Amber Kraus, Science Teacher, Accused Of Sex With High School Student

Spoiler

An Illinois science teacher is accused of carrying on a sexual relationship with a student at the high school where she taught.

Amber Kraus, 30, is charged with criminal sexual assault of a victim between the ages of 13 and 17, and aggravated criminal sexual abuse. Lake County prosecutors say the science teacher admitted having sexual contact with the Grant High School student, but denies that they had sexual intercourse. The victim told police that the two had sex at Kraus' Grayslake, Ill., home, and exchanged inappropriate photos.

Kraus has since moved to Mundelein, Ill., according to the Lake County Sun-Times. She was released on $10,000 bond and must obey a curfew as a condition of her bail, in addition to avoiding contact with minors, including the victim. The teacher resigned from Grant High School, where she had taught for eight years, after the allegations came to light Oct. 9. In a letter to parents, school administrators called the case an "isolated incident that occurred away from campus and involved no other students," according to the Daily Herald.

Kraus is not the first Chicago-area teacher to face allegations of sex with a student this year. In August, a 39-year-old instructor at a vocational school in Chicago was arrested after she allegedly had sex in a parked car with a 17-year-old enrolled at the school.

Drama teacher who asked pupil for sex, played 'who's a virgin?' with her class and got them to mime sex acts is struck off

Spoiler

By LUKE SALKELD

A drama teacher who asked a 17-year-old boy for sex and played a game with pupils called Who’s a Virgin? has been banned from teaching. Lindsay Black, 28, also urged sixth-formers to mime sexual acts at the Roman Catholic school where she taught, a disciplinary panel was told. She paid particular attention to a teenager who was performing in the school musical, and revealed to pupils that she fantasised about having sex in the drama class and cheating on her fiancé. Black sent text messages, emails and Facebook messages to the 17-year-old boy, asking him to meet up for sex. It was said the schoolboy, referred to as Pupil A, showed other pupils text messages from Black as he rehearsed for We Will Rock You, a show based on the songs of rock band Queen.

English teacher Abigail Watts said: ‘I heard comments from other pupils about Miss Black liking pupils and I asked what this meant. They said she had been Facebook messaging Pupil A – she told him she had a dream about them having sex.’ She added: ‘They had not met up but they had been talking about it.’ The hearing was told Black ‘flirted’ with the boy during lessons and sent him a message saying how she dreamt about him. The trained actress met the teenager while working on maternity cover at St Joseph’s Roman Catholic High School in Newport, South Wales. She contacted him on Facebook asking about his coursework – then began sending him messages talking about sex and alcohol.

Black told the boy she had a dream in which she performed a sex act on him, then asked him to meet up with her for sex. A Professional Conduct Committee of the General Teaching Council of Wales heard she even grilled the boy’s girlfriend about their relationship. The hearing was told that Black played a game in which she asked her sixth form class, ‘who’s a virgin?’ and made pupils stand up if they had not yet had sex. She also played a game named ‘I Have Never’ in which she would ask them if they had performed various sex acts. The hearing was told Black then encouraged the teenagers to mime sex acts and spent time talking to pupils about sex. When Black was confronted by the head of drama she told him it was just an exercise to get pupils ‘into character’.

Colleague Sandra Davies said: b that during drama classes Miss Black would talk about sex and she turned the lessons on to a sexual theme. She said she wanted to cheat on her fiancé once before getting married and that she fantasised about having sex on a table in the drama class. ‘They played a game called “I Have Never” where she would ask them things [about sex]. She would then get the pupils to act out the acts in question.’ The hearing in Cardiff was told how Pupil A’s academic performance had suffered as a result of the messages and he had to re-sit his AS levels. Black was interviewed by police following the allegations in 2011 but no further action was taken.

She later admitted engaging in inappropriate and sexually explicit conversations with a pupil via Facebook.

