Paragons of Virtue Arrested

It's time to name and shame the self-proclaimed paragons of virtue. Keep it civil, though.

Stories are about those who have been placed in positions of trust, and then abused that trust.

Feel free to add stories of the self-righteous from other walks of life.

New rule: With regard to stories of particularly, but not only, female teachers sexually assaulting students. Any comments similar to "where were they when I was in school" will earn you the right to find another forum.

Yes, it's the NY Post, but they had the best headline of multiple sources. Also, anybody who makes the remark, "where were they when I was in school" will be seen for the last time.

A Missouri teacher has been charged with statutory rape for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student while other students served as “lookouts” — with the boy’s father also facing a felony charge for condoning the disturbing relationship.

Laquey High School math teacher Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested in Garden Ridge, Texas, on Friday after she “was suspected of fleeing the State of Missouri” to avoid arrest warrants, according to law enforcement.

The point is that a true pedophile is worse than what this lady did and the term shouldnt be diluted. A teacher getting sexually involved with 16 year old is bad, but not nearly as bad as if this kid was 8.

There are already people that will minimize what happened to this kid and say it's not that bad. We shouldn't associate what happened here with pedophilia - which is so, so much worse - because people that don't understand the distinction may minimize it and not realize the awfulness of true pedophilia accusations.
