Update: Controversial but fair punishment for 2 predatory school teachers

Last summer, at the height of frenzied news reports about female school teachers sexually assaulting their students, I published what I hoped would be instructive articles on how the criminal justice system should deal with a few of these misguided "sex-ed" teachers.

Well, 2 of them received their punishment on Wednesday; and, I don’t mind confirming that the judge seems to have followed my sentencing guidelines in each case:

And, click here to read what he decided in the Debra Lafave (R) case; and here to read what I recommended.

Clairvoyant? Not exactly. But sometimes it pays to take a gamble on commonsense prevailing in the American criminal justice system....

Note: In the Lafave case, I never even suggested – as her lawyer agued, incredulously - that she was “just too pretty to be locked up” because she’d be "like red meat to those animals" in prison. Because, if I were the judge hearing Lafave's lawyer make this asinine argument, I would have conveyed to her that if she did not reappear with a new lawyer, she would indeed be doing time with those caged animals.
