10 years. Enjoy the nipple piercings, girl-girl kissing, and nudity below the ad.

And he wasn't kidding about the Not Safe For Work pictures! They start out tame enough, and then, well, turn decidedly non G-Rated. We have to stress, the site is CLAIMING this is the Orange Coast College Cheer and Dance Team, and they are wearing t-shirts that say that, but the school's website does not provide individual cheerleader pictures, so it's kind of hard to tell. Below are a couple of the photos we could dare post, for the entire album, you'll have to click here. But be warned, once you start scrolling down the page, the pictures get, uh, serious, quickly.  (More Naughty Cheerleader stories here.)

Mom Arrested for Locking Kids Outside House Naked So She Could Go Drinking

Another "Mother of the Year" finalist: this New Zealand mother apparently wanted to go out drinking and thought her kids would get in the way, so she did what any mother would do: she locked her 10-year-old and 2-year-old outside. Here's more from TVNZ:

There is wide spread disgust at a mother who locked two children out of her Hamilton home so she could have a night out drinking on the town. The woman could end up facing cruelty charges.
The two-year-old girl was found naked and wandering along this busy Hamilton street on Saturday night, in the care of her 10-year-old cousin. Police say they were called by concerned residents on Bader Street who approached the two then had taken the pair inside. Police found the toddler's 31-year-old mother walking between bars in Hamilton's CBD.
Senior Sergeant Karen Henrikson says the woman became aggressive when they interrupted her drinking. The mother had apparently locked the youngsters out of the house so she could head out for a night on the town.

Drunk Woman Urinates on "Specific Products" at CVS Pharmacy - Chicago

If you're trying to use a pregnancy test, lady, you're doing it wrong? But would it surprise you that this happened during the South Side Irish Parade in Chicago? Hopefully, the store didn't just try to wipe the items off and put them back on the shelf. Here's more from Chicago Sun-Times:

A woman in her late-teens or early 20s was arrested after urinating on “specific products” in a CVS Pharmacy near the South Side Irish parade Sunday afternoon, police said.
The woman, reportedly from Tinley Park, was arrested and charged with public urination, according to a Morgan Park District police officer. The woman’s name was not immediately available.
The woman went into the CVS at 1930 W. 103rd St. during the parade and began urinating on “specific products,” according to the officer, who did not know what products she selected.
“If you looked at her, you’d never think [she would do something like that],” the officer said. The store said it would not pursue charges if she cleaned up, but “she didn’t want to do that,” the officer said. “I bet when she sobers up she’ll be like, ‘What did I do?’” the officer said.

Couple Arrested for Scamming Free Meal Claiming Worms in Salad - Tiffany Vance, Christopher Egnatz

It seemed like the perfect crime . . . and they would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for those pesky kids and their dog! Actually, it was a Applebee's waitress that caught Tiffany Vance and Christopher Egnatz last week, in an alleged scam to get a free dinner. According to police, toward the end of the couple's meal, Vance claimed she found worms in her salad, made a scene at the restaurant, and then walked out without paying their $57 tab. They would have walked free, except that Vance left her purse behind and when the waitress opened it up to look for identification, she found--surprise!--a container containing grubs, maggot-type worms that can be purchased at pet food storms to feed lizards and frogs.
The waitress called police, who were taking a report when Vance walked back in looking for her missing purse. Dumbass! She and Egnatz were both charged with conversion, unauthorized assumption of ownership of personal property of others. (Sun Times)

"Team Mom" Janice Marie Niccoli Arrested for Sex With Basketball Player, 16 - Vacaville, CA

It doesn't exactly count as a female teacher sex scandal, but this one did catch our attention. Not a lot of details (yet) but Janice Marie Niccoli (mug shot picture at right) has been arrested for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old player on a youth basketball team, when she was a "team mom." That leads us to believe that she may have had a son on the team, although the story doesn't mention that specifically. Also, the math doesn't work in Niccoli's favor, as the charges against her include two felony counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor of more than a 10-year age difference.

