Female Teachers Sex Crime Cases Against Children Exploding Across The Nation

There was a time that if a teacher was accused of a sex crime with a student your first thought was, "Who is the sick SOB man that did this?" Those days are long gone. Seems many cases are female teachers assaulting multiple victims.

There exists a clear and wide disparity between the punishments female sex offenders face, especially when compared to male sex offenders. Clearly, there are flaws in the system, but the lifelong consequences for victims, defendants, loved ones, and even entire schools occur regardless of the outcome in the legal system. 

When sex crimes involving teachers take place, virtually everyone in the community and school becomes embroiled in the controversy, taking away from learning and quite possibly exposing young children to situations, words, and even actions that most should not even be exposed to at their age. 

However, in order to prevent future possible sexual abuse, schools and law enforcement are forced to be tough and take any sexual allegation seriously. And in some cases, possibly go beyond normal charges and allegations, if it means preventing future abuse of the children they are obligated to protect.
