Female Teacher Accused of Having Sex More Than 300 Times With Underage Boy - Christine A. McCallum

Not that we're keeping track of these things, but if we were, it is likely we would say the "average" female teacher sex scandal reports on 2 or 3 incidents before the accused is caught. If the affair goes on for several months, we might see close to a dozen "encounters." But “approximately 300 times" over a year and a half? That's a lotta sex! But that is what Christine A. McCallum, a 29-year-old fifth grade teacher at Woodsdale Elementary School in Abington, Massachusets, is accused of and we can't want to see what comes out in the trial! The number comes from the alleged victim who estimated the pair had sex "every other day" starting when he was 13.
Their first time? Again, according to the victim, it happend on the couch in her living room while her husband slept upstairs!

A married South Shore teacher was living a disturbed double life for nearly two years, police said, allegedly seducing a 13-year-old boy, plying him with booze and having sex with him on kitchen floors and couches, sometimes right under the nose of her husband.

Christine A. McCallum, 29, who is on leave from her job at an Abington elementary school, was charged yesterday with seven counts of statutory rape for the serial liaisons in Rockland and Abington from February 2006, when she allegedly took the boy’s virginity, to November 2007.

McCallum, a waifish bespeckled blonde who tightly clutched her husband’s hand in court yesterday, declined comment.

But her alleged teenage conquest told police they had sex more than 300 times - almost “every other day” while he was 13, 14 and 15 years old. The boy told police they had sex for the first time Feb. 7, 2006, on a couch at McCallum’s Rockland home while her husband slept upstairs, according to a police report.

Teacher Sex Scandal Update: Judge Allows Use Of Recording - Stephanie Ragusa

You remember Stephanie Ragusa, don't you? She's the Florida teacher who was out on bail for having sex with an underage boy when she was--alleged--caught AGAIN at the kid's house having sex with him again. Cops took her mug shot each time, and every time she was smiling, as if this was all some big joke. (On us, maybe?) Here's the story of her fourth arrest and the, uh, exclusive mug shot Dumbass Daily got its hands on.
Well, she was back in court this week, still smiling, and still getting deeper in trouble. Seems her lawyer wanted the judge to throw out a key piece of evidence, a tape recording between Ragusa and her alleged victim where she pretty much admits she knew having sex with the boy was illegal and she'd go to jail if she got caught. here's more from Tampa Bay Online:
A judge on Thursday decided to allow prosecutors to use a taped conversation between a former teacher and a teenager she is accused of molesting.

Stephanie Ragusa, 29, is being held on charges she molested two boys. Investigators recorded a 17-minute phone conversation between her and one of the boys, who told deputies he was 14 when he had sex with his teacher.

In the conversation, Ragusa says she doesn't want to end up wearing an orange jumpsuit and that she knows the relationship is illegal. She also tries to define the legal term "statute of limitations."

Ragusa's attorney, Robert A. Herce, asked Judge J. Rogers Padgett to prevent prosecutors from using the recording as evidence at trial. Herce argued that the recording was not legal because law enforcement officers were not present.

Attorneys said investigators were present when the teen placed a call to Ragusa and left a message for her to call him back. The investigators waited for about an hour and then left after giving the equipment to the boy and his father with instructions on how to use it and what to say. They retrieved the recording the next morning.
Herce argued that Florida law, which once required such recordings to be made "under color of law," now requires that they be done "under the direction of law enforcement," which Herce argued means officers must be present. He said this was different from "at the direction" of law enforcement, which was the previous requirement.

Assistant Hillsborough County State Attorney Rita Peters said courts repeatedly have ruled that investigators are not required to be present for such recordings.

After listening to the detailed arguments, the judge dismissed Herce's motion.

Police say Allanah Earley went to a bar with her baby and became "extremely intoxicated." She then began to wander around Middletown in the cold with daughter, police said.

Headline of the Year: NY Teacher Accused of Ordering Student Penis Video

Say what? What is going on in our schools these days? We have had plenty of stories of teachers having sex with students, but convincing a kid to take pictures and video of his wiener? No names associated with this story yet, but since it's happening in New York City, it will only be a matter of time before this thing is all over the news. Here's more from NewsDay:

A teacher at a private music school in New York City is charged with persuading an 11-year-old boy to take nude pictures and video of his penis and later touching the student's private part. Queens prosecutors say the 24-year-old teacher has been arraigned on charges of sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child and possessing and promoting child pornography.

The guitar and piano teacher faces a maximum seven years in prison if convicted. He's being held on a $25,000 bail. Prosecutors say the teacher offered the boy money in December to take pictures and video of his penis with the teacher's cell phone in the school's restroom.

Mother and Daughter Brawl With Cop at School

Nothing makes you closer to your parents than getting arrested for punching a cop in the face . . . at least, in West Virginia. It all started at Riverside High School with fight in the girls bathroom. And no, the 15-year-old girl who was later arrested was not involved in that fight. She was part of another commotion and "became belligerent and began cussing at one of the teachers." That teacher wisely followed the rules and escorted the young lady to the Principal's office where they called her mother. MISTAKE! Mom--Tina Willams--shows up and instead of disciplining her own kid, she goes into the school looking for the teacher! A cop comes along and escorts mother and daughter outside hoping they'll cool off. The didn't.
The brawling broads tried to get back into the school, so the cop tries to handcuff mom. At that point he was allegedly attacked by both mother and daughter. He was finally able to arrested the pair and haul them off to jail. Merry Christmas!

