The prosecutor is happy with the plea, saying "We didn't have a statement from her. We could go to trial, and it could be a he-said, she-said type of situation."

Evidently someone tipped off police about the relationship. Buck was an employee of the Rockingham County Schools System since August 2010, and resigned on Jan 18.

I have NO IDEA if this is the same Whitney Buck who wrote the blog stayathomemommyblogger

And check this out: There is a social studies teacher at Morehead High School named Tommy Buck. And the Whitney Buck that wrote the blog above, is married to a guy named Tommy. Some coincidence, right? OK, I might be able to put 2 and 2 together. Is it possible that Tommy and Whitney worked together at the high school, and she was banging a student, right under his nose? I can't comprehend that, I feel so sorry for Tommy and those 2 kids, I do not know what to say. Speechless!

Update Feb 7 2012: A grand jury handed down an indictment yesterday.

Update July 28 2012: Guilty. 30 days in jail.

Wow, she does not look so good in the mugshot photo.

Melissa Mathis, 37, English teacher, Ripley High School, Ripley MS

Melissa Mathis teacher was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual battery by a person of authority. Someone made a complaint to school officials, who contacted police. The police investigation found evidence that she had sex with, and had been sexting pictures to a student. The student admitted everything to police. Two incidents happened within a week of each other. Everything above is alleged, sorry I forgot to say that.

Interesting fact I've never seen posted before in other cases: This cougar is listed as 5’8” and 145 lbs. According to this BMI calculator, that puts her BMI at 22, and her weight in the 21st percentile for her age and height. So 79% of women her age are fatter - not bad at all, I wish I could find some better pictures of her.

Update Jan 27 2012: Melissa Mathis waived an indictment and has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual battery. She was sentenced to one year house arrest and five years post release supervision. Damn they do things quickly there in Mississippi! I have never heard of a case settled so quickly! Some go on for 2 or 3 years...

Marie Johnson, 40, Math teacher, Granada High School, Livermore CA

Marie Johnson has been arrested and charged with 24 counts that range from sexual intercourse with a minor, lewd acts with a minor, and oral copulation, according to police. A student went to the school administration and claimed he had a sexual relationship with her from Dec 2010 to May 2011, when he was 14 years old. They met through social media, which of course led to car sex.

Of course many students came to "Miss J"s defense, and said what a great person and teacher she was. Other were more rude. One senior at the school felt bad for Johnson's son, who attends Granada High.

Marie Johnson is married with 2 children and worked at the school for 13 years. She is currently in jail and on paid administrative leave.

Coincidentally, Livermore is also the hometown of 43 year old "Hummer Mom" Christine Shreeve Hubbs, who was charge with 67 counts of sexual assault in Aug 2010.

Update Jan 21 2012:  Happy 41st Birthday Marie !!!  According to police, she admitted to the crimes.

Alexandra Elizabeth McLean, 27, Drama teacher, Englewood High School, Englewood CO

Alexandra McLean has been arrested for an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student. They met during the production of a high school play. Sometimes she would drive him home from rehearsals. You know where this is going, right? Yup, they started screwing.

Alexandra got caught because the kid could not keep his mouth shut (of course). Somebody's older sister heard the story and called the cops. The kid admitted what happened to the cops, and they found all kinds of explicit text messages between the odd couple. According to the arrest affidavit, the 17-year-old boy told several friends about the sexual relationship, texting one teen, "Soo much sex!!"

All of the above is alleged, nothing proven.

Heres an article from the Denver Post, announcing Englewood High's new theater teacher.

Christina Layser, 37, 6th grade math teacher, Reynolds Middle School, Lancaster PA

Christina Layser was charged with one count of Unlawful Contact with Minor, one count of Corruption of Minors, and three counts of Indecent Assault. A 13 year old student reported inappropriate conduct that had been occurring between him and a 36-year-old female teacher, to the School Resource Officer. Police investigated and found incidents occurring in the teacher's classroom between Oct 2011 and Dec 2011. The boy claims that Layser initiated the contact, and that she kissed him on the lips and mouth and touched his genitals and "did cause him to touch her genitals."

Obviously the police don't always release all the details of every case, but I wonder if this is a case of "he said she said".  Lots of cases involve things like phone calls, text messages, things can can be tracked, but I don't know about this case...
