The problem still continues in our public schools


A former instructor at Western Harnett High School is facing allegations that he had sex with a student.
Rodney Donnell Ellis, 38, of Brookhannah Court in Fuquay-Varina, is charged with a felony.

Authorities say the alleged victim is a 17-year-old student at Harnett Central High School. It's where Harnett County Superintendent Phil Ferrell says Ellis worked at for the past three school years as a special needs teacher and assistant football coach, before transferring to Western Harnett at the beginning of the school year to pick up similar duties.

It's believed the teacher may have gotten to know the victim during his time at Harnett Central.

The investigation into Ellis' alleged sexual encounter began after the mother of the student contacted the school system and reported Ellis had sex with her daughter at her home in Angier the day after Thanksgiving.

After receiving the information from the parent, Ferrell contacted the Harnett County Sheriff's Office and requested an investigation into the allegation.

School leaders say Ellis resigned his teaching position at Western Harnett High School on November 29, two days after the investigation into the sex charges began.

Ellis was arrested Thursday and placed in the Harnett County Jail under a $10,000 bond.

Former Prosser Mayor Charged with Rape of a Child

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- Former Prosser Mayor Linda Lusk suddenly faces two new felony charges for sex crimes, including rape of a child and communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

The charges come six months after the case involving Lusk and a 14-year-old boy first came to light. Earlier this summer, prosecutors charged Lusk with 3rd degree child molestation for allegedly inviting a Prosser High School teen to her home, in late April, for a brief sexual encounter.

As of Tuesday, prosecutors said Lusk had not committed any more crimes so KEPR wanted to know: why the added charges?

Attorneys on either side, who used to work together in the prosecutor's office, now disagree over an agreement they made in June. In an email exchange, Lusk's attorney, Scott Johnson, said Miller would file only one sex crime charge against Lusk if she agreed to three things: make a statement about what happened, be truthful, and "take responsibility" for what happened.

KEPR found, it's the "taking responsibility" part where there is a major difference of opinion. Miller argues, by "taking responsibility", Lusk would be pleading guilty to child molestation so the alleged victim would not have to be part of a trial at such a young age. If she did that, Johnson said, Miller would not file the extra two charges.

But Johnson said he had a very different interpretation of what that agreement meant. He told KEPR that he never believed "taking responsibility" meant Lusk had to plead guilty. He explained that setting up the parameters of a statement to police does not mean Lusk was confessing. Johnson said she was just agreeing to give her side of the story.

Since the deal was essentially off, prosecutors leveled the two new charges.

Neither attorney would agree to an on-camera interview since things are "heating up."

Johnson said he plans to ask a judge to throw out the new charges. It's up to a judge to decide if the former mayor will face one sex crime or all three.

So far, this does not change Lusk's trial date which is still set for January 24. Johnson still insists that his client will not take a plea deal.

Teacher in court accused of sex with student


A local high school teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with one of his students made his first court appearance Thursday.

Scott Peterson stood before a judge Thursday. The mother of his 17-year-old alleged victim's mother was also in the courtroom.

"I'm just sad and upset and I'm completely devastated this whole thing happened," said "Christine," the victim's mother.

Peterson is accused of having unlawful sex with the victim beginning last April.

"We do believe that he was grooming her prior to that when she was 16," said Katherine David, Orange County deputy district attorney.

The 48-year-old allegedly met the girl at Orange High School, where he taught Spanish for the past few years. Prosecutors say he would take her to Disneyland, meet her and her friends at social events and hang out.

"They also had each other's cell phone numbers, and so these sexually explicit text messages going back and forth is really the communication avenue that they took," said David.

"I found out through a text message and I notified Orange Police Department," said Christine.

Police arrested Peterson coming out of a riverbed in Orange, where he is suspected of regularly meeting the victim to have sex.

"She's still spiraling out of control. She's still basically brainwashed by him," said Christine.

Christine's family attorney suspects there may be other victims.

"He had known that the police were investigating him for several months and despite that fact, he still was caught with her again," said the vitcim's family attorney Vince Finaldi. "So that tells me he's very bold in what he was doing."

"Mr. Peterson is naturally very ashamed of this entire matter. Just now, his thoughts are of the students, the faculty and staff at Orange High School and hopes that his misfortune does not degrade the reputation of that very fine institution," said Peterson's attorney, Andrew Lloyd.

Peterson was free on $100,000 bail. He is expected back in court in February.

