Teacher Joy Blackstock Charged With Having Inappropriate Relationship With Male Student, 18

I think we have a new "Leader in the Clubhouse" for the hottest female teacher involved in a sex scandal in 2008. (Check here for the complete list if you want to compare) Not a lot of details yet, but it does appear that the ball got rolling when the principal at Early High School (where Blackstock briefly worked as a music teacher), started looking into rumors that surfaced at the school of an inappropriate relationship between Blackstock and the student. That lead to the cops, which lead to a criminal investigation and ultimately a confession. At right, Joy Blackstock's mug shot picture. Is she hotter than Debra LaFave? How about Pamela Rogers? Leave your comments below.
Here's more from the Abilene Reporter News:

A former teacher at Early High School turned herself in to police last week and was charged with having an inappropriate relationship with an 18-year-old male student. Joy Blackstock, 23, was indicted May 1 by the Brown County grand jury. The indictment was sealed until she turned herself in May 8. Blackstock, who used to teach chorus at Early High School, was released on a $15,000 bond.
Logs at the Brown County Jail show Blackstock was charged with improper relations between an educator and student, a second-degree felony. If convicted, Blackstock faces two to 20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Early High School Principal Bobby Fryar began investigating the case after rumors surfaced of an inappropriate relationship between Blackstock and the student.
Early Police Chief David Mercer said Fryar confronted Blackstock with the allegations on April 4 and she reportedly confessed to having a relationship with the student.

Teacher Julie Landry, 46, Arrested for Forcing Boy, 7, Unclog Toilet With Hands - East Iberville Elementary

No, she's not accused of having sex with with anyone, but Julie Landry, who used to teach first grade at East Iberville Elementary in St. Gabriel, LA may wish she had after this story gets out. Landry has been charged with cruelty to a juvenile after she allegedly forced a 7-year-old boy in her class to clean out a clogged toilet . . . with his bare hands. Here's more from WAFB (link includes video clip . . . which you may not want to watch if you've just eaten, or are about to sit down to eat, or plan to eat any time this week):

Seven-year-old Trevor Williams says he used the restroom at school, but used too much toilet paper and stopped up the toilet. Trevor's mother says what the teacher made him do to unstop it is not only disgusting, but unimaginable. "Trevor, you go up in there and you unplug it. Then, told him next time, if you do it again, she gonna make him pull it out with his teeth," says Alfrieda Williams, the victim's mother. Williams is very upset. She says last Wednesday at East Iberville Elementary, where her son goes to school, the unthinkable happened. "I made the toilet overflow with toilet paper and poo," Trevor says.
The seven-year-old says his first grade teacher made him unstop the bathroom toilet at the school with his bare hands. An affidavit we obtained states that Trevor's teacher, Julie Landry, intentionally forced the child to place his hand in a toilet containing human feces and urine. However, that's not where the embarrassment ends. "S--sssy (pronounced Essy) hands. Here comes sssy hands," says Michael Williams, Trevor's father. He says that's what the kids called his son the next day.

Teacher Fired for Being Part of Bikini Crew on Fishing Boats - Tiffany Shepherd, Port St. Lucie High School

Does the State of Florida pay its teachers enough? Apparently not, since Tiffany Shepherd, a biology teacher at Port St. Lucie High School had to find a second job to make ends meet and take care of her three kids. Unfortunately, that second job was as a bikini-clad mate on fishing tour boats for a company called Smokin' Em, and for some reason the school district didn't think that was appropriate. At right, a picture of Tiffany Shepard in her bikini. Here's more from The Daily Mail which also includes a number of other great pics of Tiffany.

The 30-year-old blonde from Fort Pierce – who has a pre-medical degree - performs the usual duties of a ship's mate, but wears a bikini and fetches drinks and sandwiches for the men on board. She took the job three weeks ago to help support her three young sons following a divorce.
"I can make $600 [£300] in two days' fishing," she said. "That's a week's pay for me." Smokin' Em Charters, a Port St. Lucie-based company, has pictures of some of the bikini mates on its website - many of them partially nude - and says the only job requirement is to look "hot in a bikini".
Ms Shepherd, who said she does not go topless on the fishing boat, said she doesn't believe the job is inappropriate or at odds with her role as a teacher to high school students. "You don't wear jeans or slacks to go fishing," she said. "I wasn't doing anything wrong."
Officials said suggestive photos of Ms Shepherd on the Smokin' Em website could have posed a problem because they could undermine her effectiveness.

