President of Iowa Community College Caught Boozing on Boat With Bikini Babes - Robert Paxton, 52

SHOCKING UPDATE: ICCC Board Asks Partying Prez Robert Paxton to Resign, Gives Him 400,000 Reasons Not to Let the Door Hit Him on the Backside on the Way Out - Can you believe this? The guy lies about a party on his boat, then admits it, then gets nearly half a million dollars NOT to work for a couple of years. Where does the line form for that job? More at the Des Moines Register
EARLIER REPORT: Over at our other site, BadJocks.com, we always wondered why college presidents never seemed to take a stand when we published pictures of underage college kids boozing it up during team initiations & hazings, despite school rules against such behavior. Well, now we know . . . at least at Iowa Central Community College, where President Robert "Animal House" Paxton appears in several pictures to be pouring beer down the throat of a young woman in a bikini. Not bad work, if you can get it, but probably not the way most parents want to think of the man at the head of the higher learning institution their children are attending. (In his defense, the tuition at ICCC is ridiculously low!)
Still, some people are not happy with the pictures and Paxton's lame attempts to dismiss the pictures is not earning him any points with the general public. How bad are they? Pres. Paxton--who initially denied the charges when approached by a reporter--now claims the keg in the photo was not even able to dispensed beer adding, "If you want to know the truth, the thing was broken. I never opened the tap on any keg." Asked what he was doing with the keg suspended over the woman's open mouth, Paxton said: "Nothing. The thing didn't work. I was laughing at them. You know, if I was doing anything, I was grabbing it and trying to put it back down." Here's more from The Des Moines Register:

A photograph showing Iowa Central Community College President Robert Paxton appearing to pour beer down the throat of a young woman has been circulating in the Fort Dodge area. Paxton, 52, and a group of young people are shown on a boat. Paxton and a young woman are holding a small keg of Coors Light above the head of another young woman, who appears to be drinking from the spigot held open by Paxton.
Paxton and an Iowa Central trustee said that Paxton had done nothing wrong and that the actions were in his private life, not his college work. But an academic ethics official said the photo shows a lack of good judgment that is expected from a person in Paxton's position as a college president.
When asked Friday about the photo, which also shows a passenger on the boat pouring vodka into the mouth of another person, Paxton initially told a Des Moines Register reporter, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Asked whether he had recently been aboard a boat with a group of young people, Paxton replied, "No, not recently I haven't."
In a separate conversation later in the day, Paxton acknowledged that he was aware of the photo. Asked why he initially denied knowledge of the picture, he said, "I was told not to speak." He declined to elaborate, however. Paxton said the photo was made on July 4 at West Okoboji Lake. He said his 19-year-old son, John, who was a student at Iowa Central last school year, is the younger man in the photo.
He said his son was not drinking on the boat. However, Iowa court records show that a day after the photo was made, John Paxton was arrested and charged with second-offense drunken driving in Dickinson County, where Okoboji is located. The younger Paxton has pleaded not guilty.

Cops Arrest 12-Year-Old Drunk Driver in Stolen Car

Wow! There's a whole lotta stupid to go around here! Then again, this did happen in Australia where underage drinking is as common as a fight breaking out during a hockey game . . . or is it a hockey game breaking out during a fight? Either way, the teens caught in this Northern Territory adventure decided to let the youngest--a 12-year-old--and likely drunkest of them drive. And not just any car, but a STOLEN car that cops saw as it was turning into, of all places, a church parking lot. Here's more from The Australian:

A 12-YEAR-OLD girl has been arrested for allegedly driving a stolen car while drunk in the Northern Territory. A police patrol noticed the girl behind the wheel of a sedan turning into the Uniting Church on the corner of Tilston Avenue at the satellite city of Palmerston outside of Darwin about 1.30am (CST) today.
Police said six youths fled from the car into the Palmerston High School when officers approached them. After a short foot chase, four females - aged 12, 14, 15 and 20 - were caught on the school oval. Two others managed to escape, police said.
A 12-year-old girl was identified as the driver of the car and she returned a positive reading when police gave her a roadside breath test. All four were taken to the local police station, where the driver allegedly returned an official blood alcohol content of 0.065 per cent.

