She's 26. He's 13. She taught at the Lexington Middle School. He was a student at the Lexington Middle School.
He was an illegal alien from Mexico. She took him down to Mexico to have sex with him. She pleaded guilty to federal charges which allowed for a plea deal.
The plea agreement calls for a sentence of at least 70 months in prison, up to a maximum of 87 months. The judge could decide on a different sentence, but that would give Peterson the right to change her plea, said federal prosecutor Jan Sharp. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for September.
The pervert teacher's family was none too happy with the verdict, and burst out of the courtroom afterwards, screaming at reporters some stupid rationalization that the boy was really sixteen years old.
Earth to idiot family: sixteen is still a minor in this country, and she was then a gub'mint school employee entrusted to be professional & responsible toward all the students!
The guilty plea doesn't mean Peterson is off the hook on state charges, which include kidnapping and first-degree sexual assault. Her lawyer said he hoped those charges would be dropped.
But Dawson County Attorney Elizabeth Waterman said today there were no plans to drop the state charges.
Me thinks there is something terrible wrong with gub'mint schools & the people they hire.
