Third Grade Teacher Arrested on Charges of Child Pornography, Lewd Acts

Story here. Excerpt:

'A third-grade teacher who resigned this week after parents accused her of dressing their daughters in lingerie and photographing them at a Christmas party was arrested on Thursday.

Kimberly Crain, 47, was arrested at her home in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and will face charges of manufacture of child pornography and lewd acts with a child, said District Attorney Richard Smothermon."
...
Crain had been an elementary teacher for six years in McLoud, Oklahoma, about 30 miles east of Oklahoma City, when she allegedly invited third- and fourth-grade girls to her home last month for a Christmas party. She is accused of having the girls dress in holiday-themed bras and panties and photographing them.'

Just as troubling as the story is the reaction of many who commented on it. They express shock, since "women don't do this sort of thing". I would argue that some women have always done this sort of thing, but people were more likely to explain away their behavior, rather than see it for what it is.

So, I see her arrest, and the charges filed, as extremely positive. It will be very interesting to see if the prosecutors can obtain a conviction, however.