Man, 24, Arrested for Asking 12-Year-Old Girl for Hickey to Make Ex-Wife Jealous

Want to make your ex-wife jealous? Probably not the best idea to ask a 12-year-old girl to give you a hickey. Likely it won't work, and if the cops find out, you'll end up in jail . . . which is exactly what happened to Jesus Martinez. He and a Mesa, Arizona girl were found kissing by the girl's mother after the pre-teen left her home without permission to meet up with this genius. At right, Jesus Martinez' mug shot picture.
Here's more from AZ Central:

The girl told her mother that Martinez kissed her lips, face and breast area, left a hickey and asked the girl to leave hickeys on him for his ex-wife to see, according to the Sheriff's Office. The girl said she tried to leave several times by telling Martinez she was too young for him, according to the report. Martinez was booked on suspicion of one count of child molestation and four counts of sexual abuse.

Carnie Accused of Making Sexual Comments to Teenaged Girls, Inappropriately Touching One of Them

Hey wait, what about the infamous Carnie Code?
Seriously, does this really come as a shock to any one? Should it even be a news story? The cops were probably stunned. Stunned, I tell ya!
Here's more (what little there is) from the Deseret News:

A worker at a traveling carnival has been arrested on suspicion that he made sexual comments to teenage girls and fondled one of them.
Millard County Sheriff's deputies said the carnival was operating at Fillmore's fairgrounds on Friday. Deputies responded to a complaint that the suspect, 45-year-old Jeffery John Thomas, of Cottonwood, Ariz., had made inappropriate sexual comments toward a group of teenage girls. A 14-year-old girl claimed to have been inappropriately touched, deputies said. Thomas was booked into the Millard County Jail on investigation of forcible sex abuse of a child, a second-degree felony, and class A misdemeanor lewdness involving a child.

Teacher Autumn Leathers Accused of Sex With Boy, 16 - Mountain Ride High School in Frostburg, Maryland

The one thing I really like about this story is the "before" and "after" pictures of the accused teacher, Autumn Leathers (what a great stripper name, too, eh?). At right Leather's mug shot, and below must be from the school yearbook. Quite a difference, don't you think?
Anyway, the important thing is to know that Ms. Leathers, 24 an English teacher at Mountain Ridge High School in Maryland, was arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with one of her 16-year-old students and now faces numerous charges, including child abuse, child sexual abuse, and sex offenses. Here's more from Your4State.com:

Officers say they were contacted by a resident, who noticed the student at Leathers’ home several times in the late evening. When he was interviewed by officers, the student told them he and Leathers had a sexual relationship that started in May of this year and continued throughout the summer. Authorities believe all of the sexual activity occurred at Leathers’ home, not in the school. A search warrant was executed at Leathers’ home on Braddock Street in Frostburg Wednesday evening, where police found other evidence that has become part of the investigation.

Female Teacher at Christian School Arrested for Sex With Boy, 14 - Holly Michelle Barnes

Small town.
Private Christian school.
Female teacher caught having sex with an underage boy?
Why, that can't happen here! At right, the oddly captivating mug shot picture of Holly Michelle Barnes, 24. Here's more on the story from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

A former teacher at a Powder Springs Christian school has been charged with having sex with a 14-year-old boy, Paulding County authorities said Wednesday. Holly Michelle Barnes, 24, was charged Tuesday night with two counts of statutory rape and two counts of child molestation, said Cpl. Brandon Gurley, a spokesman for the county sheriff’s office. He declined to say whether the alleged incidents occurred at the church or school and whether the boy was a student or a member of the congregation.

Drunk Man Tasered by Cops for . . . Stabbing a Tree?

And you wonder why cops go a little nuts sometimes when they arrest a bad guy? How about it if you were called to take care of a neighborhood disturbance, only to find a crazy man--who had already thrown a large rock at a garage door--standing there with a booze bottle in one hand and a 10 inch knife in the other . . . and he was using it to stab a tree? Seems to me that tasering is an appropriate response to that kind of stupidity. Here's more from Redding.com:

Redding police officers used a stun gun today to subdue a 46-year-old Sacramento man after he allegedly brandished a large knife at passing motorists, threw a large rock at a nearby home’s garage door and ended up stabbing a tree. Steven Hill was arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest and possession of a concealed deadly weapon and booked into Shasta County jail, a police spokesman said.
Officers said when they arrived in the area of Keswick Dam Road and Lake Boulevard they found Hill stabbing a tree with a knife in one hand and holding a bottle of liquor in the other. Hill refused to drop the knife and officers used the stun gun to apprehend him, the police spokesman said.

