FRIENDSWOOD — Police arrested a private school teacher Thursday on charges that she had sex with a 17-year-old student along a deserted road in December.

Jill Lewis, 26, of Dickinson, is being held in the Galveston County Jail on a $30,000 bond after she turned herself into investigators Thursday, police said.

Lewis is a journalism, speech and computer teacher at Living Stones Christian School in Alvin, the school’s Web site said.

No one answered the phone at the school’s office late Thursday and efforts to reach the school’s principal for comment were unsuccessful.

Friendswood Police Chief Bob Wieners said the school is aware of the charges.

An anonymous tipster called CrimeStoppers and told about Lewis and the student, Wieners said.

Police allege during the second week of December, Lewis and one of her male students met in Friendswood and had sex off a dead-end road, Wieners said. That’s the only occurrence police know of, he said.

Note from Gag:
Sex on a deserted road? This begs a question; were they doing it right on the pavement (ouch!) or did this happen in some sort of hot teacher sex-mobile? Also, I wonder if the charges would be more serious if the road wasn't deserted. Hmm...

Boy in Teacher-Sex Case Back in Neb.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 14-year-old illegal immigrant who fled to Mexico with his former teacher has reunited with his family in Nebraska, his lawyer said Thursday.

Amy Peck said her client arrived Wednesday after the Department of Homeland Security gave him humanitarian parole, a seldom-granted measure that lets people into the country temporarily.

The boy, who was born in Mexico, left Lexington with his former teacher, 25-year-old Kelsey Peterson. Peterson is accused of having sex with him and is in custody facing federal and state charges.

Boy, I'll bet this kid is so happy to be back in the states. I predict he'll go straight to work as a day laborer in some cornfield.

Introduction

Since July of 2004 I've been following the Debra Lafave case at my Yahoo news group, Debra Lafave - Hot For Teacher.

Believe or not, at that time, the idea that a female teacher would sexually exploit a young student was still incredibly new to the general public. Now, it's become so common that almost every week a new, scandalous case reveals itself to the world.

It happens so often now that I've begun to wonder if many of these female teachers engaged in this illicit activity do it because they want to be caught. Almost as if they would risk anything for their desire to get attention, akin to a sort of Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome. Perhaps, in a sexual abuse case involving a teacher, it should be called Munchkin by Proxy instead.

In any event, these kind of cases fascinate me. In some, the teachers are obviously contemptible human beings. For example, those that have been caught having sex with special education students or those involved with pre-pubescent children.

More often, however, these student/teacher relationships seem to arise out of genuine feelings like a crush that is reciprocated. Sometimes, in those affairs, the question of who's using who isn't quite so clear.

Of course, the adult must always take the blame when boundaries are crossed but I can see where it would be awfully hard to resist the persistent attention of a good looking young man if your self esteem was low. Especially, if you learned early in life, as Debra Lafave clearly had, that getting and giving sexual attention can be very rewarding.

Anyway, the purpose of this blog is to continue to document the phenomenon of female teachers having sexual relationships with their students and the resulting outcomes of their behavior.

I look forward to seeing what the readers of this blog have to say about the individual stories presented here.
