He's a real winner. 

Feel badly for the students, colleagues and community whose trust he betrayed. 

Students, colleagues, community....wife, children, family. So very sad. 

Just call him Paul Walker and no one would have an issue with it. 

Are those his real ears?

 

idiot. I hope she was worth it. now he can get a job at the carwash. 

Let me be a tad different. When are we going to start blaming the young lady too?

She had a part of all this too?. It makes me so upset when all the blame is put on one person.

She knew what she was doing, She is not as innocent as everyone is saying.

17 now going after married men.. Watch her in a few years. Daddy issues maybe???

Yes they are both at fault, enough is enough. Blame both of them... She was a little too fast and Lord knows what else has she done. 

You will grow up one day and see it different, young person.

When a person who is a position of power uses that power to take advantage of another, that is wrong. And when using that power involves exploiting them sexually, that is a crime.

I am an adult not a child. I really need to change that name.

I highly doubt those two did not know what they were doing. She is 17 not 5 for goodness sake.

Again I do not condone what they did, she is as much to blame as he.

I blame her a bit more because she needs to have self respect for herself. Her morals and values did not come into play here.

These young girls are not so close minded as you may think. They grow waaay to fast mentally, physically.

I blame her for not respecting herself. I blame her for getting involved with a much older man. She too needs to be punished. 

Let me be a tad different. When are we going to start blaming the young lady too?


I agree! It takes 2! She knew better, can't tell me it wasn't both that started this. Him being married he should of stopped it before it started, she being a human should of had better moral taught to her! 

Angiekaye - Thank you !!!!

Too often we want to blame the man.. Umm that young lady has just as much fault.

If she was taught to respect herself, Had dignity, Valued herself first and foremost. this would not of happened.

Again, I do blame him too. I think she gets away with no punishment as this man life is ruined.

She will grow up thinking she is untouchable and can get what she wants by using her body. It all starts at home, she should of been taught differently.

If that were my daughter I would of reemed her a new one. Made her a public display of embarrassment.. I DO NOT CARE. What she did was WRONG and so did he!!!. 

Ummm, hello, this is a grown man who is given the responsibility of teaching our children. When we drop our kids off at school each day, we should not have to worry about whether or not a teacher will have an inappropriate relationship with them. HE was the adult in this situation, and therefore should have acted like one, period! There is no excuse. He should lose his job and be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. If he felt so attracted to this girl that it got to the point of needing to act on it, then he should have removed himself from the situation. Get a transfer, GET HELP, whatever. If nothing else, he should have thought of the repercussions to his wife and children.

I will agree that she was shouldn't have participated in the affair but that is it. he was the adult in this, an adult that was in a position that any psychologist will tell you that put him in a natural place for a teenager to develop a crush on him.

It happens all the time but it is the adult's responsibility to put the brakes on it and to make sure no mixed messages regarding the possibility of anything but a student-teacher relationship can exist.

The minute he received any kind of flirtatious correspondence or interaction from her he should have gone to his administration and reported it and have his report documented. Instead, it sounds like he encouraged it.

If he can't deal with a teenage girl coming on to him, then had no business in the classroom. Good riddance. Her parents can deal with any improper behavior on her part, but we are talking about a 30 something year old man with a wife and children and versus a teenager here.

He was in a position of authority and trust and he violated it. 

I feel sorry for his wife and kids. Such an embarrassment to them and such a betrayal to his wife. 

I think it is a fair and reasonable expectation that the 17-year old, high school student be still developing a sense of propriety and sound judgment. I think it is also a fair and reasonable expectation that the 35-year old educator with 10 years of teaching experience, who is a married father of three, and a highly respected member of the community and his church have a developed sense of propriety and sound judgment.

She was absolutely wrong, and that makes for a teaching moment. He was absolutely wrong, and that makes for a crime. The law is on the books for situations precisely such as these. 

She knew better, can't tell me it wasn't both that started this. Him being married he should of stopped it before it started, she being a human should of had better moral taught to her!

She obviously has issues, but as the adult he should not have taken advantage of that fact.

a175094uu- this guy goes to Church? 

I feel sorry for his wife and kids


I agree DP. To me, that is the saddest part of this whole mess. 

I feel sorry for his wife and kids. Such an embarrassment to them and such a betrayal to his wife. 

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say this wasnt the first time. 

Yes, he does. 

It was his responsibility to not initiate things with this young woman. He was the one in a position of authority. It doesn't matter how old they are or which one is what gender. If one person is in a position of authority over another the responsibility to not get sexual is entirely on the person in authority. The fact that he is a married, church going family man means that he has even more responsibility to not get sexual with anyone but his wife. 

Oh, come on people, it's just a little innocent flirting.


They didn't mean it. Lol 

He has taken responsibility 

Well, after reading that, I have even less respect for him, if that is possible. He was leading her on and trying to further the relationship, giving her hope that there was more to the relationship and a future. He deserves what he got. 

What a loser. Gross. I feel bad for his wife and children. 

Gross at his age, he'd be interested in an "inappropriate" relationship with a 17 year old. 

I think people's emotions get them in lots of trouble.
It sounds like there was emotional attachment and not him just trying for something extra on the side. Who knows tho.


Expectations for proper behavior in a school environment are for the benefit of the minors involved. A 35 YO man should be able to back away from a teen ager. If he can't, time for another career. So sorry for his wife who has had her entire world turned upside down. There goes the trust... 

I hope he is given the same sentence as the female teacher who just was sentenced.

It should be the same between the genders shouldn't it?


Or are the boys who have affairs with female teachers not viewed the same 

Was the boy a minor? This young woman was 17 and therefore capable of consent. Minors are not legally capable of consent. The age should be determining factor, not the gender. 

If she was younger, he'd be forced to register as a sex offender and he would have been charged with a much different crime.

He's damn lucky she was 17.

Yes 

had sex with 15 year old and gets 1 year sentence  

She got one year in jail and one year probation. That is a minimal sentence.
Texas Law says penalty ranges from 2-20 years and up to $10,000 fine.  

He's damn lucky she was 17. 



I heard she just turned 17 when this story broke so she may not have been when it started. The husband and wife are going through a divorce and that started before the story broke. 

I don't believe he was lucky that she was 17. I believe he chose her BECAUSE she was 17. Although Texas law does not consider this statutory rape, this cowardly little excuse of a man took complete advantage of his position. We have no idea what her home situation was like and to place 50% of the blame on her is wrong. I'm just glad that he has been stopped for now. Really hope that his family doesn't leave him for the rest of the world to rehabilitate. They need to help him with this sickness. 

What's the source on this: The husband and wife are going through a divorce and that started before the story broke.

Last I heard, she was sticking by him as that was what Jesus would want her to do.

Anyone that stands by someone who commits adultery seems to lack a backbone of their own. Regardless of what any religion or culture says about the submissiveness of the wife, it would be a shame if this was the case.

What I find entirely entertaining is comparing the comments of others in the original thread to what is being said now. 

At the end of the day, there are two families here who have a LONG, hard difficult road to go down and need our love and support! 

The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. The Lord has spoken. In that day they will say, "Surely this is our God, we trusted in him, and he saved us. This is The Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."
Isaiah 25: 8-9