Teacher Allanah Benton-Wells, 42, Accused of Sex With 6th Grader - Williams Elementary School - Flint, Michigan

Ever wonder what's wrong with our public schools? Here's a good example: Allanah Benton-Wells, 42, was suspended from her job--with pay--teaching 6th grade at Williams Elementary School in Flint, Michigan back in November of 2007, while the district and cops investigated allegations that she had sex with a student. That's nine months of paid vacation, AFTER the boy's mother made a complaint to police. That came after the mom intercepted a phone call between the two that made her think Benton-Wells (pictured right in court) was having sex with the 12-year-old. Cops think on at least two occasions around Halloween that Benton-Wells picked up the boy to take him to her home for tutoring and instead had sex with him.
In January, Benton-Wells husband divorced her because he suspected something was going on when he came home at 2:30 in the morning and found the boy on the couch, with his wife, with his shirt off. Another time, the her ex-husband claims he came home to find the pair on the couch with his wife wearing a nightgown and no bra. Not if that means she was sleeping with the boy, but it does seem kinda strange when she was supposed to be turoring him. But still, it took ALL this time for charges to be filed and the school district to finally fire Benton-Wells.
Here's more on the story from NBC 25:

In November of last year investigators started looking into allegations, 42-year-old Allanah Benton-Wells had sex with the 12-year-old in October.
"Both times she was to pick the child up and take him back to her house for tutoring, help with homework,” said Genesee County Prosecutor, David Leyton. “We believe that's not what occurred. We believe in both instances resulted in sexual intercourse."
Investigators say the boy's mother found out about the sexual relationship, when she listened in on a call between her son and Benton-Wells. “The mother then went to the school, the principal, of the school then informed Flint Police."
Benton-Wells is a Flint native a mother of 19 month old twin boys, and two grown sons. Now she faces two charges of criminal sexual assault, each crime carries a sentence of 25 years to life behind bars. “She is entering a plea of not guilty," said Michael Haley, Benton-Wells’ attorney. “He was a student and she was helping him."

Chicago Couple Tasered at Wedding Reception in Michigan - Andy Somora and Anna Pastuszwska

We have to admit, this isn't the first wedding reception that we've heard about where cops had to be called and at least one member of the wedding party had to be tasered . . . usually the groom or best man. But zapping both the groom AND the bride, getting pictures of it, AND finding out that they got tasered AGAIN two days later? That has to be some kind of record for stupidity, even if they were drunk, which--according to police--is very likely at the center of this incident. At right, a picture of bride Anna Pastuszwska shortly after police tasered her husband.
Here's more on the story from the Chicago Sun Times:

Andy Somora and Anna Pastuszwska's July 19 wedding reception in tiny Lakeside, Mich., is still the talk of the town after officers from 14 police departments swarmed the art gallery to quell a melee. The groom's father, uncle, aunt and cousin -- several of whom hail from Villa Park and La Grange Park -- also got arrested.

The short version of the story is they didn't want to quit their partying," said Mike Sepic, Berrien County, Mich., chief assistant prosecutor. "If you put this in the class of wedding receptions gone bad, I guess this would take the cake."

And the story didn't end after the reception. Two nights later, the bride and groom were again arrested in Michigan -- and again shocked by a stun gun -- after struggling with police investigating a noise complaint, Sepic said. The groom was charged with pushing his new wife down during that incident, but the charge was later dropped as part of a plea bargain, Sepic said. Wedding photographer Kacper Skowron, a friend of the bride, said the party was "civilized" and "top-notch," with guests from around the country.

Gallery co-owner Tom Burnison, however, said that, fueled by alcohol, it got out of control and potentially dangerous, including when a guest heaved a metal lamp into a plate glass window. "Calling the police was a last resort," Burnison said. When the only local police officer on duty that night arrived, Burnison and his wife asked him to help break up the party because it had gotten "out of hand," with booze, water and broken glass on the floor, Chikaming Township police said. One guest was seen drinking straight out of a vodka bottle, Sepic said.

The officer called for backup and told everyone the party was over. Many guests left, but some refused and began cursing at officers, police said. "Andy got angry and started yelling, 'What are you doing? This is my wedding! You're making my wife cry!' " Skowron said.

