Grade school teacher

I wanted to do a post about this case because it shows a case in which there were red flags and concerns at various different schools over the years and it ended with this teacher abducting and raping a 10 year old boy. With society often having such biased views about female offenders it frequently allows them to operate for years or forever without them being caught or action taken.


TACOMA, Wash. - A former grade school teacher was convicted Monday of abducting one of her students, age 10, and raping him and his 15-year-old brother.

Both sides stipulated the facts in Pierce County Superior Court, and Judge D. Gary Steiner convicted 33-year-old Jennifer Leigh Rice of first-degree kidnapping with sexual motivation, first-degree child molesting and two counts of third-degree child rape.

The judge found that Rice took a 10-year-old student she taught in her first year at McKinley Elementary School from his home in Tacoma, drove more than 100 miles and had sex with him at a rest area on Interstate 90 on Aug. 11, 2007. She also was convicted of having sex with his 15-year-old brother in the previous month.

After her arrest, Rice said she'd had sex with the boy four or five times previously, including once when she sneaked into his house while his parents were asleep, according to a police affidavit. - Read the entire article here


The article also talks about various problems Rice had through out her career at different schools over the years and these problems mainly revolved around questionable behaviors with students.