Black, who did not attend the hearing, denied talking to her class about sex and said the pupils had made up the allegations. But the panel found she had held discussions of an ‘inappropriate and sexually explicit nature’ with pupils. They found her actions amount to unacceptable professional conduct and banned her from teaching. Committee chairman Peter Williams said: ‘The conduct in question seriously affected pupils and was not an isolated lapse. Black’s actions are fundamentally incompatible with being a registered teacher.’ Black declined to comment at her house in Pontypridd after the hearing. Paul Bennett, chairman of governors at St Joseph’s RC High School, said: ‘The school takes allegations of unprofessional conduct very seriously and acts swiftly when such allegations are made.’

English Teacher, Allegedly Had Sex With 15-Year-Old Student

Spoiler

By: The Huffington Post

An English teacher at a reputable Utah high school is accused of having sex with at least one of her students.

Brianne Altice, 34, was arrested at her home Monday on two felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor, after a victim tipped Kaysville police off about their alleged months-long sexual relationship.

According to the Deseret News, the boy could accurately describe tattoos on Altice's body, and confirmed the layout of her South Weber home, where investigators allege the two had sex at least five times between January 2012 to October 2013.

Police said Altice and the student also had sex in a park in Kaysville at least once, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

Fox 13 Salt Lake City reports that the affair allegedly began when the boy was 15 or 16, while he was a student of Altice's at Davis High School. The victim is now 17.

Police said they have not ruled out the possibility of more victims. Students at the high school where Altice taught English for about a year were shocked by the allegations.

"She always wanted to be liked," Kylee Carroll, a student at Davis High School, told KUTV. "I just didn't think that she would ever do something like this."

Davis School District spokesperson Chris Williams noted concerns that the scandal would damage the reputation of the school.

"This high school is a great high school. It has a fantastic reputation across the state," Williams told KUTV. "So I'm sure today there are some teachers out there wondering, 'What does this do for the reputation?'"

Altice, who has been with the district since 2004, was placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Conway teacher arrested after alleged relationship with student

Spoiler

By: WMBF News Staff

CONWAY, SC (WMBF) – A teacher at Conway High School was arrested Tuesday after an investigation determined that she engaged in inappropriate behavior with a student for over a year.

Courtney Ruth Martin, 26, of Aynor, turned herself in to police on November 5 and was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, according to a news release from the Conway Police Department. An investigation determined that while employed as a teacher at Conway High School, Martin engaged in the inappropriate behavior with one of her students between August 23, 2012 and October 29, 2013.

For many students, it isn't the age difference bothering them about the allegations against the teacher; they're worried about the abuse of power as an educator

"She's a grown woman and he's a student," said student Mason Fletcher. "That's not something she should be doing. She's taking advantage of him, and he's just young and naïve and doesn't realize it."

According to the police report, the school received an anonymous complaint alleging Martin was in an improper relationship with the student, and that they planned to have sex. The caller alleged that Martin had sent photos of her body parts.

"I could never imagine getting a picture like that from a male or even female teacher," said student Katie Lee. "They should both know better, even though he is underage"

Police interviewed Martin and the student, who both denied any involvement with each other. The student later admitted they were in a relationship, advising that he would go to her classroom during lunch or after school and they would hug, kiss and talk.

Martin was issued a contract in July 2010 and has taught English at Conway High School since then, according to district spokeswoman Teal Britton.

Martin was placed on administrative leave on October 29, and remains on leave. Police released her on a $5,000 bond.

School assistant could face jail over sex video with 16-year-old Belfast pupil at St Mary’s Christian Brothers Boy’s Grammar School

Spoiler

BY AMANDA FERGUSON – 11 NOVEMBER 2013

A former classroom assistant who allegedly made a sex tape with a Belfast schoolboy that ended up on a pornographic website could face up to five years in prison for ‘abuse of trust’ if charged and convicted.

