Pamela Rogers Released From Jail

(McMinnville, Tennessee) Convicted child sex offender and former teacher, 28-year-old Pamela Rogers, was released from jail yesterday after completing about six months of her nine month sentence. Rogers (aka Pamela Turner) earned an early release through good behavior.

To refresh everyone's memory, Pamela Rogers Turner (photos) was arrested and charged in February 2005 with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape of one of her students, a 13-year-old boy. In August, she pleaded no contest as part of an agreement with the prosecution and was sentenced. The agreement provided for dismissal of most of the 28 counts against her.

I think it's important to remember that Rogers was convicted of having a three-month sexual affair with a 13-year-old boy. Her crime was a clear case of child sexual abuse by a person in a position of authority and many observers believe Rogers received very lenient treatment by the court.

Her sentence includes seven years probation which, if violated, will send her back to jail. Rogers is already entered into the Tennessee sex offender registry with her photo posted on its website. In addition, she must complete 90 hours of community service.

In summary, the former teacher and former homecoming queen opens a new chapter in her life as an ex-convict and registered sex offender on probation. She forfeited her career, her good name and her marriage. In return, she's blanketed her life and her future with a dark cloud.

Poor decision-making skills produce poor results.

2 The real emotional effect of a story is when it reduced to an individual with their name beside a picture. This is what has happened to Pamela Joan Rogers. I started studying this story on 11.August.2005, when she took the plea. I watch the coverage on television that night and said she is not guilty. I have spent many hours since then studying the case. Talking with attorney about how it was conducted, talking to investigators about how it was not investigated correctly, talking to individuals that had some knowledge of the case. All this information makes me one hundred percent sure that I am correct when I say she is not guilty of anything. Her ex-husband and several of his friends and several people that did not like Pamela stung Pamela Rogers. I now know why the 13-year old boys' family could not say anything about the case. I now know why the 19-year old boy had to say what he said about the case. I now know why Pamela had to take the Plea. I now know who the 8 men and one woman involved in the sting are. I now know what the connections between Pamela and these 8 individuals are. This complex case is very simple when you put the time into it to understand what was happening. The case was completely made up for humiliation of Pamela at the time her ex-husband was asking for a divorce. Nothing improper happened between her and the 13-year-old boy. The case became public on the 28.January.2005 and she was indicted on 04.February.2005. No investigator or Distract Attorney could have understood a case this complex in that short of time. I am completely sure I am correct about the case. There is no evidence for Pamela to be guilty; there is no circumstantial evidence for her being guilty. The study of this case shows a Pamela Joan Rogers that is so nice that everyone at Centertown School simple adore her. Dan Bass danba@usit.net

3 IP seems to only post these types of stories. Quite frankly I would say that I think the most "harm" that has happened is to the reputations of the "victims" Imagine having to go thru your adolescence being constantly teased that you had told your mom that you were "molested" by the prettiest teacher in school. Every other kid in his class will be saying "Nice going *ssh*l* You ruined a good thing. If you didn't want it any more give her my number. Hook me up "

4 Ummmm.... How can an attractive older woman "molest" a teenage boy, exactly? This is the stuff that adolescent fantasies are made of!

5 You guys make it tough to take a side. On one hand, I agree with john ryan just from my own personal experiences with puberty. If it were my child, I would be on the warpath. But when I was 13, I spent many an afternoon or night in my treehouse with a pair of binoculars staring at the 20-something divorcee either in her shower (bedroom window was always open) or watching her getting a tan in the backyard. I would have loved for her to teach me a thing or two back then. I even used to go over and do things for her - like mow her yard, carry in groceries, etc. As an adult now, I suspect she knew I was her own personal peeping tom. I believe the open window was payment for the chores I did for her or she just liked to be watched. That was one pretty young lady and, if not at age 13, I'm sure my dad would not have been too upset by the time I was 15 to hear I was boning the single woman that every man on the street talked about. Of course, I was too young and stupid to even think about making an awkward move. Ironically, she was also an elementary school teacher. But Dan, it's hard for me to believe anyone would give up their career, reputation, and future unless she did more than what you say. Under most circumstances, a truly innocent person would fight like crazy for the sake of their own name. What you're saying is that she rolled over (no pun intended) due to a conspiracy. If the 13 y.o. were lying, a good lawyer would have had him on the witness stand and have him in tears confessing to the JFK assassination. I would only advocate putting a 13 year old through this IF I was sure he were lying, BTW, so we don't get into a mode of blaming the victim. I would demand to put the evidence on trial. If she really didn't do it, then what possible evidence could there be other than his word against her word unless he went straight to the police and had them break out a rape kit? That's why I find your story difficult to believe. I'm not saying it's not true because I'm not familiar with the case other than what I've heard on TV but if you can come across (again, no pun intended) with some hard information instead of vague statements, I'll give you a chance to win me over but our prisons are littered with people who are inside due to some grand conspiracy against them - their words, certainly not mine. What I see happening is a kid who gets lucky. He knows he's lucky and, like all 13 year old boys, brags about it to all his friends. Word gets around and one parent calls his parents and the story blows wide open. Again, I'm willing to read further if you can point me somewhere but it would have to be pretty convincing because any half-way decent lawyer and/or judge wouldn't allow all of the 'chatter' that has nothing to do with the case, to be presented. I'm also not naive enough to think that evidence can't be manufactured but you mention a lot of people involved and when there are that many, sooner or later, the perjury will start to get out. Give us more details.

