Teacher Admits To Sex With Her Student - Accuses Mother Of Cashing In


<snip>

A 16-year-old who videotaped himself having sex with his 31-year-old teacher and looked at photos of her naked is not a victim, the married mother of two says.

Amber S. Jennings, 32, who admitted this week that she e-mailed photos of herself naked to her former student, also criticized the boy's mother who reportedly said she wants to cash in on the incident with a civil suit.

``It is just unfortunate that she would go so far as to ruin her son's life in order to profit,'' Jennings told the Worcester Telegram and Gazette this week.

Jennings pleaded guilty this week to disseminating harmful materials to a minor and was sentenced to two years probation.

Jennings told the paper she's writing a book about the case.

Jennings met the boy while teaching English at Shepherd Hill Regional High School in Dudley.

Authorities say they started out as friends but things heated up in late 2003 when the boy was 16.

The two started having sex, videotaping their romps and e-mailing naked photos and messages to each other, according to court documents. The boy told authorities the sex was consensual.

``It was just an idea I had to tape it,'' the boy told authorities, according to court documents.

Jennings admitted this week that she e-mailed naked photos of herself to the boy.

The affair lasted until July 2004, when the victim's mom asked him about an online chat with Jennings.

<snip>

Under the new agreement, Jennings pledged to stay away from the victim and surrender her license to teach public school in Massachusetts. She must undergo evaluations and treatment as a sex offender.

She is not required to register as a sex offender.

23. Most of the recent perv teacher cases of late have involved hotties.
It doesn't matter how gorgeous they are--these are sick women and they have no right at all being allowing within a mile of a classroom. A rubber room is more what they need. If any teacher tried anything like this with my kid, I'd wanna beat the crap out of them. If I ever tried this with any of my students, I'd beat the crap out of myself.

This goes against everything a teacher should be. Being an instructor is a trusted, nurturing job. Teaching should never have any sexuality involved ever. Last month when I was teaching myself CSS programming for my website, I even refused to masterbate.

3. So waitaminute...
She accuses the mother of "wanting to cash in" on the incident, yet she herself is writing a book? :eyes: It's the American Way!

I am holding out for the made-for-TV movie myself. :eyes:

32. That jumped out at me too. Talk about "cashing in."
I don't know about a movie of the week, though. Hasn't that been done...and done...and done...?

25. No WAY! Here's a side by side
(1) (2)

(1) Sleek, brunette, glasses, a real "wrapped tight" librarian type vs (2) "a pretty girly-girl" blonde, probably high maintenance. Of these two, the brunette is clearly the more healthy and well adjusted sicko pervert needing to be locked away for years of mandatory therapy.

Remember, blondes don't have more fun; they only have more issues. It's probaly also worth noting that both woman have apparently hired identical twins for their legal defense teams. What's that tell ya?

34. I'd say Ms. Jennings looks blonde rather than brunette.
Dirty dishwater blonde with blonde highlights.

(Blondes have more issues?)

6. that teacher must be nuts to consent to video taping sex romps
and to e-mailing naked pictures of herself to a 16-year old! Doesn't she know that a 16 year old guy would probably be having all of his friends looking at all of this? she sure didn't try to cover her tracks.

8. These women are just sick
I know we're all joking about this stuff, and I'm not going to rain on any parades here.

But are there really no other people to have sex with than underage boys?

Why can't they find an 18 year old to videotape 'romps' with?

Sheesh

:rant: sorry guys.

33. Maybe, she doesn't want to deal with adult men
She probably wanted someone to look up to her, not be an equal. A sixteen year old boy would be perfect for that requirement especially since she was a teacher at his school.
Regardless of the impact on the individual victims of these cases, these cases should not be taken lightly. If little or no punishment is given to these adult high school teachers, then adults interested in having sex with teenagers would be attracted to the teaching career for that purpose. Do we really want teenagers being seduced by teachers as a regular part of going to high school?

10. I gotta admit thats the first thing I thought too
But I also get the point the person said above, that these kids are probably too young to deal with this.

I think I would have found a way though. :D

15. Well, all these female teachers "doing it" with students at least....
makes it better for men who work with children. Or so one would hope. A man can't get near a kid these days without being accused of something. And that is truly a terrible thing.

What the hell is the deal with these women? There are dozens (at least) of men (not boys) who would love to have a relationship with her, and she has to go THERE!

If a male teacher preyed on a female student, would you consider her "lucky"?

44. We're talking about an adult authority figure and a kid.
He may have been willing, but that does not preclude manipulation, and she's still a predator. Any adult, particularly one in a position of authority, who goes after a kid is a predator.

41. I'm not sure if it is necessarily completely different
Edited on Thu Sep-29-05 06:50 PM by Nikia
I'm not a guy so perhaps I don't know. I do know that of my friends and aquaintances, the people most devestated after a break up for a considerable length of time (more than a couple weeks) have been guys. They were guys that were still devestated even if they could or even were having casual sex.
I don't think that most attractive popular teachers need to do much manipulation with either sex. Children are brain washed into being eager to please their teachers. Yes, some rebel as teenagers and hate teachers but young popular teachers generally are still liked and students will want their attention. Before they even try to seduce the student, they are at least 80% of the way there compared to a casual adult aquaintance. Teachers who take advantage of students know this.

49. The facts ARE the facts.
And the fact is that teachers are trusted in their positions not to take advantage of students regardless of gender. I have known several males whose interest was not purely sexual and it horrifies me that you would pidgeonhole the gender in such a way; "All a teenaged boy wants is sex and more sex". I don't need to insult anyone, that statement alone insults the person who issued it.

99.9% of teenaged boys want sex and more sex.

40. What is with this long line of female teachers taking advantage of boys
Teachers who are all, as I've seen in the pictures, fucking hot. Hot hot hot. Sometimes, hotter than shit hot.

Kids today sure have it nice.

All I had were old women for teachers. I bet in my entire school career, I never had a teacher under 40, most were well into their 50s and 60s, except my second grade teacher, who was probably early 20s.

My school experience was the shits.

I want to go back to school, now that they have hotter teachers.

Damn lucky kids.

I wonder if I can get his email, and see if he'll send me any photos?

43. To every guy writing how they wished this had happened to them
when they were in high school - -

No, you don't.

Something would have told you that this situation wasn't right, that this person who was supposed to be your custodian and caretaker was treating you as a peer and a sexual partner. You'd be freaked out, but still believing you were expected to enjoy it. You'd be worried that her husband/boyfriend/etc. would catch you in the act, and beat the shit out of you. And you'd be anxious about your parents finding out.

I don't care how much of a high school horndog you thought you were. You may have fantasized about teacher, but you really wouldn't have wanted it to happen. This kid is going to be fucked up in later life.
