Teaching More than Reading, Writing and ….

Tanya-Rameriz-Mugshot-640x468

Meet Tanya Ramirez, a former teacher in Corpus Christi, TX.  Ms. Ramirez got caught doing the horizontal bop with two male students on separate occasions. She has been fired and charged. After several false starts she got a sweetheart deal from the state. No jail, no sex offender registration and probation.

Both of her “victims” were 17 year old students. In Texas it’s okay to screw a 17 year old, just as long as there is no educator/student relationship. So this isn’t so much about crossing moral boundaries as legislative ones.

Ms. Ramirez is now threatening to sue the mother of one of the boys for slander and defamation of character. Among other things, Ms. Ramirez alleges that since the boys were 17 she has a “constitutional right” to have sex with them. The state law banning sex because of their status as students, is a violation of her rights.  To accuse her of indecent immoral acts for what is essentially legal conduct is slander.

I always thought that a typical plea bargain required that the defendant accept responsibility for their actions. Guess not.
