1 Dude, none of my teachers ever looked anything like that. My teachers were all frumpy hausfraus who wore denim skirts and necklaces made out of wood.

2 Why should she be punished just because the parents don't want their teenage boys to have sex? As if it would hurt the hormone-crazy dimwits in any way... Pfft, just lowers their opinion of women, and that quickly bounces back if they watch TV.

3 Absolutely astounding. Using Judge Herrick's logic, does this mean that sexual assault charges with be brought against the students involved? After all, they did supposedly take advantage of a woman who at the time was incapable of consenting to the act.

4 Good point, Graeme.

5 Didya ever notice how the somewhat attractive female pedophiles get little jail time, or, in this case, is considered the VICTIM by this asshat judge and the, shall we say "aesthetically challenged" ones get 30 years?? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/11/15/national/main1043917.shtml

6 Obviously, either all you guys Pissing and Moaning about a 42 year year old broad who doesn't look half bad, jumping a teen ager's bones and getting 6 months for it, don't remember being a horny 15 year old wishing for something like that or you've turned into anal recluses . . . She did 'em a favor, helped herself out a little . . and got six months . . I think the judge might be just a little off to the left on this one . . . both on the sentence and his remarks . .

7 The judge was right in both cases screwing thar ulgy womay must have been terrible torture. This chick whey brag city she was young too so. let me see checking the age fo the boys here to see if they are you know that age. Uh oh 16 on Britain thats legal unless the ager for botys ther is higher. I've seen this with young techers before when I was a yonnd stutterer in grade school my speech teacher was gorgeous. Coach found her in playboy and she wa fired. no she never did me damn I was inn third grade bit no more stutter and I loved speech so. When I was in HS it was not unheard of for younnger hip yeachers to show at student "parties" upon occasion. wrong. So it looks like a by statute yep she's guilty but both were wrong and at a party so he's no angel either. I bit easy maybe. Got to figure she was not the only girl he was trying to poke. But not escuse she knew better but I won't shake if I see her coming down the street. So 1st offense clear record. Parents choice so and I'll so that's cool. I ight hve went 364 days + some watch time. The judge judged and at at least when I live it she screw up later I can voe to off him.

8 If my son had scored on a good looking teacher I would be a proud dad. I fact I'm pretty sure he did. But being a gentleman he won't discuss it. A proud dad.

9 Reading the comments of your viewers indicates to me an astounding lack of knowledge. As a polygraph examiner who specializes in sex offenders, I have examined thousands of pedophiles. Many of the offenders I have tested, when interviewed over their sexual histories, ultimately admit when they were 14 or 15 they had sex with an adult teacher or an adult girlfriend of their mother or another adult relative. The ones who admit to this usually have a lifetime of dysfunctional activity thereafter. Ms. Geisel crossed the line with four children and six months is an extremely light penalty for assaulting these boys. A male teacher who did this with four female students (at least here in Texas) would be doing some very serious penitentiary time and most probably a life sentence. These four boys did not "get lucky". They'll be all screwed up for years and probably end up in therapy as well.

10 John, you have pointed out an important issue, although you have it backwards. The way you state it, it would appear that the teenage sexual encounters are the cause of future sexual dysfunction. Now, did you consider that the kinds of boys that seek or are enthusiatic participants in this type of early sexual play may be already predisposed to all kinds of sexual involvement as they get older. What sort of sexual play were they into before the teacher came along? We all know that puberty brings on a lot of experimentation and these boys were 16 and 17 and not your innocent wall flower types either. On thing I have always wondered though, is how does a women rape a man? If a man is not into it or frightened, wouldn't his willie refuse to cooperate?

11 I beg to differ with John, the pedophile examiner. I encountered the same experience with a lovely, and much older woman, when I was just 16 years old. I am today neither a dysfunctional child molester or any type of pedophile, nor do I require "therapy". Please don't generalize! In fact, looking back, a few memories of those wild times spent with her are some of the most poignant and memorable which I can recall experiencing with anyone. My parents too, were quite upset upon finding out (principly my mother), and threatened to take care of the matter by turning her in. At his point, I let them know any such action would preclude my future relationship with them. They quickly decided to let it go. It ran it's course in about 3 years or so. The woman is long out of my life, my relationship with my parents is wonderful, and once in awhile when it's brought up, I still defend her, and we all realize we made the right decision. All in all, it was probably the best learning experience from my adolescence, and helped mold me into the sexually knowledgable and caring man that I became. I also have three teenage sons, and if they happened to encounter the same occurrence, I indeed would consider them fortunate or "lucky". Today's Dad