"The crowd was trying to hold back the groom from mouthing off more, but finally he broke free, and they had to take him down," Sepic said of police. "He was heading for the officers. . . . Then the bride moved in and tried to interfere." As the newlyweds struggled on the ground, a police officer used a Taser on Somora, 29, police said. Pastuszwska, 28, was holding her new husband tight, and was shocked as well, Skowron and authorities said.

Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst's Top Secret Fat Loss Secret Revealed!

I don't know who you typically get your medical advice from, but I doubt he or she looks as good as Suzanne Gudakunst. Is having a great face and hot body the best way to judge someone's diet plan? What, you'd rather take advice from that fat old guy you've been going to for years? If he knew the Top Secret Fat Loss Secret, he'd be using it himself, or on that chubby wife and kids of his. No, he doesn't have a clue why most people are fat and basically everything he and the main stream media has been telling you for years is just plain wrong and actually works AGAINST your ability to lose weight.

But don't take my word for it. Here's more about Dr Suzanne Gudakunst's breakthrough diet:

A lady doctor named Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst (hot doctor at right) has just released what many are calling the end of the need for potentially harmful weight-loss drugs and designer foods made to help you lose weight. Dr Suzanne's discovery allows anyone regardless of their particular diet to do "just one simple thing" and instantly start shedding anywhere from 15 lbs to as much as 200 lbs of unwanted and dangerous fat!

Typical results average 45 lbs in just the first 30 days alone for most people just starting out using her new secret.

The reason this is so is because her secret (aptly titled: "Top Secret Fat Loss Secret") operates on an entirely different approach in the battle against the ever-increasing "bulge." Dr Suzanne discovered that harmful crusty "plaque" builds up over the years in all of us - and which is the direct result of harmful chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, etc. deliberately placed in perhaps every food on the market (much of which is now suspected as being carefully and intentionally done so that people will continue to get fatter and thus sicker, and in order to make the food & drug companies richer!)

"Role Model" Teacher Laurie Anne Lewis Arrested for Prostution - Cleveland High School

UPDATE: We Have Teacher Laurie Anne Lewis's Mug Shot Along With Addition Details of Her Arrest: Cop Says "I Don't Know That She Was a Career Prostitute!" - Here's more from Click2Houston:

A Cleveland High School teacher was charged with prostitution after meeting a man in an online chat room and soliciting him in a downtown Houston hotel, police told KPRC Local 2 Monday. Police said Laurie Ann Lewis, 38, was arrested Tuesday at the Four Seasons, 1300 Lamar, in an undercover sting.
Investigators said Lewis agreed to meet her client at the hotel as an escort. She was arrested after asking for $300 to perform a sexual act, police said. We opened up a discussion with her in the chat room. She agreed at some point in that discussion for sex for money," said Capt. Bruce Williams of the Houston Police Department. "When she entered the room, the deal was done."
Police would not elaborate on the prostitution sting or on Lewis' alleged role as a prostitute. "I don't know to what extent she did this job. As far as I'm concerned, she's a teacher that got arrested for prostitution. I don't know that she was a career prostitute," Williams said.

EARLIER POST: Well, at least she wasn't caught having sex with a student . . . at least, not for free, anyways. At right, the only picture we could find of Laurie Anne Lewis. Here's more on the story from KHOU:

Cleveland High School theatre teacher and Student Council sponsor Laurie Anne Lewis was arrested on Tuesday on charges of prostitution in downtown Houston. According to the Houston Police Department, 38-year-old Lewis was arrested in an ongoing undercover operation. Since Lewis' arrest was part of a continuing investigation, the offense report regarding her arrest has not been made public. But Kerry Cowart, the superintendent of Cleveland ISD said he spoke to Lewis on Friday afternoon and confirmed the allegations. Cowart said that when he asked if she was arrested for prostitution, Lewis admitted it was true.

Lewis was immediately placed on paid administrative leave pending resolution of the charges. One teen on the student council describe Lewis as an excellent teacher and that this news surprised everyone. "She was role model to me and I really didn't expect her to do that because she was always on to us and I just thought that she would be different," said Kala Patton, a Junior at Cleveland High School.

