TULARE, Calif. -- A first-year high school teacher has been charged with having sex with three of her students.

Tulare police said a staff member at Tulare Western High School went to administrators after hearing rumors that Elizabeth Stow, 26, was having sex with the teens.

All three students are 17 years old, and two are cooperating with police, authorities said.

Students said Stow liked to party with the kids and was friendly with boys in her class.

"They started checking with students ... and they found the name of one student who did admit to being involved with this teacher," said Jerry Breckinridge of the Tulare Police Department.

"I don't feel that this is something that should be going on at any school, let alone here at Tulare Western," said parent Mary Ann Luis.

1. Is that like the new "thing"..?

The lastest fad? I just don't understand... :hi:

[Fenris]

2. It seems to come up every few weeks...

Mostly it just turns into flame wars over whether or not this is wrong. :eyes: :hi:

17. it does seem to be trendy these days

Unfortunately...

18. It's Always Been Around

it just didn't used to be a federal case. That was back when the media worried about real problems, for those who are older enough to remember when wars were allowed to be reported about.

3. Funny, there's one in Colorado Springs too.

This time it's with a former student. For some reason, it makes me think of the mass shark attacks we had a few years ago.

10. Is the former student over 18 or not?

[ZenLefty]

12. Nope. 17.

And she's in jail for it. :eyes:

COLORADO SPRINGS - A teacher at Wasson High School in Colorado Springs was arrested Tuesday for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy who was a former student.

Gwen Anne Cardozo, 33, was booked into the El Paso County jail. She faces a charge of sex assault on a child in a position of trust. Cardozo resigned her teaching position on March 31.

I don't get how it was a "position of trust" when he was a former student. But obviously, I don't know all the facts.

13. Well, if it is 17, it's statutory rape.

IMO

[ZenLefty]

14. In the law's opinion, too.

But I think 17 should be old enough to consent.

[coloradodem2005]

15. Unless they are a high school student paired with a teacher.

on edit: Just out of curiosity, why do you think 17 should be age of consent?

16. and the summer of the shark preceded...

9/11...

4. Adult answer: This is an outrage. I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I say...

...Inner Child answer: Why couldn't I have had teachers like that! :cry:

[_TJ_]

8. Now, now settle down!

You'll just angry up everyone's blood with comments like that :evilgrin:

[_TJ_]

5. Aren't 17 year olds above the age of consent?

I can see why she should be fired but why are the police involved?
What law has she broken here?

[Balbus]

7. In some states 18 is the age of consent.

Don't know about where this took place but in Arizona it's 18.

[Zuni]

6. Clinton's legacy

:evilgrin:

[papau]

9. Male "consent" to sex before age 18 never happened before Clinton

:evilgrin:

[Baclava]

11. Loose lips sink ships...

..."they found the name of one student who did admit to being involved with this teacher"


...there's always one guy that ruins it for everybody...

[Bouncy Ball]

19. To be honest, barring a confession on the part of the teacher

I'm uncomfortable with assuming she had sex with them. So far, we have accusations. That's it. No trial yet.

Let her go on trial.

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. Sonofabitch, that makes me angry

I'm getting tired of these stories.

When I was in high school, all I had were very old women and men. Mostly middle aged men.

Not a young, nubile, hottie, sexually starving female teacher in the school at all.

NOT. A. DAMN. ONE.

Where's the justice? Where's the damn justice, I ask?!

21. the age of consent is 14 in Pennsylvania ....
