She turned herself in, then posted bail at $75,000. The school board was going to hold a special meeting today to determine whether to fire her or not, but this morning she resigned her position. The indictment, which can be viewed on the web page of a local TV news station, states that on three occasions Mrs. Burton engaged in sexual intercourse with a 15 year old girl, including oral and penetrative sex. Considering how attractive she is, and the sensational nature of this case, I wonder if this is going to make it into the national spotlight in any of the same degree that the Deb LeFave case did. My guess is no, as she is slightly less attractive than Deb, and she hasn't admitted guilt yet. However, there are some rumblings that she made a sex tape of at least one of the incidents. I doubt this to be true, but if it turns out that she did do this, I hope this makes it all over the media, for no other reason than to show that women are just as capable of doing horrible things to children as are men.

All these female teachers involved in sex acts or intrusions of one sort of another… …Well let's take the 'Democratic' approach and we will tax all female teachers!
I would like to rhetorically ask: 'What's this world coming to?' but one only needs to look at the idiots in Washington.

As a parent of a child coached by this woman who preached character to her students; I am sickened by her and her acts. There is supposed to be video but it was a hidden video that her husband allegedly put up after getting curious as to some comments from her biological kids made to him. He was a smart cookie! Now she wants a trial because rumor has it that the child wants to see her. I think she wants to see the child as well and secretly hopes the child will not testify because of their "bond". I hope that it costs her the maximum sentence as well. People like her need prison for life!
