Florida Teacher Says, "Oh, THAT Student I Molested In 1983... He Was 16, It Was Okay"

Sorry, Wanda Smith of Orlando, Florida, it turns out the kid was only 11... and the fact that you videotaped him while you two had sex isn't going to help your case, either...

Here's the Cliff's Notes version of the Orlando Sentinel story about Smith's arrest:

In 2005, Smith's stepson discovered a decades-old video depicting Wanda's sexual battery of a boy who may or may not have been underage. Smith and her ex-husband would not fully cooperate with the police, claiming it was an undetermined male they had once employed, and so the investigation stalled.

It would have remained unresolved if not for a chance encounter-- a woman dropping her son off at school realized Smith was still teaching there. Having been told of the sexual abuse by the now-grown man, who had been her ex-boyfriend, the unidentified mom ratted Smith out to the cops, who interviewed the alleged victim and learned that the boy had indeed been videotaped by Smith while the two had sex. He had been in sixth grade detention when the assaults began. According to the poor guy, Smith molested him for years afterward.

Smith denies these allegations, stating that the boy was at least sixteen at the time. However, that didn't stop the 57-year-old from retiring immediately after the school launched an investigation into her alleged lifestyle...

Girl, Molested By Teacher And Guidance Counselor, Is Kicked Out Of School

Here's a case you don't see every day: a guidance counselor is convicted of molesting a teenage student and, a year later, the girl's history teacher is charged with the same crime. The next thing you know, the girl, who was 15 at the time of these assaults, is being kicked out of school...

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, this high school student is no saint:

During a Sept. 18 bail hearing for Fanjul, prosecutors acknowledged the girl was "sexually posturing" with a third teacher. While arguing to reduce Fanjul's bail, defense attorney Kenneth Brown pointed to that allegation and the girl's subsequent departure from the school.
An administrator reportedly said, "I hope that she never comes back because she is a predator," Brown told 3rd District Judge Ann Boyden.

Luckily for all involved, the third teacher reported the come-on to the proper authorities, who immediately removed the troubled child. The question the judge has to weigh now, of course, is to what degree does the girl's seduction techniques weigh in on the charges, if any? Of course, the law doesn't give a rat's turd about how the incident occurred (unless, of course, the girl raped the teachers or something similar), it's going to punish these fools for a long time. (The guidance counselor was sentence to three terms of up to 15 years each.)

Here's something else to keep in mind in our People's Court out here: Jose Fanjul, who protests his innocence, is also accused of sending a text to another student asking if he can be her boyfriend. This guy doesn't sound like he was helpless to the teenage girl's charms... again, not that it matters. What do you think?

Teacher Accused of Molesting Student at Disney World Found Dead

Emily Farris — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 17:06:00 GMT

Our Mom always said if anyone ever hurt us, like truly hurt us (along the lines of rape), she'd shoot him. We don't know if that was the best message to send to her children, but a mother's love knows no bounds, right?

Well, we're absolutely not saying that a parent had anything to do with this, but a teacher accused to molesting a student at Disney World was found dead with a gunshot wound in his head.

Of course, he may have also killed himself after being accused, or there could be a whole new twist to the story we've yet to learn.

For now, the story seems pretty straight forward:

A former Charlotte County teacher accused of molesting two students was found dead in his Port Charlotte home.

The Sheriff's Office says 46-year-old Dale Bowe was found dead yesterday with a gunshot wound to the head. They are still investigating if this was a suicide.

Bowe was the band director at Port Charlotte High School. In January he was arrested for sexually molesting a student at his home. He was arrested again in March for sexually abusing another student during a field trip to Disney World. He resigned amid those allegations.

Former students and family friends are defending Bowe in the news story's comments, but we're interested to see how it unfolds.

Moral of the story: keep your hands off the kids.

Caught on Tape: Seal Molesting a Penguin

Emily Farris — Tue, 13 May 2008 16:42:00 GMT

We should probably first make it clear that we're talking about a seal, not Seal the singer.

A young male Antarctic fur seal was caught on tape trying unsuccessfully to have sex with a king penguin for at least 45 minutes. While it may not seem so strange at first, it is considering that as far as scientists are aware, this is the first known example of a sexual escapade between a mammal and another kind of vertebrate, like a bird.

"At first we thought it was hunting the penguin, but then it became clear that his intentions were rather more amorous," [researcher Nico de Bruyn, a mammal ecologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa] recalled today via email.

The roughly 240-pound seal subdued the 30-pound adult penguin by lying on it. The hapless bird of unknown sex struggled, rapidly flapping its flippers and attempting to stand and flee, without luck.

The seal then alternated between resting on the penguin and thrusting its pelvis at the bird in vain attempts to insert its penis for 45 minutes. Natural, unsuccessful sexual escapades by this variety of seal with members of its own species may last as long as this penguin assault did, "but yes, it is quite a long time and thus unusual," de Bruyn told LiveScience.

The seal then abruptly gave up, moving to sea and completely ignoring the target of its affections. The penguin apparently did not suffer any injury.

We're glad the little guy was okay and we hope he has a good support system to help him deal with this traumatic experience. If anyone has seen the seal, who is 240 pounds with brown fur and long whiskers, please report him to your local precinct. Do not attempt to restrain him yourself; he is very dangerous.
