Story here. Excerpt:

'Julie Pritchett, 34, is charged with two counts of second-degree sodomy and one count of second-degree sexual abuse in the cases of two boys under 16. The victims in the cases with which she is charged are under the age of consent.

Charges are not being brought in the other identified incidents because the boys are of consenting age or unwilling to cooperate with authorities...
...
Pritchett was the sponsor for the high school's Diamond Dolls, the hostesses for the baseball team. It was through that position, Christian said, that she came into contact with some of her former students who were involved in the high school sports program.

Christian said Pritchett started a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old former student. That relationship led to sex acts with his friends, Christian said.

The sex acts were initiated by Pritchett, who used several methods of approaching the boys, Christian said. Some of the acts took place on the school's campus and others at the homes of the victims.'

She is a sexual predator and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. (That would be the same law that would put a man in jail for such an infraction).

By definition, this is rape.

I get tired of female sexual predators not being charged the same way a man would for the same crime. I also think it's ridiculous that a lot of the people who commented on the article claimed that the boys weren't "victims". If you reverse the genders it's still a crime, so it should be a crime for a female teacher as well.
