Cop1: Has she performed oral sex on him?

Kyle: Yeah, I think so.

Cop1: Nice.

Cop2: Nice.

Cop3: Nice.

Detective: So, wait. What's the crime?

Cop: The crime is, she isn't doin' it with me!

Kyle: Hey! He's totally underage! She's taking advantage of him!

Detective: You're right, we're sorry. This is serious. We need to track this student down, and give him his Luckiest Boy in America medal right away.
Why did they mention Covenant Christian School??? When I first started reading the article, it made it look like she was a teacher there. I understand the call just involved CCS's parking lot - but, I'm sure I'm not the only one who thought that at first. Why didn't they just say police received a call to a Colbert parking lot???
The situation with this teacher was brought to the school's attention a couple of years ago. Her job was to be a teacher and teach...she took advantage of the situation and of the kids, which she had no right to do so. Teachers are suppose to be role models for our kids, someone they can look up too, not trying to "be" one of them. I know a lot of the kids that she has taught from the time she came to Sheffield and they are very upset that a teacher they loved did this. Not only the young boy and his family have a lot to deal with ahead, but her actions have hurt her family and friends.
um, she's charged with rape AND sodomy....I get the 'rape' (even consensual sex with a minor is still charged as rape)....but sodomy??? WTF? Wow, yikes that's rough...(oh, nevermind...surely they meant the oral kind)....and the police were responding to an alarm at the school?? C'mon, how many alarm calls do the cops get for Covenant Christian, really? Pure chance this teacher & student just 'happened' to be there "steaming up the windows in her car"? Anyone else think there might be a lot more to this story?

I can't say for sure if there is more to the story or not, but as for the answer to the question of how often does the alarm go off there? Well, in the mid 90s when I was a Police Officer there, it went off quiet a bit!

Ditto! But I guess that's something that the administration seems to be having a hard time answering. Actually, I don't believe they want to answer it because now they're saying they had no knowledge of the unusual attention she seemed to be giving some kids, in and out of school. I feel so bad for her young daughter and can't even begin to imagine what that child is thinking. So sad. Frowner
Pray for this family. The world of the husband and especially the daughter just got turned upside down and will be forever changed. I am especially sorry for the child as they just had to grow up quite a bit overnight.

I wonder if they will allow her to plea this down or if they will truly go for the felony charges against her?

We had a school alarm doing the same thing at one time. We traced it to hanging displays in one classroom. When the heat/AC came on, they bagan moving thereby tripping the motion sensor.

Plausable deniability. You'd be surprised at the number of things that 'officially' 'don't happen' at schools.
Hi, there teach, yeah, we do dislike teachers who sexually molest students. Just a hangup we have I guess.

So, Did Mr. or Mrs Watkins work for the TD. Mr. Watkins worked for WHNT? If the woman just freelanced, that means she sold articles. A lot of us have done that, but we aren't considered employees ( I mean ppl I work with, not me personally obviously, although I don't think my grammar is too much worse.)

I don't know who the heck you think you are. The teacher whose name you just mentioned has been retired for the past two or three years, is elderly, and the wife of a pastor. You obviously have her confused with someone else with a similar last name and that person is also a very nice person. The teacher involved in this has her name mentioned in several articles so I assume you posting the wrong name here is intentional.

I agree .My son said she has been hanging with 2 other boys a lot too .. The boy Mrs Watkins was with and these other 2 hang at her desk all the time...
What pisses me off as a parent of 2 Sheffield students that had her and has her this year is that she got reprimanded 2 years ago with messing with students..... WHY IS SHE STILL TEACHING??? If I were a sub... I WOULD NOT be there anymore... I ASSUMED school was a safe place ESPECIALLY around a teacher.. I USE to hold me head up high when I said my kids went to Sheffield..NOW I bow my head in shame... WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT??? I PROMISE you this, it sure won't surprise or shock me ...
You can bet if several students knew about her behavior with some of the male students then some of the teachers did as well and just turned their back on it. The same thing happened at Central with Greg Brewer molesting the seventh grade girl. Many students knew as well as some teachers. Any teacher who knew this was going on should also be held accountable and lose their job as well as be charged with some sort of crime for not reporting it.

I TOTALLY agree............... They allowed it to happen...
The school is not too far from where I live. I saw some comment, could have been a joke, by another boy that she had touched his - whatever word he used. Don't know if this was unsolicited or not.

I've already seen enough of tenure in Alabama to know why she didn't resign. We need to pay her some more money. More of my Sheffield tax money that we need to use to pave our streets.
She will get a slap on the wrist as most females do in north Alabama court. The race of the victim will have a lot to do with this. These things have been going on for years. At Colbert Heights in the 70's and 80's there was 2 teachers doing this one male and one female. The female retired not long ago, the male got cought but it was sweped under the rug due to race.

My daughter is a student at Sheffield and she was shocked but apparently a lot of her friends were not. I hate that this woman has blemished the image of the school, there are a lot of good teachers there and for the most part the teachers and administration really care about the students and will bend over backwards to make sure the students that want to learn have every opportunity they can possibly offer.

Spell it backwards and its the name of a poster. I think that was the idea, no harm meant to any retired teachers.

I think that was poke at me for some reason...vain attempt at humor maybe? I don't think it had anything to do with this accused teacher's (Watkins) story though.....also, yes, Mrs. Van Devender did retire a few years ago...and she is the wife of a pastor (also retired)...and she is also my MOTHER....not too sure she would agree with you on the elderly part though! Wink Thanks for jumping to speak up for her name too!

Sodomy? so she was doing the kid with a strap=on or something?

A Sheffield Junior High School teacher is charged with the second degree rape and second degree sodomy of a 15-year-old student.  


Not according to the charges.

Rape in the second degree.

(a) A person commits the crime of rape in the second degree if:

(1) Being 16 years old or older, he or she engages in sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex less than 16 and more than 12 years old; provided, however, the actor is at least two years older than the member of the opposite sex.

(2) He or she engages in sexual intercourse with a member of the opposite sex who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally defective.

(b) Rape in the second degree is a Class B felony.

Sodomy in the second degree.

(a) A person commits the crime of sodomy in the second degree if:

(1) He, being 16 years old or older, engages in deviate sexual intercourse with another person less than 16 and more than 12 years old.

(2) He engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent by reason of being mentally defective.

(b) Sodomy in the second degree is a Class B felony.

DEFINITION

(2) DEVIATE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. Any act of sexual gratification between persons not married to each other involving the sex organs of one person and the mouth or anus of another.


Use of an inanimate object (as you described) would be covered by the code against Sexual Torture. She was not charged with that.
