Hot For Teacher, Part LIX

OH, COME ON! You didn’t really think we’d let you get away for the holiday without at least one last parting shot at our favorite teacher did you? The sultry wench pleaded guilty and started working on her insanity plea. The young stud who was “abused” by aforementioned teacher is surprised to learn that his mother thinks he is scarred for life. Yeah, right. The kid is now what we refer to as a “made man”. And before you all jump all over me and scream about “what if this had been a male teacher and a young girl”, bear in mind that I don’t make the rules for our goobered up society, I just report on ‘em.

Oddly enough, she won’t be able to make money on a book or movie deal but here’s the catch .... this “hardened criminal” will never need to buy another drink in her life. All she has to do is walk into any neighborhood bar and proclaim loudly, “I’m a sexual predator.” The stampede will begin within seconds. Are we men a bunch of sexist pigs or what? In a related question, if she is unemployed how is she paying her attorney? He looks awfully tired in the picture below. I wonder ...

Florida Teacher Pleads Guilty in Sex Case
TAMPA, Fla. (AP)

A female teacher pleaded guilty Tuesday to having sex with a 14-year-old student, avoiding prison as part of a plea agreement. Debra Lafave, 25, whose sensational case made tabloid headlines, will serve three years of house arrest and seven years’ probation. She pleaded guilty to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery.

The former Greco Middle School reading teacher apologized during the hearing, saying “I accept full responsibility for my actions.” The boy told investigators the two had sex in a classroom at the school, located in Temple Terrace near Tampa, in her Riverview town house and once in a vehicle while his 15-year-old cousin drove them around Marion County.

The boy told investigators Lafave told him her marriage was in trouble and that she was aroused by the fact that having sex with him was not allowed. He said he and Lafave, a newlywed at the time, got to know each other on their way back from a class trip to SeaWorld Orlando in May 2004. If convicted at trial in Hillsborough County, she could have faced up to 15 years in prison on each count.

The plea agreement also was designed to resolve similar charges in Marion County, where Lafave was scheduled to appear in court Dec. 8. But prosecutor Ric Ridgeway said his office wants to speak with the boy’s family first. Hillsborough Circuit Judge Wayne Timmerman said LaFave also will forever lose her teaching certificate, must register with the state as a sexual predator, may not have any contact with children including the victim, and will not be allowed to profit from the sale of her story or personal appearances.

The victim’s mother said afterward that the public scrutiny had taken its toll on the family, and they just wanted to see it all end. “If we had continued along this path, this would have followed him forever,” said the mother, whose name was being withheld to protect her son’s identity. “My prayer is that he can leave this behind him and go on and be a happy, healthy young man.”

After Tuesday’s hearing, Lafave’s attorney, John Fitzgibbons, said the plea was “a fair resolution of this case.” Asked how she felt afterward, Lafave said “tired.” Fitzgibbons said in July that plea negotiations had broken off because prosecutors insisted on prison time, which he said would be too dangerous for someone as attractive as Lafave. He said then that she planned to plead insanity at trial, claiming emotional stress kept her from knowing right from wrong.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
