Lehrerin behauptet, obszöne Texte an 12jährigen Schüler waren "Sexualtherapie"

On Wednesday, a jury found Anderson guilty of nine sex-crime charges for molesting a student who was 12 years old at the time.

During math tutoring sessions at her home, Anderson, 31, had a series of sexual dalliances with the boy that included oral sex and inappropriate touching, reports the Tampa Bay Times.

Anderson shared the home with her husband. The teacher is also the mother of a six-year-old daughter.

In 2011, Anderson was named Mango Elementary’s diversity school teacher of the year, notes local CBS affiliate WTSP.

The three-day trial was at turns harrowing and bizarre.

For the harrowing part, prosecutors presented over 230 pages of variously obscene, scheming and insecure text messages. She sent texts about her lust. She sent texts concerning her anxiety about her body.

For his part, the 12-year-old boy occasionally took the name Dirty Dan, an alias SpongeBob SquarePants uses in an episode called "Survival of the Idiots."

There was Anderson’s clandestinely-taped confession to the unnamed student’s mother.

The boy, now 14, also testified at the trial.

"I felt she was like my real girlfriend," he said, according to The Tampa Tribune. "She said I was her boyfriend and she loved me. I was thinking, ‘I’m living a guy’s dream…dating my teacher.’"

(...) After asserting that the boy instigated sexual relations and she “pushed him off,” Anderson explained that the throng of text messages was merely part of a brilliant “sexual therapy” ploy “to get his attention for the purpose of his education.”