Sex Offender Exposes Himself at Coffee Shop, Leaves Credit Card Slip Behind - Kevin Charles Taylor

"Keep it in your pants" is a good motto to live by, but might be modified in this case to "keep it in your pants, especially at a coffee shop where you just bought something WITH A CREDIT CARD." That appears to be a motto that registered sex offender Kevin Charles Taylor will have to learn in jail after police allege he exposed himself not once, but twice, to a female employee at the Coffee Cruz Thru in Redding, California. Here's more from Fox News:

Sgt. John Ostrowski told the Record Searchlight that officers responded to a 911 call from a Coffee Cruz Thru employee saying a customer had exposed himself to her. The 20-year-old employee reported it was the second time the man had flashed her in two weeks.
The suspect was identified as Kevin Charles Taylor, 41, who has a history of indecent exposure arrests. Police were able to identify him using a credit card receipt he left at Coffee Cruz Thru, the Record Searchlight reports.
Taylor was arrested on suspicion of two misdemeanor charges of failing to register as a sex offender and one felony count of suspicion of indecent exposure, the Record Searchlight reports.

Female Teacher, Christel Gravlin, Admits to Oral Sex With Boy, 15 - Lisbon Central School

Christel Gravlin pleaded guilty to third-degree rape Monday in St. Lawrence County Court. The 33-year-old Lisbon Central School teacher says she had oral sex and intercourse with the boy on Nov. 25 during a brief affair.

The relationship became known when she went to a school basketball game while intoxicated and announced the affair to nearby students and spectators. Gravlin blames her actions on depression, alcohol, prescription drugs and pressure from the victim.

Gravlin will be sentenced May 5. She also faces 10 years of probation.

Mom Finds Man, 27, in 14-Year-Old Daughter's Bedroom While She's at School - Eric Gahagen

When you're a mom and you go to clean your teenaged daughter's room, you expect to find dirty clothes on the floor, candy wrappers, and maybe a pack of cigarettes or some weed. But a mother in Bedford, Texas found a lot more in her little girl's room: 27-year-old Eric Gahagen, of Central City, PA who had allegedly driven 1500 miles to have sex with the 14-year-old. According to police, Gahagen told them the two had met online (damn Internet!) and had exchanged text messages since last year, before the two agreed to meet last weekend. At some point, Gahagen allegedly climbed into the girl’s second-floor bedroom window and hid there for more than 24 hours . . . until good old mom walked in on him sleeping in her bed. Cops also say that Gahagen claims he thought the girl was 20, yet failed to say anything when she had to leave for school. High school. Yeah right. At right, Eric Gahagen's mug shot picture. Oh, we can see why she fell for him, can't you? He's hot!!!! (NBC 5)

Teacher Melissa R. Moss Arrested for E-mailing Topless Photos of Herself to Student - Barat Academy in Dardenne Prairie

UPDATE: We have a picture!

Another female teacher, another cell phone that takes pictures and yet another young boy with a goofy grin on his face. Why? According to police, Melissa R. Moss, 27, a teacher at Barat Academy in Dardenne Prairie (Missouri) took two topless pictures of herself and then e-mailed them to one of her students. (One report claims the boy's parents found the images while spying on his emails.
According to the school board at Barat Academy, Moss no longer works there (hasn't for months) but that does not kept the kids at the school from missing her. According to one report, there's now a Facebook profile called "School Isn't the Same Without Melissa Moss." We bet it's not! At right, the only picture we've been able to find of Melissa R. Moss.

Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist Voted Out of Office Over Pictures of Her in Underwear - Arlington, Oregon

What's wrong with having a hot female mayor if you can't oogle her while looking at pictures of her in her underwear online? Nothing, in our opinion, but apparently the folks in Arlington, Oregon don't care for that sort of thing and voted Mayor Carmen Kontur-Gronquist out of office 142 to 139 in a recall effort.
Kontur-Gronquist came under fire after she posted lingerie pics on a fire truck on her MySpace page, but now says she has no regrets about posting the photos, and somehow harbors no hard feelings about the recall. Others say the recall has nothing to do with the racy pictures, but more with the fact that Kontur-Gronquist laid off two employees from the municipal golf course. No, seriously, this is all about golf and has nothing to do with sexy pics. On the positive side, Gronquist is now selling a poster of herself on eBay with a portion of the proceeds going to the Arlington city ambulance company. (KATU)

Jennifer Stroth, 20, Arrested for Stabbing "Boyfriend", 79 - Faces Domestic Violence Charges

Now that's an appropriate mugshot! Looks like the cops just told her how old the dude she was "intimate friends" with was. Surprise!
The really sad part? Even with the stabbing, this guy is seeing more action than you are.
Here's more on the story from the Denver Post:

A 20-year-old woman and a 72-year-old man were "intimate friends" until their romance turned to violence, said Denver District Attorney's spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough.