Jo O'Neill-McBurney (21), from Crumlin, Co Antrim, was suspended from St Mary’s Christian Brothers Boy’s Grammar School in west Belfast after a 30-minute sex video, featuring her and a teenager, thought to be a 16-year-old, emerged on the internet. It’s understood the footage, believed to have been recorded by the pair in April, has in recent weeks been viewed more than 6,000 times on a free website. It is not known who uploaded the graphic footage to the site. The age of consent for sexual activity in Northern Ireland is 16, however it is illegal for anyone in a position of trust to engage in sexual activity with a person under 18 years of age. The offence can carry up to five years in prison. Ms O’Neill-McBurney is currently being investigated by police for an abuse of trust. A PSNI spokesman said: “Police can confirm they received a report of an incident in April 2013.

“This is subject to an ongoing police investigation and as such it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage.”

PSNI child protection officers got involved in the case after another pupil at St Mary's alerted a member of staff to the explicit video.

Ms O'Neill-McBurney was immediately suspended and has since left her job. The teenager in the film left St Mary’s in the summer after completing his exams. A statement from St Mary’s said: “(The school) became aware of an allegation that concerned one of its former pupils (and) immediately implemented relevant safeguarding measures in collaboration with all appropriate agencies. “A staff member was immediately placed on a precautionary suspension and is no longer employed.” A friend of Ms O'Neill-McBurney told the Sunday Life she has been left distraught by the episode. “Jo has been devastated by this,” the source said. “She has made repeated attempts to have the video removed from the website but has had no success.“She is incredibly frustrated, hurt and frightened.”

A link to the video was not made available at post time.

The Massachusetts Senate has voted to raise the state’s minimum wage from $8 to $11 per hour by 2016 and tie subsequent increases to inflation.

Spoiler

By STEVE LeBLANC / Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) — The bill, approved by a 32-7 vote Tuesday, would increase the wage for the state’s lowest-paid workers in increments over the next three years, starting in July 2014. After 2016, future increases would be linked to the Consumer Price Index for the Northeast. There are currently 10 other states that index their minimum wages to the rate of inflation. The bill now heads to the state House. Gov. Deval Patrick has expressed general support for the idea of increasing the state’s minimum wage. The state’s minimum wage has not changed since 2008 and isn’t automatically adjusted for inflation. The legislation also would require the state’s minimum wage to always be at least 50 cents higher than the federal minimum, which is $7.25 per hour.

During the debate, senators approved an amendment that would raise the minimum wage for tipped employees to half of the minimum wage for other workers. The minimum wage for tipped employees like waiters is $2.63 per hour in Massachusetts. Backers of the higher wage point out that an individual earning a minimum wage and trying to support a family often has to rely on federal benefits like food stamps to help make ends meet.

‘‘Hard working people working full time and being paid our minimum wage now are living in poverty,’’ said Sen. Dan Wolf, D-Harwich. ‘‘Raising the minimum wage is an important step to rebalancing our top-heavy economy.’’ Senate Republicans said they backed some increase, but said the minimum wage can’t be taken out of context.

They said other actions are needed including lowering the cost of health care, easing up the cost of unemployment insurance for businesses, and increasing training opportunities to help workers get better-paying jobs. ‘‘We are continuing to take a myopic view of how to help low wage workers,’’ said Sen. Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester. ‘‘We shouldn’t hold the minimum wage up as a thing to aspire to.’’ Business groups have warned that the higher wage might force employers to pass on the cost to consumers or cut worker benefits. Those opposed to the increase also said it could inadvertently hurt teenagers trying to land summer or part-time jobs, effectively pricing them out of the labor market.

Critics of the increase in the minimum wage for tipped workers said it could harm the owners of restaurants that typically operate on narrow profit margins.

The vote comes a day after a group backing proposed ballot questions that would increase the state’s minimum wage and require all workers be given earned sick time said it has collected about 270,000 signatures from Massachusetts residents, nearly four times the number needed to put the question before voters next year.

Massachusetts currently has the third highest minimum wage in New England behind Connecticut ($8.25) and Vermont ($8.60).

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley and state Treasurer Steven Grossman — both of whom are running for the Democratic nomination for governor next year — said they also support increasing in the minimum wage.

Never queue in a pub again! Order drinks from your MOBILE with new app... and even have a round waiting when you arrive

Spoiler

By MARTHA DE LACEY

To queue or not to queue: that has always been the question when it comes to going for drinks in a bar or pub.