High School Teacher, Accused of Sex With Boy 16, Allowed to Keep Working at School Because Mom Was Superintendent - Carrie O'Connor, Dale Clark

Apparently in Georgia it's okay to continue to work as a guidance counselor at Montgomery High School even if you are being investigated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a student. Well, at least if your mom's the superintend ant. At least, that appears to be the case for Carrie O'Conner who may still be on the payroll at MHS despite being under investigation since March and under a cloud of rumors about an alleged affair since January. What did the school do when they got a hold of these allegations? They transferred the boy, 16, to another school, of course! Here's more from WTOC:

An investigation by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation ended with 34-year-old Carrie O'Connor being arrested and indicted on sexual assault charges involving a 16-year-old student. The arrest happened Monday night, but the investigation started back in March.
Rumors of an affair between the teenage boy and the guidance counselor have been swirling for most of the year and the GBI was called into investigate. Now, some are questioning how the school district has handled the case.
Rumors about the alleged sexual misconduct started to swirl back in January. In March, calls came to WTOC, so we contacted the GBI who said they were investigating and would have something in a week. Four months passed and an arrest happened yesterday. "All we were after was the truth," Posey said.
Posey and many other concerned parents are raising questions since O'Connor is still working at the school. Some think she should have been put on paid leave until the issue is resolved. Instead, according to a letter from principal Smith to the parents of the 16-year-old boy, the student was dismissed from the high school and assigned to a different school to prevent any and all contact between the boy and O'Connor as requested by the GBI.
The parents refused and their lawyers sent a letter back to the principal demanding he be re-instated, which he was the next day. But there's more. The guidance counselor's mother is also the Montgomery County School District superintendent Dale Clark. "Bear in mind the mother-daughter relationship," Posey said. "She cannot come to a just decision on that."

Teacher Caught in "Operation Jail Bait" Used Web Cam to Expose Genitals - Joel Cupps

Teachers just seem to be draw to these online sting operations like a moth to a flame, don't they? You'd think after a while some of them would at least SUSPECT that the 13-year-old girl at the other end of the chat was really a 50-year-old, fat, male cop . . . but no. Here's more on the latest one from Tampa Bay's 10:

Pasco County teacher is behind bars charged with two counts of soliciting sex acts from a minor. The statewide sting called "Operation Jail Bait" used undercover detectives posing as teenagers. According to police, 29-year-old Joel Cupps, who taught third, fourth and fifth grades at Trinity Oaks Elementary School, was caught using a web cam to expose his private parts to a person he believed was a minor.
"We're very shocked and saddened. It was quite a difficult surprise to swallow," said Allison Hoskins, Principal at Trinity Oaks Elementary School. The teacher has since resigned. He taught at the school for two years. He was also a teacher at Chasco Elementary from 2005 - 2006, and Dr. Mary Giella Elementary in 2005.
"He made a full admission to the acts and admitting to communicating to what he believed were children over the internet," said Lt. Mike Baute from the Attorney General's Office.
Citrus and Pasco County detectives worked on the sting after they realized they were investigating the same person. "They just surrounded the house, came from the back and front, pulled up in a garbage truck and everything. There were just officers everywhere," said neighbor Isaac Rios, who witnessed police raiding Cupp's New Port Ritchey home on Thursday morning.

Teacher Maggie Laughlin, 23, Arrested for Alleged Sexual Relationship With 9th Grade Boy

UPDATE: Maggie Laughlin pleaded guilty on August 13 to having illegal sexual conduct with a student this year and faces up to 18 months in prison when she is sentenced later this month. (Cleveland.com)
EARLIER STORY: The school year can't end soon enough for some principals, can it? According to police the last two weeks of school at Shore Junior High School in Mentor, Ohio were pretty special for one 15-year-old boy in first year teacher Maggie Laughlin's math class. Authorities claim sex acts between the two took place each morning--8 to 10 times during the last two weeks of class--in her room before school started just before school got out in early June. Who blew the whistle? Sounds like the mother of the victim's ex-girlfriend. Hell hath no fury like a 9th grade girl scorned. Oh, and Laughlin might have gotten away with it because she wasn't coming back next year to Shore: she was moving to Michigan this summer with her fiancé to take a new job and plan a July wedding. Oops. That's likely going to be postponed 5-6 years.
At right, Maggie Laughlin's mug shot picture. Here's more from WKYC - link includes video clip!

Maggie Laughlin, 23, entered no plea at her arraignment in Mentor Municipal Court and was taken to the Lake County Jail. She faces one count of sexual battery and one count of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

Bond was set at $200,000 or $100,000 for each count. Laughlin will have to post 10 percent. If convicted, she could face up to six and a half years in prison.