Teacher's Aide Abbiejane Swogger Found in Hotel Room With Teens, Beer, Pot, Open Condom Wrapper - Highlands Senior High School

UPDATE: One Time Exotic Dancer Abbiejane Swogger Loses Teacher's Aide Job - And we finally have a picture! Oh, and the cops are saying it was crack cocaine in the hotel room, not just pot, so she's got that going for her.
EARLIER STORY: Sounds like a full night! This one is a little complicated, but we'll see if we can break it down for you: Abbiejane Swogger, 34, is a teacher's aide at Highlands Senior High School in Harrison, PA where her 15-year-old son goes to school. Cops say she allegedly rented a room at the New Kensington Clarion Inn Hotel and when they found her there Friday, she was not alone: Inside the room were two teenaged boys and two girls, some beer, some weed and what appeared to be an open condom wrapper. And all of this happened AFTER rumors began circulating at Higlands that Swogger was having inappropriate relations with some of her son's underage friends, reports that she denies. She claims it's all a big misunderstanding and that she booked the room for herself and some friends . . . and a blind date . . . and the kids just happened to show up. Sure.
Here's more from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette:

Abbiejane Swogger, 34, said rumors already had been circulating through the high school that she was having sex with her son's friends. It is "absolutely not" true, according to Ms. Swogger, but the police finding the boys in Room 107 of New Kensington's Clarion Inn Hotel after spending the night there with her will only fuel those rumors, she acknowledged.

She knows her arrest is going to heap embarrassment on her son at school, Ms. Swogger said.

"I was stupid, very stupid -- I already know I was and I can understand you looking at me wrong," she said. "It's the biggest mistake I ever made in my whole life."

The mother of one of the two 15-year-old girls found in Ms. Swogger's hotel room, however, said she wants for the aide "never to step in a school again." She is eager, she said, to press charges against Ms. Swogger after searching in vain for her daughter all Thursday night, only to have her returned after a night with an open case of beer, several teenage boys and the teacher's aide.

Police said the girls cut class on Thursday and walked to the home of one of the boys in Natrona, where Ms. Swogger picked them up and took them to the hotel room.

Ms. Swogger denies she drove the teenagers to the hotel, saying she rented the room with two female friends in their early 20s and was drinking beer there with them so her sons, ages 12 and 15, wouldn't see her drinking at home. The underage girls and boys, she said, showed up later that evening and refused to leave even after she told them they couldn't stay.

"Maybe the girls are trying to hide something and they are just using me so they don't get into trouble," Ms. Swogger said. "Maybe they were there with somebody they shouldn't have been with."

Her friends, she said, were trying to set her up on a blind date with someone, but the arrangement fell through and "it ended up being all these little kids."

When the police arrived at the Clarion at about noon on Friday, Ms. Swogger was in the lobby, they said. She told officers that no one else was staying with her, but agreed to let them look in her room, where they found the teenagers. Ms. Swogger's son was not among them, although she said she had told him where she was staying and he had stopped by her room the previous evening.

Teacher's Aide Maria R. Commins, 39, Caught in Hotel Room With Boy, 15 - Greenport Elementary School

UPDATE: We Now Have a Picture of Maria R. Commins! (Be careful what you wish for!)
EARLIER POST: Wow! Another educator caught by a private detective after her husband suspected something was up and had her followed. And follow her he did!
According to police, Maria R. Commins, 39, a teacher's aide at Greenport Elementary School in New York allegedly picked up a 15-year-old student after school, bought him some booze and took him to a Holiday Inn Express. (Cops: "Are you an adult young man? Teen: "No, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express with my teacher last night!")
Once there, the private detective called the cops who busted in on the lovers. And, according to police, Commins told them the pair were "in love." Which also explains why they reportedly also had had sexual contact at least once previously in Commins' Ford Taurus. To make matters worse, the teen is also a friend of Commin's own son.
Maria Commins is now charged with third-degree rape, endangering the welfare of a child and unlawfully dealing with a child. Neighbors, naturally, were shocked--SHOCKED I TELL YOU!--to hear of her arrest as she was a mother devoted to her children's schooling . . . and, allegedly, in the uh, "education" of other young people. No word on how much the private eye charged or if and when the husband will settle up with him on the bill. Think he should get a bonus?