Do you risk losing your table (and your mind) jostling for position behind rival boozers, or do you hang on until the queue dies down... only to watch it build up once more as your thirst becomes more extreme?

But fret no more! Now there's Orderella, a new UK-based app to help you solve this age-old dilemma by allowing you to use your mobile phone to order drinks.

The Orderella app - currently being used in the Keyworth Tavern, Keyworth, Nottingham, and due to be rolled out nationwide from next month - lets pub-goers place their orders for drinks online and be alerted when the bartender has made them.

And you can even do this from home, meaning when you arrive at the pub there will be a nice chilled round waiting for you and your friends at your table.

Andy Crawford, operations director of the Pub People Company, which owns the Keyworth Tavern, told The Express: 'The way you order drinks in a pub hasn't changed for a thousand years. This is trying to get away from the Luddite mentality towards change in pubs.

'But customers will still be able to have friendly contact with pub staff. I think it's an extension of the relationship. Don't forget, the drink will be brought to the table by a member of staff.'

When a customer orders drinks the barman is notified via his iPad, and when he starts making drinks the customer receives a message. He receives another when the drinks are ready.

Keyworth Tavern manager Adrian Clarke said the app is working well, and that 'people are always more comfortable when they're sat at their table than when they're stood at the bar'.

He added: 'When you have to go to the bar, you have to break that conversation mid-flow. With this, the conversation doesn't stop.'

Orderella's chief operating officer Jamal Hirani said the app should enhance the social drinking experience: 'It's about enhancing customer service, it's not taking away the customer's ability, when the pub's empty, to go to the bar and talk to the barman. It makes life a little easier.'

Vice principal 'had custodian transferred after he broke up with her'

Spoiler

By MARTHA DE LACEY

A high school custodian has accused the former vice principal of having him transferred because he ended their affair. Jamaal Winchester, 33, has filed a sexual harassment complaint against Liz Wilson, saying she stalked him and took steps to have him temporarily moved to another school with fewer working hours as punishment. 'The reason I was transferred was because I rejected Ms. Wilson's advances,' he wrote in his filing with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI). 'She knew I needed overtime hours and knew I needed my job.'

The Oregonian reported the pair worked together at Madison High School in Portland, Oregon. They secretly started dating in January and Winchester moved in with Wilson. He was in a long-term relationship with the mother of his children at the same time. But a month later, the district found out about the affair and the couple were called into the principal's office. That's when Winchester 'left Ms. Wilson’s house and returned to the mother of his children,' the complaint says. But Winchester, 33, alleges his former lover wouldn't let it go, and kept calling, texting and visiting him to get back together.

'Ms. Wilson approached Mr. Winchester nearly every day during work in the cafeteria to tell him that he should reconsider his decision about their relationship,' Winchester claims. 'One evening, Ms. Wilson called Mr. Winchester around midnight and, when Mr. Winchester did not answer, left a voicemail saying, 'What a n*****'.'

The couple briefly took up their relationship again. Then, in late February, when Winchester went to visit his children, Wilson allegedly followed him in a car. After confronting her, he moved out of her house. But Winchester said his fling continued to make contact, even though he insisted they just stay friends. He claimed Wilson continually approached him at school and claims his supervisor was aware of the 'harassment'. In March, Winchester and the mother of his children encountered Wilson and a friend at a restaurant. Wilson alleges Winchester and his companion yelled at her and called her a home-wrecker, according to The Oregonian.

Wilson then filed a restraining order against Winchester.

Although the claim was dismissed on April 1, Winchester says the damage was done. He had been transferred to another school and given 20 less working hours a week. Winchester was allowed to return to Madison on August 26. The custodian also alleges the district delayed his return to Madison in retaliation for the initial sexual harassment complaint. Wilson has been transferred to Marysville School, a Southeast Portland K-8 building, where she is the assistant principal. Winchester said the district painted Wilson's transfer in a positive light, whereas he felt humiliated. BOLI is investigating the case, which was filed in June. In a statement, Portland Public Schools Chief Human Resources Officer Sean Murray said the district 'addressed the matter appropriate to the circumstances with both employees at the conclusion of its investigations.'