School officials say Laughlin resigned her position with the district on June 6 after spending less than a year in the school system. Mentor Police Chief Dan Llewellyn said that, when arrested at her Willowick home Wednesday night, Laughlin admitted to some of the details of the charges against her.

Laughlin had accepted a new teaching position in Michigan where she planned to move with her fiancé after a planned July wedding.

Female Teacher, 39, Accused of Sex With Boy, 17 - Kelly Bartz, Rocky Mount High School

School's out for summer, but that doesn't keep the cops from investigating all the alleged teacher/student hook-ups during the past academic year. In fact, the police are probably glad to have the extra time to work on the backlog of complaints. This time we have a rather attractive 39-year-old, Kelly Bartz, an English teacher at Rocky Mount High School. She's been arrested on charges of sexual activity with a student by a teacher. (Could you have "sexual activity with a student by another student?) Most interesting part of the story appears to be that the "victim" in question here reportedly told his mother back on December of 2007 that he was dating a teacher but she brushed it off as a joke. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, that makes sense to everyone, doesn't it? At right, Kelly Bartz' mug shot picture.
Here's more on the story from The Rocky Mountain Telegram:

The mother of the Rocky Mount High student said she believes the relationship between Bartz and her son began early in the school year when her son was still 17. The mother said her son mentioned around December that he was seeing a teacher, but she brushed it off as a joke. Then she began to notice changes in her son's grades and sports, she said.
"I feel that because of (Bartz's) actions it has caused him to fall back, and he didn't pass his grades," the mother said, adding she didn't know if her son would enroll at Rocky Mount High during the upcoming school year. "This has caused a tremendous amount of stress on the whole entire family, and I feel like his downfall is because of this whole situation."
The mother said she approached Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services Tommy Finch about the situation in May or June. The central office told her they would take action after Bartz was charged, the mother said.

Florida Grandmother Arrested For Letting 3-Year-Old Ride on Roof of Lexus - Brenda Bouschet, Lake Worth

The competition for "Grandmother of the Year" is heating up and Florida seems to be producing a bumper crop of finalists in 2008. The latest is Brenda Bouschet, 54, of Lake Worth, Florida (that's her "What the f*ck do you want?" mug shot picture at right) who was just minding her own business, driving around the parking lot of a local Publix supermarket Tuesday with her 3-year-old granddaughter, when the police decided to pull her over. Why, was the kid not buckled or something? Actually, was she not only NOT buckled, she wasn't even INSIDE THE CAR. That's right, grandma had her on the roof, although she claims to have been driving at a snails pace and--wait for it--holding onto the kid's leg. What's the big deal officer? Don't you have REAL crimes to investigate? From the police report, it even sounds like she was SOBER when this happened, which otherwise could have been a good excuse for such creative stupidity. About the only explanation Bouschet could give the cops is she wanted the kid to have some fun and get some fresh air . . . a trip to the emergency room was just a bonus, I guess.
Here's more from CBS 4:

Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix supermarket Tuesday and arrested 54-year-old Brenda Bouschet, of Lake Worth, after she was spotted driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.
Bouschet told deputies she didn't understand why she was wrong to place the 3-year-old girl on the roof of the car and drive her white 2006 Lexus around the parking lot. Bouschet said she was just giving the child some air and letting her have fun.
Deputies had to explain to her the dangers of letting the child ride on top of the car and even had to explain that the child is required to sit in a car seat.
Bouschet said Thursday she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.

Teacher Melissa Lavender Accused of Fondling Two Male Students on a Boat - South Lake High School

A "culinary arts" teacher accused of fondling a couple of high school boys on their parents boat during a party? You have to think that alcohol may have been involved, right? That's what cops think happened with Melissa Lavender, 33, who was arraigned this week on two charges of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct. Maybe her defense can be that she was looking for bait? At right, a picture of Melissa Lavender during her court appearance.
Here's more from the Detroit Free Press:

St. Clair Shores Police Detective Harold Bergeron said a teen who witnessed the June 26 sex acts came forward last week. Police interviewed the partygoers -- three females and five males, several of whom were teenagers -- who said they drank alcohol with the teacher and saw her inappropriately touch two current students, ages 16 and 17. The boat was docked in a St. Clair Shores marina, Bergeron said.
Michigan's age of consent is 16, but a state statute makes it illegal for a teacher to engage in sex acts with a student, no matter the student's age. The charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to two years in prison. Dennis waived the formal arraignment in 40th District Court in St. Clair Shores. He said Lavender has strong backing in the community and that some members of the school board attended the morning arraignment.