Female Teacher Arrested for Third Time for Sex With Students, Was Caught in the Act While Out on Bail! Stephanie Ragusa, Martinez Middle School

Is the third time a charm? Could be for cops who have previously arrested teacher Stephanie Ragusa twice in the past couple of months for sex with different underage boys. Apparently she can't stay away from the young ones as just this week, while she was out on bail after her second arrest for having sex with an underage boy, Ragusa was CAUGHT IN THE ACT having sex again with one of the original victims! After this arrest, she's being held without bond. On the plus side, at right is probably the best picture we have seen of Ms. Ragusa.
Here's more from My Fox Tampa Bay:

A Hillsborough County teacher who has been arrested twice on charges of having sex with underage students has been arrested for a third time.
Sources say 28-year-old Stephanie Ragusa was caught in the act Monday with one of the victims she was originally charged with having sex with.
The 15-year-old boy reportedly did not show up for school Monday, and when police went to check on him, they found him with Ragusa.
She was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail late Monday afternoon.
Lt. Lt. Fred Asteasuainzarra, with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, said Ragusa faces two new charges: one of unlawful sex with a certain minor that stems from today's arrest; and another charge of unlawful sex with a certain minor, stemming from an incident on April 5.
"I can assure you that we are doing everything we can right now to make sure that she is not out at liberty to do this again," Asteasuainzarra said. Asteasuainzarra also said Ragusa is not talking to investigators. Reports indicate she was arrested today at the home of her second victim.

Female Teacher Franca Munoz-Juvera Pleads Guilty to Affair With Girl, 16 - Lakeside High School

Not only did this teacher have an affair with an underage girl, her twin sister and another roommate helped . . . and not it looks like all of them are going to jail where they will be incarcerated with a bunch of other women in close quarters. That's punishment? Here's more on the case in the Press Enterprise against former math teacher Franca Munoz-Juvera. (At right, her mug shot picture)

Franca Munoz-Juvera, 27, who taught math at Lakeside High School until June, pleaded guilty to a single count of lewd acts with a minor for having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student between October and November 2006.
According to Riverside County court records, Munoz-Juvera told authorities that she loves the girl but knew it was inappropriate to have a sexual relationship with her student.
The student told investigators that they kissed while in a Lakeside High School classroom during school hours and had sexual contact with each other, according to court records.
Antonia Munoz-Juvera and Valerio helped arrange for the student to spend the night with Franca Munoz-Juvera, according to court records.
They drove the student from her home in Riverside County to their Rancho Cucamonga apartment, and coached the girl on ways of deceiving her parents, the records show.
The case began to unfold when the student's father found inappropriate e-mail messages between his daughter and Franca Munoz-Juvera in September 2006, according to court records filed in support of an arrest warrant.

Teacher Shannon Lynn Best Admits "Kissing and Fondling" Female Student, 18, Sending Her Nude Pictures

This story started as a "teacher may have kissed a student" tale, to one where it's now allegedly a female teacher, Shannon Lynn Best, at Sanderson High School in North Carolina, getting involved with possibly more than one female student. According to cops, Best admitted to that that she kissed and fondled an 18-year-old female student who she invited over to her house for a sleep over and also sent the student nude photos of herself on her cell phone. At right, Shannon Lynn Best's mug shot picture. Here's more from NBC 17:
According to the warrant, Shannon Lynn Best, 29, admitted to having a relationship with the girl lasting three to four weeks.

Best resigned Monday after being accused of having sex with the 18-year-old girl over the weekend. Under North Carolina law, the student-teacher relationship is off-limits for intimate behavior, even if the student is a legal adult. The state statute makes it a felony to take “indecent liberties with a victim who is a student, at any time ... before the victim ceases to be a student.”
Upon learning of the teacher's resignation on Monday, many parents of Sanderson High students said the news was appalling. David Setser of Raleigh said he didn’t feel “real good” about the news. He has a 15-year-old daughter at Sanderson. His daughter, Hannah, said it was “disturbing.” “I didn't find out until second period and I just found it very disturbing,” she said.