6 By the way - just to clarify: I, in no way, condone predatory action by an adult onto a child. I'm just saying when I was 13 and having all these new things happening to me (think Joseph Gribble when he grew up over the summer), I would have clawed through 6 feet of granite to get the opportunity to get into my neighbor's pants.

7 What is it was a male teacher and male kid? Should a same-sex affair be seen as more or less predatory? Often times young gay kids dream about the older men in their lives.

8 This isn't about gay kids. It is about one really hot lady. Man, is she hot, or what?

9 The difference has a lot to do with the perception by the parent and the age of of the child and his awareness. A mentally retarded (or PC equivalent) 13 year old would never (hopefully) be acceptable to the parent or by society as a teacher's sexual partner. There have been lot of movies where the teen boy spends the whole two hours trying to get with the older woman. Most people don't seem to have a big problem with a 'normal' hormonal boy and an older woman. The line gets a lot fuzzier when it's the kid's teacher but, otherwise, they're considered normal feelings. Many fathers would just be relieved to find out their son isn't gay. Even most liberal parents don't want their son to be gay though they might tell you otherwise. It's kind of like the hypocritical anti-gun leftists who only think it should apply to everyone but themselves and their bodyguards. I'm not saying it's right or wrong. It just is. A normal, 13 year old heterosexual male trying to get laid isn't considered taboo. It's considered normal. How many of us men can honestly raise their hand and say they didn't want a chance to nail every teacher they had that was within reason when their hormones kicked in? To a 13 year old, any woman under 80 years old and 400 pounds is within reason. But at 13, a teenage boy is not likely to have come to accept any homosexual feelings he may have nor has it become acceptable for that type of relationship that NAMBLA is trying to make legal, much less a teacher and a student. Just my 2 cents.

10 Slug, you're 2 cents is worth a million. And it makes all the sense in the world.

12 Pamela Joan Rogers 26. February.2006 Pamela Joan Rogers has now completed her jail time. In the 198 days she was in the Warren County Jail, I was able to befriend her and find out that she is a very sweet nice kindhearted person. This is exactly what people that know her have said about her from the beginning of this ordeal. I have studied the case for hundreds of hours and know that she is not guilty of anything. Ms Rogers was just too trusting and she let herself get involved in a sting. I have talked with her parents, I have talked with the young man’s family, I have talked with teachers at Warren County High School were the young man is now a student, I have talked with teachers at Centertown School, and talked with people in general around Warren County and have figured out who was involved in the sting. I have received information that the young man has told several different people that there is nothing to this case. There is no question “Pamela Rogers is not guilty of anything”. Her plea was nodo contendere, which means that she said not guilty. Even the DA said it was no admitting of guilty. The boy’s mother told me the last thing that Pamela told her when this mess started was that she would not do anything to hurt her son. So she went to jail to keep the boy from having to testify at a trial. The mother told me that Pamela did not do anything to be humiliated like she has been. She also told me her family had been treated like criminals and that the case had been handled very poorly. Remember we are talking about people that were very close friends although the District Attorney has forced them to stop talking now. One member of the boy’s family told me that Pamela was like a sister or daughter and before this mess came up they all adored her. My analysis of the case is that the ex-husband was very close friends with a few people that were very close to the investigator for the District Attorney and the District Attorney himself and this group of men and one woman decided to sting Pamela Rogers because of the nasty divorce between her and her husband. Also the mother told me that the woman involved in the string most likely was Pamela’s ex-husband lover. There was also an earlier major problem between the boy’s family and several of the people involved in the sting according to the boy’s mother, which reinforces ideas of a sting. So one can draw the conclusion that the sting was not only directed at Ms Rogers, but also at the boy’s family and it all was for the purpose of humiliation and belittlement. An analyzation of the films made of the District Attorney more than shows that he was getting a very big high out of talking on National TV shows about this beautiful lady performing sexual related acts on this 13 year old boy. His performance on films made at the trial verifies this conclusion. With the closeness of the investigator for the District Attorney and the District Attorney to this group of people, one could most reasonably conclude that they all knew about what was to happen back in October 2004, when the ex-husband was trying to get Pamela connected with this boy. What the Pamela Joan Rogers case reduced to is that there was a group of men and one woman in McMinnville Tennessee that got the District Attorney to humiliate these two families and Ms Rogers had to take the “no contest” plea to keep these friends of the District Attorney from putting her in prison for many years. This is just another example of the pit falls in our legal system and shows why we have the right to expect the people that enforce our laws to be of the highest moral and ethical character.