Female Teacher Accused of Sex With Middle School Boy, Also Bought Him Shoes! - Tara Allison Hodge

Now they've gone too far! We have gotten used to female middle school teachers having sex with underage boys, sometimes even smoking and drinking with them. But buying them shoes? How dare you! This latest case involves a special ed teacher, Tara Allison Hodge, from the Waco Independent School District in Texas who was arrested this week for allegedly having sex and smoking marijuana with a 14-year-old student. And she allegedly brought this all on herself by calling cops to make a false police report about . . . a sexual assault? At right, the mug shot picture of Tara Allison Hodge.
Here's more from KWTX:

Warrants had been issued for 26 year old Tara Allison Hodges of Katy for Sexual Assault of a Child and Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student.
The investigation into the alleged relationship started after the 26 year old teacher filed a false report of a sexual assault. Waco police say detectives then found that Hodges had been involved in a sexual relationship with a 14 year-old student while she was employed as a teacher for Waco I.S.D.
According to the arrest affidavit, the relationship started on June 6, 2008. The affidavit says Hodges picked the victim up in her car that evening, drove him to her apartment, and then the two smoked marijuana. After that Hodges allegedly performed oral sex on the student before having sex with him.
The two had sex at least ten separate times, and during several of these times they smoked marijuana, the affidavit says. Police say Hodges gave the student money, and on two occasions bought him shoes.

Morton Ranch High School Cheerleaders Accused of Hazing JV Squad With Dirty Pants, Duct Taping Them And Throwing Them in Pool!

BREAKING NEWS: Morton Ranch Cheerleaders Indicted by Grand Jury for Hazing! - Check out the details here.

UPDATE: DISTURBING NEW DETAILS EMERGE! Senior Cheerleader Allegedly Crapped in Her Pants, Put it On Victims Head and Breasts Were Flicked! - Well, now we apparently know the answer to the fill-in-the-blank question we posed when this story first broke: it's DEFICATED in her pants! And to make matters worse, the younger girls on the Morton Rank High School Junior Varsity Cheerleading Squad allegedly also had their breasts "flicked." Not sure of the purpose of that, but my guess is is must hurt, or at least be annoying. These latest reports come from the parents of one of the victims exclusively to the local paper, Fort Bend Now, and are in sharp contrast to some of the comments we have received below which seem to indicate that nothing really happened (a common response from friends of attackers in high school hazing cases) or that the whole thing was being blown out of proportion. Here's more from Fort Bend Now's report:

In an exclusive interview with FortBendNow this weekend, family members of one of the junior varsity cheerleaders disclosed that the younger girls were subjected to humiliation that included having underwear covered in feces pulled over their heads and having their breasts “flicked.”
The mother of the junior varsity cheerleader said parents were all informed in advance that the older girls would pick up their JV counterparts and take them to breakfast.“It’s apparently something of a tradition, an initiation where the older girls come and get the JV girls around four in the morning and take them to breakfast. That’s what (all the parents) were told and what we approved of,” the mother said. “We knew nothing about duct tape and tossing them into swimming pools.”
The mother went on to say her daughter told her that at least one of the senior cheerleaders defecated in her underwear and placed the soiled garment on another girl’s head before tossing her into the pool. She also said some of the varsity cheerleaders “flicked” the younger girls’ breasts with their fingers.
“The (feces) in the underwear is just plain disgusting and, as far as I’m concerned, nobody has the right to touch a girl’s breasts, even in fun,” the girl’s father added. “This thing sounds like it was completely out of hand. We’re just lucky nobody got hurt.”

EARLIER REPORT: HS Cheerleader Hazing Match Game: "When a Girl BLANKS in Her Pants and Puts Her Pants on Another Girl's Head, That's Just Disgusting" - So far, readers who are playing along with the home version of our game have suggested: "poops", "pees", and "makes Margaritas" but for some reason officials at Morton Rank High School in Katy, Texas aren't laughing. That soon to be famous quote comes from the older sister of a JV cheerleader at the school. She claims that the seniors on the squad may have gone a bit too far in this year's initiation of the new girls.
How far off course? Well, traditionally, the upperclassman "kidnap" the junior varsity squad very early in the morning and take them to breakfast. This year? In addition to the mysterious party held in one girl's pants, the seniors (14 varsity cheerleaders, a student manager and--I'm not making this up!--the school mascot) allegedly duct taped the younger girls hands, blindfolded them and, uh, tossed them into a swimming pool. (How is that even close to taking them out for a nice breakfast at Denny's?.)
The mother of one of the alleged victims also confirmed that report to the local TV station. For their part, the Katy ISD claims that it's ". . . investigating an alleged off-campus incident possibly involving inappropriate behavior by certain students." Right now the Morton Ranch squad is at Texas A&M at cheer camp, so if you live in that area of the state, you may want to watch out for someone putting their soiled pants on your head . . . even if they are filled with Margaritas.(ABC 13 - link includes video clip!)