Substitute teacher charged with sex assault of student

Saturday, January 08, 2011
VINELAND - A substitute teacher has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a student at a party, according to Vineland police.

Remarno O. Chambers, 27, of Vineland, is charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault.

Chambers is accused of assaulting the student at a party attended by high school students after supplying the alleged victim with "alcohol and/or drugs," according to police.

Chambers was lodged at Cumberland County Jail on $250,000 bail. He is expected to be arraigned sometime next week.

Chambers had been a substitute teacher at Vineland High School South, on East Chestnut Avenue. Vineland Public Schools spokesman John Sbrana stated he had been teaching there since September 2010.

The spokesman said Chambers was subject to a background check, which he passed, before he was hired.

Sbrana stated he could not comment on Chambers current employment status with the school district, adding the school board will review the case and come to a decision at a later date.

"He's not in the classroom, I can tell you that," he said.

It remained unclear as of Friday where the victim, whose name and age have not yet been released by investigators, goes to school.

Police say they are trying to determine if any other students may have been victims.

According to records available at Cumberland County Courthouse, Chambers had been charged in July 2006 with assault. However, the offense was later downgraded to municipal court.

The records list Chambers address at that time as West Chestnut Avenue, in Vineland.

The Vineland Police Department's Criminal Division and the Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office investigated the case

Third student's relationship with teacher investigated

January 07, 2011
The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office is investigating a third possible case against a Jefferson Middle School math teacher who has been charged with sexual offenses involving two girls at the school.

The sheriff's office is trying to retrieve about 1,000 text messages exchanged between Mark Tobin Mercer and the third girl, Maj. Brad Stanley, a spokesman for the sheriff's office, said Thursday.

The content of those messages will determine whether additional criminal charges will be filed, Stanley said.

A story Thursday in the Winston-Salem Journal incorrectly reported that the 1,000 text messages were exchanged with one of the two students named in the warrants alleging 29 counts of sexual offenses. Those two students' parents went to Winston-Salem police Sunday with concerns about the nature of the girls' relationships with Mercer.

Mercer, 23, of 805 Ellington Drive, was charged Tuesday with 13 counts of statutory rape, eight counts of felony sex offense with a student and eight counts of taking indecent liberties. Police say the incidents occurred off campus between Oct. 1 and Dec. 28. Mercer was being held Thursday afternoon in the Forsyth County Jail with bond set at $1.2 million. He is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 21.

In the third case, which is being handled by the sheriff's office, the mother of the girl who exchanged the large number of texts with Mercer discovered them on her daughter's phone on Dec. 28. The parent called a Winston-Salem/Forsyth County school system administrator, who met with the parent, Jefferson Principal Brad Royal and Jefferson's school resource officer, who is a Forsyth County sheriff's deputy.

The parent could see the number of messages but could not read them, Superintendent Don Martin said.

The excessive number of texts violated the system's Internet policy, which calls for minimal individual contact between teachers and students, and Martin said he advised school administrators to draft a letter suspending Mercer with pay.

After the criminal charges investigated by Winston-Salem police came to light, the school system suspended Mercer without pay. Martin said he will recommend to the school board that the teacher be fired.

As of Thursday afternoon, police said they knew of no other potential cases linked to Mercer.

Teacher-student sex cases rise in US
Jan 8, 2011

Incidents of female teachers having sex with teenage students seem to be on the rise in the US, with the latest being that of a 27-year-old woman who has been arrested for allegedly making love with a 16-year-old pupil in her car.

Ashley Blumenshine was held behind a department store in Plainfield, Illinois, after police caught her in a car with the teenage student; cops believe they had sex shortly before the officers arrived, the Daily Mail online reported.

The dance and physical education teacher at Plainfield North High School is being held in custody charged with having sex with the student, a junior at the school. Her attorney has said that the unmarried teacher is innocent.

Will county state attorney's assistant Mary Fillipitch has said that both occupants admitted they had just engaged in consensual sexual intercourse. A condom was taken as evidence from the vehicle, the report said.

Blumenshine's just the latest scandal. Jennifer Riojas, 27, a teacher in Texas, was pregnant when arrested for sexual assault in November after allegedly having sex with a student, 16, in motels.

Similarly, social studies teacher Megan Baumann, 27, pleaded guilty to texting naked photos to three male students in Tennessee.

Another 40-year-old dance teacher Gina Watring of North Carlonia is serving a five-year jail term after pleading guilty in September to having sex with a 10-year-old student.

