Florida Teacher Has Sex with Students – Uses MySpace to Communicate
As if I didn’t have enough logs for the know-what-your-kids-are-doing-online fire and my anti MySpace rants… A teacher in Polk County Florida not only had sex with a few students, but then chatted them up on MySpace like it w’ain’t no thang.
Are you effing me? So clearly this teacher also don’t realize that everyone can see anything you say online. Aside from the having sex with students. And for those that may find this hot (since it was a female teacher and male students)… uhh… lookee here.
Yet another reason to be using PC Pandora monitoring software and watching whom your kids are talking to online and what they are doing.
Polk Teacher Accused Of Sexual Misconduct
WESH TV, June 6, 2008
Investigators in Polk County arrested a school teacher on Thursday on charges of sexual misconduct.
Danielle Jones, 32, of Auburndale, who teaches sixth grade at Stambaugh Middle School, is accused of having sexual relations with four different boys between 14 and 16 years old.
Officials said the teacher communicated with the boys via MySpace and telephone and drove them to her home in Winter Haven and had sex with them.
Liliana Velazquez, Jones’ neighbor, said Jones is one of her son’s MySpace friends.
“He said she never told him anything like that,” Velazquez said.
“Teachers have an ethical and moral obligation to protect our youth, not prey upon them. We urge parents to come forward and report any suspicious activity between their children and this woman. There may be more victims out there,” Sheriff Grady Judd said.
“I’m pretty upset about it because I thought she was better than that,” Jones’ former student, Kevin Pulone, said.
“Our desire is to see Danielle Jones in prison for a very long time,” Judd said.
Jones was booked into the Polk County Jail and charged with two counts each of unlawful sexual activity with minors and lewd and lascivious battery.
She has been put on paid administrative leave from teaching…

“Sometimes the students would spend the night where there would be multiple sex crimes that were taking place,” assistant state attorney Mark Levine said.
The Stambaugh Middle School principal wrote Jones a letter of concern in January regarding her outward displays of affection toward male students and flirtatious behavior.
Jones is charged with two counts each of unlawful sexual activity with minors and lewd and lascivious battery.
Jones’ bail was set at $200,000 with several restrictions. If Jones posts bail, she is banned from using MySpace and cell phones. Police said Jones used MySpace to communicate with her victims.
The judge also ordered that Jones not have any contact with the victims or the victims’ family.