BONUS! Does Morton High School Sound Familiar to Dumbass Daily Readers? Less than two weeks ago, a female teacher from the same school was accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy. Read our report of that incident here.

Teacher and Girlfriend--a Former Student--Plead Guilty to Sex With Current Student

Wow! Two teacher three-ways in a single day! What are the odds of that? I'm no math teacher (although it might help in the bedroom) but there would seem to be astronomical odds against such a thing happening. Then again, who would have guessed that teachers would be getting arrested on a daily basis for having sex with underage students? Either way, the folks down in Australia are having a field day over this latest report which has lots of, uh, interesting details. Here's more from Live News:

A Perth teacher has pleaded guilty to having sex with two of his students, including having a threesome with a student and his girlfriend, who was also a former student of his.
Brett Rodney Daley, 34, who was a teacher at Manjimup Senior High School, south of Perth, has pleaded guilty to charges of having sex with a child aged between 13 and 16 and having sex with a girl aged 16 years or over who was in his care.
Standing close to Daley in Perth's District Court today was his girlfriend at the time of the alleged offences, Natasha Charmaine Krispyn.
Krispyn, now 21, who was a former student of Daley's, has pleaded guilty to having oral sex with the younger of the two students with whom Daley had relationships.
The court heard that on March 17, 2006, Daley was alone with a 16-year-old student in a room inside the school's gymnasium when he suggested they have intercourse.
State prosecutor Gary Huggins said he locked the doors, placed her on the ground, pushed her underwear down and proceeded to have sex with her. He did not use a condom and did not ejaculate. The two then had sex in and around Manjimup at various locations including a shooting range, a picnic spot and at his house.
One of the sex acts happened after the high school ball, when Daley sent a text message to the complainant to tell her how good she looked.
The second complainant against Daley was the younger girl, a member of a sports team and a friend of Krispyn. The court heard that Daley and Krispyn had entered a room where the girl was lying down and got into bed with her. They began having sex with each other and Daley had sex with the girl while Krispyn was still in the bed, the court heard. Mr Huggins said it was on a later occasion that Krispyn had oral sex with the girl, which led to the single charge against her.

Hot Teacher and Husband Accused of Recruiting Teen for Threesome - Amy Northcutt, Justin Northcutt

Apparently being young, good looking, and fully employed is not enough anymore. It now appears that the only way to have any fun in life is to get a high school girl to join in the fun. At least that's what Amy Northcutt, 26, and Justin Northcutt, 27, two former Turlock Christian School teachers are accused of doing. Amy, pictured right, and her hubby have been arrested after reportedly sending text messages and photos to arrange group sex with a 16-year-old girl. Here's more from Modesto Bee:

Two former Turlock Christian School teachers accused of sending sexually explicit cell phone messages to a 16-year-old female student will face criminal charges, the Stanislaus County district attorney's office said Tuesday.
The suspects -- Amy Northcutt, 26, and Justin Northcutt, 27 -- are married. They were arrested in early June, shortly after the school year ended. They are accused of sending messages and photos to arrange group sex with the girl, said Sheriff's Department spokesman Royjindar Singh.
The district attorney's office could not specify what charges they will face, and the court did not yet have information Tuesday on the charges.
The Northcutts were arrested June 2 on suspicion of distribution or exhibition of lewd material to a minor and annoying or molesting a child under 18, Singh said. They could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Amy Northcutt was the girl's high school teacher, Singh said. She taught history and had submitted her resignation a month before school ended in late May, according to Mayer. Justin Northcutt was a substitute teacher at Turlock Christian's junior high and high schools, he said.
The girl's mother contacted authorities after Justin Northcutt was spotted talking to the alleged victim while she attended a family gathering in Denair, Singh said. The arrests came days later.
