The Debra Lafave violation report is a punny thing

So the judge ruled that Debra Lafave violated her probation, but added no punishment because it wasn’t willful or substantial.

I like it. Soloman-esque.

But the part I like most: According to the violation report, what she did is considered a “Violation of Condition 69“.

Must. not. make. sophomoric. pun…

Did Tampa teacher get sentenced to prison for sex with student because she’s a lesbian?

Let me start by saying that if you’re a teacher and you have sex with your 14 year old student, you should go to jail, and your time there should be VERY unpleasant.

So, a couple days ago, while Debra Lafave was getting a ton of (unwanted) attention for breaking the terms of her house arrest and probation for having sex with a 14 year old male student, another female Hillsborough County teacher was sentenced to 3 years in prison for having sex with a 14 year old female student.

Huh?

Let’s face it, everyone was saying at the time that if any male teacher did what Debra Lafave did, he’d be in prison. Now Jaymee Wallace gets arrested for the same crime, with her now 20 year old victim asking for leniency on her behalf, and she goes to prison.

I’ll go out on a limb and say no to that last question. He’d be in jail.

You can read the original report from when Jaymee Wallace was arrested at Smoking Gun. If the report is accurate, and apparently the court and Jaymee Wallace say it is, she deserves jail. Man, there was a lot of lesbian sex going on at Wharton High School.

They didn’t do that back when I went to school.

Um, yeah…

Debra Lafave arrested again; does not offer oral sex to cop in exchange for release

debra lafave mug shotWord is that Debra Lafave was arrested again. If you don’t recall, she was the teacher in Tampa that had an ongoing sexual relationship with a 14 yr old student.

One time, in an SUV that his 15 yr old cousin drove.

So, she received house arrest and probation, no more teaching, no more contact with anyone under 18. Hey, if it was guy having sex with a 14 yr old girl rather than an insanely (literally) hot young blond woman, he’d have done a little time in a cell with a guy that dressed him up like a kewpie doll.

But whatever. Double-standards abound for a reason, I suppose.

So, she gets arrested again. Oh my! What did she do? Fondle a football player? Kick-it with a cross-country runner? I know, she was digging on a dodgeballer, right?

Nope. She talked to a 17 yr old female coworker about sex.

If that’s an arrestable offense and I’m her, I cut my tongue out. How is anyone supposed to go through life without talking to a coworker?

Of course, I suppose one could argue that she shouldn’t have taken a job where minors might also be employed. I’m just saying.

Update:

Debra Lafave’s probation officer’s case notes can be downloaded here. One excerpt makes me wonder:

What’s redacted? The only time I would expect to see a redaction would be in cases where a minor would be identified, or a privacy issue related to a medical condition.

Hmmmm…