Third Grade Teacher Accused of Renting Spring Break House for Teens, Allowing Them to Drink - Gina Black, South Conway Elementary School

Thanks teach! Apparently the boys at Conway High School in South Carolina weren't old enough to rent a beach house for themselves during Spring Break, so Gina Black, a third grade teacher at South Conway Elementary School allegedly rented it for them. And then, being like typical teenagers on Spring Break, the boys started drinking. Here's more from Charlotte Observer:

The Georgetown County Sheriff's Office arrested a South Conway Elementary School teacher Thursday morning and charged her with three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Gina Black, 39, a third-grade teacher at the school, was arrested after several staff members at Conway High School called the Sheriff's Office to report an incident they said happened over the school's spring break, said Neil Johnson, spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
Johnson said three Conway High School students told staff that Black rented a beach house on Waccamaw Drive in Garden City Beach for a group of students and allowed them to use it and drink alcohol during the week of spring break - March 22 through March 29.
Three of those students, all 17, told the Sheriff's Office that they helped pay for the house and that Black knew they were drinking, Johnson said. Black was suspended from her job at the elementary school with pay starting April 3, said Horry County Schools spokeswoman Teal Britton said. Black's mother, Gail Marlowe, supported her daughter.
"There certainly was no giving them alcohol. Gina had her children with her at this house; that's why she was there - to chaperone," she said. "We are trying not to say anything that would damage her case in any way or contribute to the situation as it stands, but my daughter doesn't drink, she doesn't allow her children to drink and she certainly did not give alcohol to those teenagers."

Teacher Melissa Beth Williams, 41, Charged w. Improper Relationship Between Educator and Student, 17 - Huntington Schools

What a great way to start off the week with--surprise--a female teacher sex scandal! This time it's allegedly a 41-year-old teacher from Huntington, Texas. At right, a picture of Melissa Beth Williams in court. Here's more from the Lufkin Daily News:

Appearing in court with her husband Friday afternoon, Melissa Beth Williams, 41, turned herself in to the Angelina County Jail at approximately 1:30 p.m. before being released on a $25,000 bond an hour and a half later, said her attorney Ryan Deaton. She has been charged of improper relationship between an educator and student — a second-degree felony charge in Texas. "She said that she is not guilty of this offense," Deaton said.
In the affidavit, Williams admitted to sexual contact with the student. According to the report, two witnesses said the student told them "shortly after the sexual contact occurred" that he'd had sex with Williams.
Child Protective Services contacted school officials Tuesday after the student's mother called them, said Huntington ISD police Chief Michael Jinkins. Jinkins booked Williams into jail after her brief bond hearing Friday. "We expect all teachers to hold themselves in a respectful and professional manner with all staff, students and community," he said. Williams, who resigned Wednesday, was a teacher at the Huntington Pride alternative campus and has four children, including three in the school district, according to Deaton. Her oldest son is 17, said Williams' husband, David, during the court hearing. Williams' husband filed for divorce from her in August, according to district clerk records previously printed in The Lufkin Daily News. The couple agreed to dismiss the filing days later, according to records at the Angelina County District Clerk's Office.
While Williams is out on bond, she is prohibited from going within 50 feet of the campus at 908 Main St. in Huntington, said Justice of the Peace Billy Ball, who set her bond provisions. She is also prohibited from being around anyone under the age of 18 unless a person over the age of 21 is present. Ball is also requiring Williams to submit to drug testing.

Teacher Caught by Husband With Boy, 16, Chases Them Around House With Gun - Jennifer Gonzales, Mount Nebo Junior High School

Ah, how romantic. A hot female teacher and an underage young boy down in the basement of her home with candles burning and massage oil nearby. He gently massages her breasts and buttocks (according to police) when the door opens and there stands the teacher's husband . . . with a GUN! According to published reports, that's what happened to Mount Nebo Junior High School teacher Jennifer Gonzales, 32, on Sunday when her husband Richard Gonzales came home from work to find the two together. When he did, the boy was seen running to a bathroom pulling his pants up, and his wife was topless, and also pulling her pants up. At one point, an understandably angry Mr. Gonzales allegedly started chasing the lovers around the house with a gun and according to one report, set their clothes on fire. She's now been arrested for unlawful sexual conduct with the 16-year-old, who was also her "proctor son" which apparently means she took temporary care of the boy because he may have some kind of emotional issues. For his part, Richard Gonzales was arrested on aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges. (Desert Morning News)

Teacher Katherine Harder, 31, Caught in Parked Car With Boy, 17 - Manhattan High School, Kansas

As we said with a post earlier today, the female teachers now appear to be so aggressively going after underage boys, that they can't even wait to get them home or to a hotel room. According to police, Katherine Harder, 31, a language arts teacher at Manhattan High School in Kansas was caught in a parked car with a 17-year-old male student. At right is the only picture we have found so far of Katherine Harder. Not sure what is wrong with her neck, but we guess some guys like that in a woman.
Here's more from KTKA - link includes video clip:

Harder and the boy drove down this road to a secluded area outside of Manhattan. And this is where Pottawatomie County police say they found the two in a car about 10 o’clock Wednesday night, the Spillway Marina at Tuttle Creek State Park.
Authorities say the 31-year-old teacher was having sex with one of her students, a boy, 17-years-old. Though this arrest has rattled the Manhattan School District, Jones says it's not the school's first sex scandal.
"I had heard through the..just the grapevine that it happened many years ago, so that would have been at least nine years ago, which would have been before my time," Jones said. School administrators are planning to meet with students and parents wanting answers. Katherine Harder was released today from jail on a $3,000 bond. She faces five to 13 months in jail if she's convicted.

Substitute Teacher Lisa Robyn Marinelli Charged With Sex With a Minor: Boy Caught Pulling Up Pants Coming Out of Her Car - Mitchell High School

UPDATE: Sub Involved With 17-Year-Old Boy Originally Wanted Him for Her Daughter - In an odd twist to this already strange story, Lisa Robyn Marinelli, the substitute teacher at the center of a new female teacher sex scandal, reportedly originally approached a high school boy telling him he was "on the list" of potential suitors for her 15-year-old daughter. After that, according the court documents, the boy started visiting Marinelli's house when one evening she instructed him to meet her down the street where the two of them started making out in her car. The report goes on to say that Marinelli's reported to have said "This is bad," several times while kissing the 17-year-old. Ya think?
After that, the pair had sex (according the boy) about 10 times, with many of their trysts set up via text messages. According to the cops, Marinelli sent a number of racy messages to the boy, including: "How about a quicky 2morrow afternoon," and "You can meet me at home at 3. Real men only need 20 minutes. We will be alone cause there is a field trip." What kind of field trip were those kids on?

While updating this story, we also noticed an unfortunate juxtaposition of the story and a nearby ad for a weight loss product that featured a dark haired young girl who looks like she could be Marinelli's daughter, and appears to be trying to pull her own pants down in a somewhat seductive pose, and has that look that says "Hey mom, what happened to that cute boy you were going to introduce me to?
The site has since pulled that ad, but not before we snagged a screen capture. Click on the image for a larger view. (Sun Coast News)

EARLIER STORY: Florida seems to be leading the nation in teacher sex scandals, and the latest one has a lot of great details. According to police, the father of a 16-year-old high school boy became suspicious when he saw his boy getting out of substitute teacher Lisa Robyn Marinelli's Chrylser 300 pulling up his pants. According to police, the 40-year-old Marinelli also gave the boy a pair of her panties as a memento of their sexual relationship. At right, Lisa Robyn Marinelli's mugh shot picture. Here's more from TBO.com:

Communication between Marinelli and the boy began in January, when the boy was 16, records state. It was unclear how Marinelli met the boy.
"The victim's father provided documents of hundreds of cell phone calls, and there were about 35 text messages still on the victim's cell phone," Doll said.
The boy showed investigators several locations where he said he had sex with Marinelli in her vehicle, Doll said. Under Florida law, a 17-year-old cannot consent to sex with a person 24 or older.
The boy told investigators he had sex with Marinelli 10 times between Jan. 12 and Feb. 27, an affidavit stated. Most of the sexual encounters took place in Marinelli's car at locations in and around the Longleaf community.
A business address on Marinelli's arrest report is that of Mitchell High School on Little Road in New Port Richey. It was not immediately known whether Marinelli, of 9824 Nicklaus Drive, had worked at other schools in the county. She has no previous arrest history, records show.

Two Female Teachers, Katie Frawley & Maureen Van Vechten, Accused of Giving Alcohol to Underage Boy - Morrisville-Eaton High School

How many female teachers does it take to get an 18-year-old boy drunk? That's a trick question, because we're not sure from the story if Morrisville-Eaton High School teachers Katie M. Frawley, 26 and Maureen E. Van Vechten, 36 actuallt got the senior male drunk or not, but cops believe that they did provide him with alcohol and we think there might be some law against that. No additional details (so no sense speculating that they were trying to have sex with him) but both ladies are supposed to be arraigned today (Wednesday) on charges of "unlawfully dealing with a child." Sounds like an odd kid of charge, doesn't it? Maybe that's all they can stick them with now. Stay tuned. Oh, and at right, the mug shot pictures of Katie M. Frawley and Maureen E. Van Vechten.