Carlie Rose Attebury, 31, who was a teacher in California, was convicted in November for having sex with a student under 16.

Marcie Rousseau, who was 33 and married when charged, is being tried for allegedly having sex with a student on five occasions. The 17-year-old testified that Rousseau told him she loved him, too, when he was 16.

Garden City teacher gets 3-15 for sex with girl
Jan. 10, 2011

A former Garden City High School teacher was sentenced today to 3 to 15 years in prison and ordered to register as a sex offender under a plea agreement.

David E. Goscinski, 37, of Woodhaven pleaded guilty on Dec. 14 in Wayne County Circuit Court to one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct for having sex with a 17-year-old female student, giving the girl obscene material and of using a computer to send the material to her.

He was originally charged with four counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a student, a 15-year felony; distributing obscene material to a minor, a two-year felony, and using a computer to commit a felony, a two- to four-year felony.

Under today’s sentencing agreement, Judge James Chylinski also ordered Goscinski not to have any contact with the girl and to pay $60 to a crime victims’ fund. Chylinski assessed Goscinski $68 in state charges and gave him 67 days credit toward time served.

It was the second time in two months in which a Garden City teacher was sentenced for having sex with a student.

In November, former Garden City schoolteacher Virginia Homberg, 45, was sentenced to serve 10-25 years in prison for sexually assaulting a male student.

Wayne County Circuit Judge Timothy Kenny also ordered Homberg to serve three to 15 years for two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. The sentences will be served concurrently.

Whooter, as much as I disagree with your opinions concerning the TTI, I'd be interested in your thoughts (if any) concerning the hype surrounding the shooting in AZ a couple of days ago...there's some commentary on Tacitus Realm, in the Tea Party thread.. thanks.

Former Martin, Tenn., teacher gets 5 years for sex with minor student
January 11, 2011

A school teacher from Martin, Tenn., was sentenced today in Memphis to nearly 5 years in federal prison for taking an underage male student across the borders of several states for sex.

Stanley Wren Vickers, 45, a former soccer coach and teacher at Martin Middle School, pleaded guilty in October to having a sexual relationship between 2002 and 2005 with the student who was one of his players on the team.

The student was 14 when the relationship began and it continued when the student moved on to high school and Vickers transferred to the same school.

Authorities said Vickers used “dares and bets” to entice the boy to participate in sexual activities with him in hotels, church parking lots, football field concessions stands and at a shoe store in Sharon where they were nearly caught in the act.

Locations included St. Louis, Mo., Paducah, Ky., and various places in Tennessee.

U.S. Dist. Court Judge Bernice Donald sentenced Vickers to 71 months in prison and 35 years of supervision upon release.

Ex-teacher convicted in Calif student sex case
01/07/2011

FRESNO, Calif.—Jurors have convicted a former California high school teacher of 13 felonies for having sex with an underage student and exchanging sexually explicit text messages with other teenagers.

It took Fresno County jurors a day to reach guilty verdicts Thursday against Jonathan Malcolm, a former University High School music teacher. He faces up to 11 years in prison when he's sentenced March 21.

Malcolm testified during trial that he had a sexual relationship with his former student after she graduated in 2007, even though he knew she was 17 years old. He also admitted sending sex texts to two students, messages he described as inappropriate banter.

The Fresno Bee says the Malcolm is free on bail until sentencing, with an admonition from the judge to stay away from pornography and teenagers.

Former teacher gets probation for sex with student

January 12, 201

A former teacher at a Near West Side Christian high school was sentenced to 24 months of sex offender probation today after she pleaded guilty to having sex with one of her students.

Kathryn Vail-Wesley, 24, will be required to register on the state's sex offender registry and undergo specialized offender monitoring after she pleaded guilty to a single count of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, according to the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

Vail-Wesley, a former world religion teacher at Chicago Hope Academy, was indicted on multiple counts of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse for allegedly having sex twice with the then-17-year-old student in fall 2008, state’s attorney spokesman Tandra Simonton said.

Vail-Wesley and the student had sex at her apartment and inside the school at 2189 West Bowler St., Simonton said.

The teacher's October 2008 arrest sparked an outcry from a victim's advocacy group that criticized the school's response to the incident. The teen's mother also claimed that school officials threatened her son with expulsion if he didn't withdraw. The victim’s mother filed a lawsuit against the school on behalf of her son.