Teacher Melissa Monroe, 32, Accused of Giving Booze to Boy, 18, Having Sex With Him - Bentonville High School

Another day, another lonely middle school teacher accused of giving alcohol to an male student and then sexing him up. Don't these women visit DumbassDaily and see all of their teaching sisters getting caught? Apparently not. this time we have Melissa Monroe, 32, a math teacher at Bentonville High School in Arkansas who is accused of having sex with a male student, possibly on his 18th birthday, which might save her some jail time, but probably not her job. The whole thing started to unravel when Monroe sent a text message to another teacher on February 14 that said "Help! I've made the worst decision of my life. And I don't know what to do." At right, Melissa Monroe's mug shot picture. Here's more from The Morning News:

A 32-year-old female Bentonville High School teacher accused of having sex with a student may have believed the sex was legal because the boy turned 18 that day, according to records filed in the case Wednesday.

Melissa Gayle Monroe of 7 Largley Lane in Bella Vista posted a $5,000 bond Wednesday afternoon for release from the Benton County Jail.

Bentonville police arrested Monroe on Tuesday on charges of second-degree sexual assault and furnishing alcohol to a minor. She is to be arraigned March 31 before Benton County Senior Circuit Judge Tom Keith.

The young man went to her house on a January evening while her husband was out of town, according to a probable cause affidavit submitted by Detective Mark Jordan. The boy later told police they had sex and he stayed the night.

Monroe was suspended with pay from the district, school officials said.

According to the affidavit, Monroe sent a text message to a fellow teacher at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 14 that read, "Help! I've made the worst decision of my life. And I don't know what to do." Monroe said that January night she was drinking and texting with a student. She said the student wanted to come over but she told him no. Eventually, he came over and they had sex three times.

The fellow teacher guessed which student.

Later that evening, Monroe texted, "You don't hate me do you?" and "At least he was legal. Haha," the affidavit says.

On Feb. 16, Monroe texted she was going to a birthday party for another student, although the fellow teacher warned her not to go.

Tuesday morning, the fellow teacher went to Principal Steve Jacoby and police were summoned. The student was interviewed and confirmed he had sex with his teacher. The student claimed she invited him over that night and he drank a couple of her beers, the affidavit says.

Monroe initially denied the allegations but then admitted having sex with the student, the affidavit states. Police asked her if the boy forced himself on her, and she said no.

Teacher Natasha L. Sizow Accused of Sending Improper Photos of Herself to Students on Her Cell Phone: "Various Stages of Undress"

This was Natasha L. Sizow's first year at Granby High School in Norfolk, Virginia and likely will be her last after police arrested her this week for allegedly sending improper photos of herself to students via cell phone. The teacher and girls swimming coach was charged with two counts each of indecent liberties and use of a communications device to facilitate crimes against children.
Cops started to investigate after a school resource officer (an in-house cop) heard about the photos and filed a report. The investigation confirmed that someone at Sizow's cell phone number had send photos of her in "various forms of undress" to a couple of students at the school, reportedly one male and one female both 17. Police confiscated Sizow's phone and subsequently found enough evidence on it to arrest. At right, Natasha L. Sizow's mug shot picture.

Sex Offender Tries to Take Girl, 14, to Middle School Dance - Gregory Ray Brooks

It's only February and we may already have one of the finalists for "Dumbass of the Year." How could that be? Try this one: a faculty chaperone at a dance for students at Athens Middle School (Alabama) noticed that the date of one 14-year-old girl looked just a little older than the 17 years he claimed. So they stopped Gregory Ray Brooks at the door and started asking some questions. Brooks took off running to a nearby laundrymat and was later picked up by the local cops who found out that not only was he not 17 (Brooks is actually 25) he also is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER having been convicted in May 2004 of first-degree sodomy on an 8-year-old victim.
Apparently he met the 14-year-old through some friends recently and she did not know he was that old or had that conviction in his background.
Mr. Brooks was charged with public intoxication and failure to comply with the community notification act by loitering on school property. At right is his mug shot picture. (Fox News)

Jeni Lee Dinkel Back in Jail: Wife of Former Bengals Linebacker Fails to Complete Sex Offender Treatment

DUMBASSDAILY UPDATE: Last year we reported on the story of Jeni Lee Dinkel, 52, a Hollywood make-up artist and wife of former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Tom Dinkel, who was sent to jail for having sex with a 15-year-old classmate of her son's at Covington Catholic High School. As part of her probation, Dinkel was supposed to complete some sex offender treatment sessions, allegedly because she was supposed to bring her son along and she didn't want him expoised to the male rapists and other bad people there. Maybe she should have thought about that before she sexed up one of his homies? At right, Jeni Lee Dinkel's mug shot picture from her previous arrest.(WCPO)