13 So, Dan, Pamela went to jail to avoid the boy having to testify in a sting operation conducted by her husband, her husband's lover, an investigator for the DA, the DA, and the boy. And the primary purpose was to humiliate two families? That's some conspiracy.

Posted by: Mike at February 28, 2006 03:38 PM (7JhpN)

14 No. Mike, the boy did not have anything to do with it. His family was also the Objective of the sting.

15 Hey everbody, do you all like apples? I'm a male model, live in East Tennessee, not far from where Pam lives, 'bout 2 hours away. I've been writing her letters for the duration of her short prison sentance. Gotten to know her pretty good. Is she guilty as charged? Well, I never really gave a red rats ass, hey she's beautiful, intelligent and single. Thats all the reason I need to ask her out on a date. And she's actualy considering my offer. All the media and legal hype about her is just background noise to me. I don't know what the big fuss was all about she's just a woman for crying out loud. Everyone acts as tho' she fell from outer space. Whats up with that.Why was this thing with her case so blown out of proportion and hyped up way outta' control? Our society is so hungry for a new slant of sex gossip that they will trample all over themselves to get to it. Pathetic. I'm not concerned with trusting her.....I worry about you people, you know, the giant collective pervert known as the general public. If the American general public were one person, I wouldn't trust him alone with a one-eyed-purple-people-eater in a pink-polka-dot-bikini. So excuse the hell out of me if I see this woman in a nuetral light free from all the crazy opinions and charges railed against her. The bottom line is......I've gotten to know her pretty close, and she's about as respectful, kind, sincere and normal a woman as I've ever met. Beleive me, I've dated enough wacko women and sex crazed nut-bags to know one when I see one. Pam ain't it. So all you out there in hype land who thought they had a sleezy story to masterbate over.... Read it and weep. Looks like you'll have to turn your prurient attentions elswhere. Pam is now free, free to go and free from all you. How do you like them apples?

16 Oh and for the record.....Dan is 100% correct.

Posted by: Brian at April 04, 2006 08:02 PM (fkaXX)

17 By the way Dan.....why you ignoring my Emails bro?Either that or you have one heck of a sensitive spam filter. I just wanted to ask if Pam is under some code of silence right now I haven't heard from her or her family and they don't return my calls anymore....everything ok? I realize she can't talk about her case but....she can still go out on a dates and see new friends right? Is there some personal restrictions being placed on her I wasn't informed of by her? Is she and her family paranoid? They never avoided me before. Man I haven't heard a peep out of her since her release and trust me....we are close. I became her new best friend, now for no apparent reason my attempts to contact her get no response. That ain't like her....at all....she'd never treat anyone like that, most of all me....so who is putting her up to this? Is she ok? You obviously are allowed contact with her presently....how's she holding up?

20 I would like to know how I could send this lady a letter with my condolances and an invitation to be with a guy her own age and give her a third chance at life. Anyone know how I could possibly get this done?

Posted by: Steve at May 02, 2006 04:06 PM (wZLWV)

21 All I gotta say is that this kid is lucky as hell! Have you seen the video of her dancin? I mean, c'mon! She's fine as heck, especially for a 30 year old. She was "Miss Nitro" too. I would not be traumatized by an "experience" with her, I guarantee that. Man... she can dance like a stripper. Wish she were my teacher...
