while this is depraved behaviour, this is NOT criminal.

UPDATE: High school teacher Brittni Colleps has been found guilty of having sex with five of her students. Colleps was convicted on 16 counts of improper relationship between an educator and student. The jury took less than an hour to reach their verdict. She could face up to 20 years in prison.

High school teacher Brittni Colleps was accused of having affairs with five of her students.

Colleps, a 27-year-old married mother of three, was accused of using text messages to pursue five 18-year-old students. There was a video shown in court that allegedly shows Colleps having group sex with four of the young men in her home.

Colleps' husband, who is in the military, was stationed out of state during the time of the alleged affairs. He says he is standing by his wife. If convicted, Colleps could face 20 years in prison.

    I understand that, technically, the boys were 18 and therefore legally adults, however, the teacher violated the authority relationship that exists between them. I don't know what her contract states but mine has a "morality" clause in it, if you will. While I don't know if that constitutes criminal proceedings I would say that teachers have extra duties and responsibilities that go along with the job, including not violating a student.
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    while her behavior is definitely depraved
    it should not be illegal
    lose her job? absolutely
    but not her freedom
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    pretty sure she knew getting gangbanged by her students could get her in trouble. That was probably part of the thrill of it for her. ....if she didn't know that she shouldn't have been teaching anyone.
    Hope it was worth it.

    This is a pathetic display of behaviour by the teacher and I do not condone it at all. Obviously she should lose her job and she should be filled with shame. But I guarantee the boys never brought charges towards her. I'm pretty sure they were high-fiving leaving 'the den'.

    odds are this isnt her first GB - he probably likes to watch -- they are probably into some weird shit -- which is all good but you can't fuck your students. she just had to wait a few months for them to graduate

    It is a crime to take advantage of a position of power such as a teacher. This is what folks didn't get about the Clinton-Lewinsky thing. It is criminal to do stuff like from a position of powert regardless of either party's intent.

    Now, you can argue we should change those laws. But, you should study the can of worms before you open it.

    How do you know he wasn't "watching?"

    As someone said above - you don't stand by this if you weren't condoning it. And the only plausible reason is that there is some reciprocation of enjoyment somehow.

    To each his/her own, but this is criminal because of her position (forgive the pun).

    I feel for her children more than anything...how do you explain this to them? That part is even more fucked up than her actions. If she could be so stupid and careless with herself and her students, it makes me wonder what other breaches in life she has committed.

    Any way you roll it, I guess "Brittni" will be taking on a whole new line of work.

    but it's not criminal under the law. and we know he wasn't watching because he was out of town while the alleged bang happened.

    it's a crime if the "victim" is not legally an adult. it can be sexual harassment, or maybe sexual misconduct, but not jail time, especially not up to 20 years. that's just a waste of the taxpayer's money. they are using a law that is meant for underage students, not students who are adults. it's abuse of the legal system.

    I tend to agree with this. I don't think the young men are scarred from this encounter. This is an employment issue and a professionalism issue. She needs to lose her job. She needs to lose her license. The law needs to focus on other things- surely there are more criminal things that need attention than this case of perversion?

    Don't take everything so literal. If there's video for the courtroom, might there be video for someone else?

    So, we're saying some laws are more important than others? Why is it one or the other?

    Anyway, I do agree that jail time seems a bit silly in this case, and as mookie said above - if she gets a decent lawyer, she won't be doing jail time.

    For my people, consenting adult sex has only been legal for about 12 years and the GOP lost their shit.

    However... If having sex with 5 18 year-old men is a crime, I would be on death row.