'As this is a personnel matter, the district has no further information to provide at this time,' he wrote. Winchester’s attorney, Jon Weiner, said his client believed it was unfair he was being punished for ending the relationship. 'The district really aided and abetted that when the district had an opportunity to make everything right in a timely manner,' he said, according to The Oregonian. Weiner said Winchester will =pursue a lawsuit unless the district settles.

First in line: The World's Tallest Waterslide Looks as Terrifying As It Sounds

Spoiler

by: Neetzan Zimmerman

Just how insane is the record-setting waterslide currently being erected at the Schlitterbahn Kansas City Waterpark? Let's just say they didn't name it Verruckt (that's German for "insane") for nothing.

Dubbed "the world’s tallest, fastest and most extreme waterslide," the VERRUCKT MEG-A-BLASTER will reportedly "tower" over the current tallest waterslide — Brazil's 134.5-foot tall "Insano."

The final height will be formally announced once construction has been completed.

Not insane enough for you? You might think differently once you're "speed sliding" down the Verruckt at over 65 miles per hour with three of your buddies.

That's right: The Meg-A-Blaster is a four-person raft slide with an extra hump thrown in for good measure.

Announced last year and originally slated to open this year, the project is now expected to be completed in time for Opening Day 2014.

"This new MEG-A-BLASTER speed-slide is going to wow our guests and is going to be a game changer for our industry," Schlitterbahn co-owner Jeff Henry said in a statement. "Our greatest challenge will be to find thrill seekers brave enough to ride."

I quit email, from some person who was an auditor. TLDR full of feelings (and ether?)

Spoiler

http://gawker.com/this-is-the-best-i-quit-email-youll-read-all-week-1467082884

Here's the entire email (with all names redacted):

Date: 11/06/2013 10:44 AM

Subject: Farewell and QUEEN BEY ALL DAY!

Hello XXXXXX Team,

After careful consideration, I will be ending my employment with PwC effective Monday, November 11th.

I've done two audit internships, one at Deloitte and one at PwC. I hated it then but I thought I'd give it a third try. Third time's a charm right? GTFOH(If you don't know what it means Google it!) Basically, my time here as an associate has confirmed everything I already knew ten times over. Auditing is a job for people who truly don't have any other options and don't know what else they could be doing. You work day in and day out pulling useless documentation and filling out useless workpapers that won't really benefit anybody. All of it is BS! After asking dozens upon dozens of auditors what they think of their jobs and getting responses that include "I love my job!" or "I wouldn't trade it for the world," I realized just how fake auditors can be.

I strongly believe that auditors hate their lives and try to rationalize every piece of it. "Oh it's just busy season" or "If everybody did the jobs they loved to do then there would be nobody doing the jobs that need to be done." Measley excuses to justify pursuing a useless, meaningless career....

Here are some tips and pointers I thought I'd share for all of you to use through out life, you'll need it. I also throw some tips in there that you can take back to the next XXXXXX Team Meeting or just any meeting where real people's suggestions can be heard. Maybe a board meeting of some sort with some really important partners, because they're so important right? (side eye)

I figure I would use the assistance of Twitter hashtags....y'all like those right?

Auditing is for the birds, get a real career that has meaning #dontbeFAKEaboutitbeABOUTit

Those coach and partner "relationships" or "meetings"....whatever you want to call them....Just stop. #thatishissoawkward #icantdeal #soforced #fakeconvosforfakeauditors #noidontwanttogazeintoyoureyesatatablefortwo #waytoointimateformytaste

Let's keep it real, partners are treated as if they're royalty. The reality is, THEY'RE NOT! They are average Joe's like you and I, only their pockets are a little bigger. So, there is no need to wait at the partner's feet acting like you'll do any and everything to please them. For what? No need to come in early just to greet the partner on the job. No need to act like you're such an overachiever by doing all of these unnecessary things. If you're an overachiever, be a real one..not a phony. No need to wait until the partner leaves during busy season only to leave 20 minutes later.

