This is a link to a video about a teacher in Kentucky who has been accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student. When the rumors started circulating around the school, the teacher immediately went to school officials and reported it. The teacher was suspended, and then arrested. Even though there is absolutely no physical proof or even witnesses that anything had happened.
After the school looked into the rumors, and the rumors were determined to be false based on the simple fact that the student involved told them that there was no sexual relationship of any kind, the police and prosecutors arrested and charged the teacher.
It certainly does sound like this is a case of a false allegation.
The kicker in all of this? The teacher is female, the student male.

why is that such a kicker..from what i'm reading the only teachers that are having sex with their students are female teachers.
Actually, I'm seeing quite a few news articles recently dealing with male teachers and thier students.
The overreaction in this case isn't typical when it's a female teacher. That is why it caught my attention.
"The teacher was suspended, and then arrested. Even though there is absolutely no physical proof or even witnesses that anything had happened."
I remember reading about tis case - I even used it in a question to another poster who argued that children ought not be held responsible for harm they cause by false allegations - http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2009/08/weve-rewritten-news-story-how-do-you.html?showComment=1249255903299#c3343732416237038910.
At the time I first learned of it (at this link, which is still active http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=8221857&page=1), the teacher was already set to go to trial, an it seemed that it was school officials who bullied the student into claiming he had had sex with her. Seems it all stemmed from rumors - likely teenage male braggadocio - about her having had sex with students. From the linked article:
"Howell said she was told that both boys denied any sexual contact with her to the principal. Other rumors that followed, including that the accuser's father drove his son to her apartment for sex, was also disproved, Howell said.
But on Dec. 15 when she was suspended, Howell said the principal told her that the accuser, who had been threatened with possible expulsion for lying about such a serious allegation, had recanted his denial and was accusing Howell of having sex with him."
Personally, I get the impression that this woman is actually innocent of the alleged wrong doings, and is caught up in a legal system that at times tends to rush ahead without properly and fully investigating. And, as with the men who find themselves in such predicaments, I feel for this woman.
It was bound to happen that a woman would become victimized as so many men have. I would just hope that other women who become outraged at the injustice towards this women will also come to recognize just how often if happens to men - oh!, and be just as outraged for them.
Only a very strong barrier of skepticism can protect innocent people -- including woman teachers -- from false accusations. If that means that some guilty people get away with it then so be it -- that is a very small price to pay to protect our society.
If you go ahead and arrest the victim and THEN investigate you have already cut the victim's throat. Enough is enough. No more guessing -- arrest in cases involving solid, reliable evidence ONLY.
I have read about this case here and there and although she keeps saying she is innocent and her and her lawyer have added a few more facts to her public defense there are some questions.
The texting thing is very incriminating. She had over 25 texts to/from the boy and has changed her story about why she even texts her students. The boy was not even her student anyway.
She said he stole her phone, ok but a teacher has no business texting any student. There is no reason for it. Had this texting thing just been the one boy then I would not even look at that but she openly admits to texting with her students. At the very least that would be a huge warning sign and would require some poking into.
But I will agree what I see isn't enough to say she is guilty of having sex with the student.
So I came back to this because something else has left me unsettled about it.
I gave the matter some thought and went back and watched the video again and then it dawned on me.
Look at her pictures from graduation then at court etc. This woman went through a very real change. Dropped a ton of weight and really went for "Looks".
Again not a fact to base sexual guilt on but I feel even if she didn't actually have sex with this boy she willingly put herself on dangerous ground. This woman was seriously flirting with the idea and got caught in the trap feminists have been setting for men for years.
If this does turn out to be a false rape claim then it is simply the rare occasion of feminist double standards coming back on one of their own.
re some of the earlier comments...
There are about three male offenders to each female offender committing child sexual abuse.
However eight to ten percent of female abusers are teachers. For male abusers it is below one percent.
So in actual fact a scenario involving a teacher and student is three times more likely to be a female teacher and boy than the reverse.
It sounds like the rape accusations against this woman teacher are completely phony. Unlike, the Female Supremacists who actually want to see innocent men go to jail for rape, I hope that truth and justice prevail regarding the rape charges for this woman teacher .
She may be guilty of misconduct, if they can prove the text messages. Men teachers who send text messages to girls often get in big legal trouble, even if the text messages are not sexual in nature.
It was striking how the media was so sympathetic to this WOMAN who is accused. I have NEVER seen the media be sympathetic to a MAN who was accused, no matter how PHONY the accusations.
How about her lawyer saying she’s being “Nifong-ed”?… Oh the irony!!!
ForeignWomenOnly - "How about her lawyer saying she’s being “Nifong-ed”?… Oh the irony!!!"
This comes as quite a pleasant irony, however.
Each and every time the term "Nifong-ed" is used, it reminds the public of perhaps the single best example we have of an undeniably false rape claim that was spun widely and caused significant harm.
slwerner,
True... it should be used often. Roethlisber's attorney used the other day.
