update.

She sure seems fixated/determined to land the lad.
 
I think his nose slid off again... but other than that... just the flu... which I don't believe for a second.

If he does have it, I would suggest that he had himself injected with contagion to delay the trial. Lord knows he could never get the flu normally because he always wears a mask and won't touch anyhting that hasn't been sterelized 4 times over.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn' this whole idea
(like fag marriage) a brand new thing???
C'Mon I mean REALLY did wimen's get
seven-year prison sentences for
'getting banged' by a teenager?

Can you say societal inversion?

Crap next thing you know Americans
are going to think they should report their
personal income to the Government.
 
Teacher jailed for sex with pupil 5 minutes ago



SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian female teacher was jailed for six months Thursday for having sex with a teenage student, with a warning from the judge that future offenders could not expect such "lenient" treatment.

Karen Louise Ellis, a 37-year-old physical education teacher, had earlier received a suspended sentence of 22 months after she pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual penetration with a boy aged under 16.

But the Supreme Court of Victoria's Court of Appeal in Melbourne upheld an appeal by prosecutors against the leniency of that sentence, saying that mother-of-three Ellis should have been sentenced to two years' jail on each of the counts.

Justice Frank Callaway instead imposed a new sentence of two years and eight months. He sent Ellis to jail for six months and suspended the balance of the new sentence for three years.

"This was not a foolish lapse on one occasion that was not repeated. There were six counts and two distinct periods of offending," Callaway said in a written judgment.

He said that "a like offender in the future could not expect the same leniency."

"Men and women are to be treated on their merits and not according to their sex and ... the law is concerned to protect all children from abuse, especially from those in a position of power, authority or trust," Callaway said.

Local media reported that Ellis burst into tears as she was led from the court.

"She's pretty devastated, we're all devastated," Ellis's lawyer Chester Metcalfe told reporters outside the court. "She's taking it pretty hard at the moment, as you can expect."

The original trial had heard that Ellis, then 36, began seeing the boy, identified only as Benjamin, in late 2003.

She first had sex with him in her suburban Melbourne home on Oct. 10 of that year, after which she drove Benjamin, then 15, to a nearby railway station.

A similar pattern was repeated another five times in October and November of that year until the boy's mother saw him getting out of Ellis' car on Nov. 23 and became suspicious.

The court heard the boy had failed school that year and had since become estranged from his family.

Get this man off the bench before he gets shot for knowing his responsibility.
 
Poor kid. He fucked the teacher and STILL didn't pass. If that's not a blow to the self-esteem I don't know what is.
