Teacher Smackdown

In Tennessee, Gallatin High School teacher Holly Hatcher, 25, was charged with statutory rape by an authority figure. She is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old male student at her home in Nashville.

Hatcher admitted having sex with the teenager on six occasions in the last two months. Police said the teenager drove to her home for the sexual encounters. One time, Hatcher and the student went to the Nashville Zoo, and returned to Hatcher’s home for some “hot monkey love.” (Sorry, I couldn’t help the zoo reference.)

Another time the student told his parents that he was at work, but he was with Hatcher. Another time the boy told police he and Hatcher carved pumpkins and then they had sex.

In Huntsville, Alabama, Lee High School assistant principal Cleavon Eason, 36, was arrested and charged with with sodomy in the first degree and sexual assault in the first degree.

All is known currently is that the victim, a 16-year-old male student at the high school, brought forth the allegations. Investigations questioned Eason after the boy’s parents filed a complaint with police. After questioning, investigators immediately arrested Eason.

In Alabama, Rehobeth Middle School teacher Andrew Martin, 47, was arrested for possession of a concealed firearm without a permit for having a gun in his car.

Martin didn’t plan to shoot up the school. Instead, he was just stupid enough to leave his loaded weapon in his unlocked car for anyone passing by - including students - to take. (A school resource officer spotted the weapon through an open window in Martin’s vehicle.)

Doh!

If found guilty, Martin could get six months in jail and a $500 fine. He’s already been suspended for three days without pay from his job.

If I was the judge, I’d sentence him to community service, a $500 fine, and 24 hours of listening to Johnny Cash’s “Don’t Take Your Guns to Town.”

In Alabama, Leroy High School teacher Charlene Schmitz, 54, was arrested and charged with second degree rape and second degree sodomy of one of her 14-year-old male students.

The sheriff’s department was contacted by the boy’s parent who discovered sexually explicit e-mails sent by Schmitz on the child’s computer. The student’s and Schmitz’s computers and cell phones were confiscated by deputies as evidence.

Not only is the 40-year age difference shocking, but Schmitz has two children around the same age as her victim. Frankly, I’m a bit grossed out over the whole thing.

In Alabama, Victor LaBaron Payne, 36, was convicted on charges of second-degree rape, sexual abuse and enticing a minor for immoral purposes last month. However, new charges filed by a second victim include rape in the first and second degrees, sexual abuse in the first and second degrees, and enticement of a child for immoral purposes.

Payne already faces up to 31 years on the first case. Now he’s looking at life in prison if he’s convicted in the second one. Not only that, but there is a third case pending against the former Escambia County Middle School teacher and coach.