Your time is just as valuable, are the partners God? I don't think so...#don'tbeasellout #thepartnerisgoinghometoeathisorherwarmsupper #whileyouarefakeauditng #weallknownooneisproductiveafterabout7pm #gohomeandcuddleupwithyourkids #ohandspousestoo #isntthatwhatthepartnersaredoing? #ohwellsIdigress

XXXXXX, you're fake important and you stink. I've peeped your game...constantly trying to throw me under the bus. You talk too much about everyone and how much you're so stressed out on all of your clients ...everyday we suffer from hearing this ish as well as listening to your countless stories about your girlfriend.

XXXXXX, where do I start? You hate yourself and your job, let's be honest. Your cat doesn't care about you so stop caring about it. Stories about your nasty cat are unbearable. Seriously, I can't even deal. Beyond gross! You're fake ratchet! I hear you giving weird remarks that are borderline weird....I can definitely hear the twang in your voice. Just be you! Most of all, these are the top 10 reasons Baddie Bey(Beyonce) will kill Britney Spears (she's a has been) any day.

Beyonce can sing and dance live without lip singing and do it well. She doesn't need autotune or a background track to make her the Queen. All she needs is a mic, some heels, and her fabulous Brazilian and Malaysian wig to swing around. Can't say the same for Britt. Sorry girl!

Beyonce has much more class.

Beyonce's music transcends culture. Britt....uh....well, that stopped a few world tours ago.

Beyonce has continued to get better and better over time. Her vocals are stronger than ever. Not to mention, after popping out Baby Blue she was back at it. She didn't get all washed up and boring like Britt did.

Beyonce is on some presidential ish. Didn't you watch President Obama and First Lady Michelle's first dance? Or the inauguration performance? Haven't you kept up with the Let's Move campaign (Bey and First Lady Michelle's initiative to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity? ) Well, Bey has been on! Britt has stayed in the shadows. #sorrybutnotsorry #getyourlife

Beyonce killed the Superbowl half time show solo dolo. Britt and NSYNC did that back in the 90s...but that was the 90s...and she wasn't solo dolo...so Bey wins!

Beyonce can dance her butt off. She has rythym. Britt used to be able to ...but she is stiff now. I'm sorry..

Beyonce has stage presence. I don't think you know what that is but you can Google it. It's basically something Britt doesn't have.

Beyonce is the QUEEN. She is the best performer alive. Bottom line, no gimmicks!

Beyonce wins and now that I'm out of here, I win too!!! #doingtheharlemshakeasitype

Mom Gives Kids Homemade Lunch, School Forces Them to Eat Ritz Crackers

Spoiler

By: Neetzan Zimmerman

A mom who thought she was properly parenting by sending her two young kids to school with a homemade, whole-food lunch was shocked to find a penalty note from school officials informing her that the lunch of roast beef, potatoes, carrots, oranges and milk she provided was "unbalanced" and therefore had to be supplemented with Ritz crackers.

She was also fined $10.

According to Weighty Matters, the Manitoba Government's Early Learning and Child Care department blindly follows a policy which requires lunches to be "balanced" according to "Canada's awful Food Guide."

Unbalanced lunches are subject to supplementation and a fine of CDN$5 (US$4.80) per "missing item" per child.

In Kristen Bartkiw's case, she "neglected" to include "grains" with Natalie and Logan's packed lunches — a "dereliction" that was "corrected" through the "supplementation" of Ritz crackers.

According to the nutrition facts found on its homepage, a serving of Ritz crackers (~10 crackers) contains 6.5g of fat, of which nearly half is saturated.

To drive home the ridiculousness of the policy, Kristen tells Weighty Matters she could have sent her kids to daycare with "microwave Kraft Dinner and a hot dog, a package of fruit twists, a Cheestring, and a juice box," and it would have been met with approval by the MCCA.

As a follow-up, Kristen notes that other parents falling short of Manitoba's policy has resulted in the creation of a hot lunch program, which she described as "great."