Middle School Girls Arrested for Brawl on School Bus, Refusing to Talk to Cops

From the "You're Just Making It Worse" Department: 9 middle school girls face expulsion and possibly legal charges after a brawl on a bus. Here's more from the Sun Sentinel:
Nine Congress Middle School students could face suspension or worse after police say they tried to stymie efforts to investigate a fight on a school bus. The trouble began as a middle school fight on the way home from school Tuesday, but turned to chaos as students shouted down others who wanted to cooperate with police, according to a Boynton Beach police report.

Boynton Beach police arrested nine girls, ages 12 to 15, on charges of resisting arrest without violence. The trouble started sometime before 4:30 p.m. on bus No. 0119-C044, according to the police report. Bus driver Winston Gray stopped in the 500 block of West Boynton Beach Boulevard to quell a fight on board. Gray tried to get the unruly kids to sit down, but they refused, according to the report.

When police came, it didn't get much better. An officer tried to investigate the circumstances of the fight, but the unruly students stood up and yelled at others for trying to cooperate, police said. Officers pulled the nine students off the bus to interview them and they refused to give their names, ages or any information.

Teachers Caught Having Sex in Classroom--Twice!--During Staff Awards Ceremony

Okay, I'm the first to admit that I am not a big fan of employee award ceremonies. They always seem to drag on and on, and the people who really deserve recognition never really get it. There, I said it.
But to sneak out in the middle of the event and have sex with someone else's wife? Now THAT'S someone who really hates employee awards ceremonies! And to be caught not once, but twice, in the act: that takes dedication. Here's more from the Guardian News in the UK:
A Sutton college is investigating claims two teachers were caught having sex in a classroom by a student. The Carshalton College teachers were caught in the act after they “sloped off’’ during a staff awards ceremony last Thursday by the student, it is alleged. It is claimed the pair, believed to be married to other people, were then caught a second time in a different room by a teacher.

Principal David Watkins said he ordered two senior members of staff to carry out an investigation after hearing the allegations. But speaking to the Sutton Guardian, a concerned member of staff said the incident was “totally unacceptable’’ and feared it would be “swept under the carpet’’.

The staff member claimed: “It is absolutely inappropriate. These teachers were caught having sexual intercourse by a student and then in another classroom by a staff member. They should know better. “It just infuriates me when we have open evenings or parent teacher nights and we are meant to create a good impression and gain trust, but really these sorts of things are going on."

PTA Official, 44, Caught Bottomless in Car in Elementary School Parking Lot With Boy, 13

UPDATE: A new report by NewsDay identifies the PTA Official as Joan Tuckruskye, 44. According to police, Tuckruskye was caught in the backseat of a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder in a parking lot behind Meadow Elementary on Northern Boulevard with a 13-year-old boy Friday night.
EARLIER REPORT: What is wrong with people these days? You're high ranking official in the local PTA, an organization created to help kids learn and grow, and you get caught in a middle school parking lot kissing a kid who's not old enough to drive? And both of you somehow lost your pants in the process? Holy crap!
Wonder if the kid was older than the car they were in? Anyone seen the police report?
Here's more from NewsDay:
Police say they caught a Long Island PTA official and a 13-year-old boy without their pants in the back seat of a sport utility vehicle behind a school. The 44-year-old parent-teacher association vice president has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She's been released without bail. Nassau County police say the Baldwin resident and the boy were naked from the waist down in a parking lot outside Meadow Elementary School on Friday night. They say the woman told them she and the boy were kissing. Investigators say the boy lied and told them he was 18. The arrested woman is a mother of three who's in charge of fundraising at the Baldwin Middle School PTA.

Cops Taser Drunk Man Who Showed Up at Police Station at 9 am, Wants to Become Informant

This story meets the classic definition of "alcohol may have been involved." And here's a piece of advice: If you want to become a police informant, probably best not to do it while you're drunk, demanding, and in the middle of a police station where officers are likely to have easy access to things like a Taser. Here's more from the Evansville Courier:

A 33-year-old Henderson County man was jailed Wednesday morning after allegedly coming to the sheriff's office drunk. Steven A. Blevins was charged with alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Henderson Sheriff's Lt. Keith Berry said Blevins came to the sheriff's office around 9 a.m. Wednesday wanting to be an informant of sorts.

"His words were, 'I came in to tell on everybody. I'm tired of what's going on in this town,'" Berry said. Blevins was obviously intoxicated, Berry said, so he was placed under arrest. At that point, officials said, Blevins "became resistive, dropped to the floor and refused to move." Sheriff's personnel then utilized a taser to get Blevins to comply with commands -- which he did, a press release said.

Middle School Students Suspended for Classroom Sex - Glades Middle School

Details are sketching on this one, but aren't they always for these kinds of incidents? Not at Glades Middle School in Florida, where three 7th grade students have been suspended for some classroom activity that went beyond the typical "sex ed" curriculum. It also sounds like some teachers got in trouble (You mean, they should have prevented the teens in the classroom from having sex on school grounds. Is this what the world is coming to?)
Here's more from CBS4:

A police report says three girls at the middle school were victims of some kind of sexual battery, but school officials are telling a different story. Sexual relations allegedly happened inside two classrooms at Glades Middle School. Three students are accused of inappropriate sexual activity in the class—as shock to many kids who go to school there.

Two 7th grade boys and a girl from Glades are on suspension. Police are not giving specifics as to what happened. They do say the three who have been suspended are "suspects" and three 12-year old girls are "victims." They say one girl came forward saying this sexual activity happened between September and December. Police say she's a victim of sexual performances while in class.

More than that, police call it sexual battery. School officials, however, don't know exactly what they're dealing with yet. They're trying to figure out if the "so-called victims" were coerced or pressured but say no one was raped.
