Damn, there sure are a lot of pedos around here. WTF?
Women cannot be pedos
Absolutely not true.
Of course women can be pedo’s! and she is one sick one! You are a moron
Why because you’re mom was one & now you are too.
*your
tell that to the children she abused
Her hairstyle is a warning label.
What? Already two comments, and no mention of chipper/shredders?
she does need capital punishment
Trump is a pedophile. Does he get the rope?
Sick bitch!
I have a spare bedroom for her. In this giving season, I’m willing up to give up my home to rehabilitate her! Everyone deserves a second chance!
In all seriousness tho, what she did is really messed up. She deserves what she is going to get.
Yawn. Troll on troll.
Another one with crazy eyes
And of course she is hot.
You really are tasteless if you think that woman is hot lol, too bad she’s attracted to little boys and not men seems like many MEN thought the same
When men think that way about women, it tells us they’re just as sick, knowing the women can lure the children in for the sick fucks. Good thing they can be unknown. But the internet router doesn’t lie. & Kevin & kpd can easily watch & find the nasty men & women in the comments
When I was in 7th or 8th grade this is what I would have called a fantasy.
If it were reality I would have shut TF up!
At the time I was copping feels while making out at school dances, summer camp dances, and make out parties.
Some emspecial time with a hot teacher a la Van Halen would sure have best dumpster diving at the corner stores at the beginning of the month for last months nudie mags or paying older kids $20 for old playboys in the 80s.
When it is woman on boy it is 100% different and we all know it.
Here is a rule of thumb, if you whack off later thinking about it, it’s not abuse!
Get out. She raped a minor. Boy or girl, it’s the same. She took advantage of a child. Go get your head examined!
She’ll get of light. Gender bias.
Special
Beat
Phones too small
Dude, these kids were in elementary school. She is seriously effed up and the last kid she attacked told her to get off him. Why? Because that would actually be fucking gross, to have some woman your mom’s age, probably drunk off her ass and reeking of booze slobbering all over you.
Dude,
I am sorry your T hit late.
At 7th grade we had all the hot mom’s listed and I would have drowned this one in spu**.
Remember this kids, stay away from this guys house 👆
Right, because as a kid you didn’t know any better. She’s a predator, seemingly so are you for justifying her behavior.
I was doing that in 1971. Same thing.
In the 80s all my teachers looked like Aunt B from The Andy Griffith Show.
Not a smoke show among them!
Of a young boy would fantasize. When a grown adult takes advantage of said child in any sick way. They become a predator & a danger to all children. The childs trauma is for life. Why are you taking up for this predator knowing damn well in the 80’s teachers looked & acted differently! We endured more discipline. Which I love
Principals would jack smart ass kidds up by the neck against the wall when they went to far and I remember my basketball ball coach whipping a ball at my head and telling me he was going to kick my ass if I kept out muscling him under the boards.
5’11 1/2”, 185 in 8th grade.
Yeah, the discipline was good in the 80s, hot teachers not so much…
Do we know where the kids are? Dad also went to jail in November and pending more
Time?
Why would you be told where the children are ? They’re protected from all evil now I pray no one else does them wrong. Who’s dad went to jail.
So, was this a plea deal or did she plead guilty to everything?
Important to know ………
Looks much older than 33.
I believe society takes a gender bias for this type offense. I’m in my mid 60s and this type of crime pops up regularly. The article doesn’t mention the victims gender but I’ll bet she’s a “man maker”. She won’t see much jail time compared to a man on child crime. It’s crazy.
You crazy as fuck if you wish that were true
There was a math teacher at Lance back in the day doing the same thing.
If your soldier rises to attention…
Seeing her different photos, I feel gypped.
Anna off her Crocker gonna have to learn lesbian love now
Jesus said: “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. And Jeus also said, But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
I find it interesting that Shane Burt, when he was forced to listen to pedophiles talk about their experiences with little kids, just wanted to beat them to pulp, but knew HE would be punished if he did because he would be against his program for not listening quietly to their sick desires. Shane has learned to sit quietly the way Wisconsin demands he behave. Remember Shane was wrongfully sentenced as a sex offender for a sex crime against a 30-year-old woman he didn’t commit, and she agrees Shane didn’t commit on two police reports. The prosecutor got a top state award, for lying on Shane’s Criminal Complaint. And the sentencing judge used the prosecutors Criminal Complaint to sentence Shane without reading the police report.
Shane wants and needs his due process, Constitutional rights and human rights for his Christmas present this year. Perhaps you want a boat, a new car or some other trite item? Perhaps those who genuinely care for the Constitution and Shane’s rights can send him a Christmas card with kind words in his suffering.
I know one person who apparently doesn’t care – your Governor Evers. See below:
Thank you for contacting the Office of Governor Tony Evers with your request to be granted an expungement or pardon.
As you may already know, an expungement erases a conviction from public records. Under state law, only a judge—not the Governor—has the authority to grant an expungement. If you remain interested in applying for an expungement, you can contact the court in which you were originally convicted. Community-based resources may also be available for you or you can consult with a private attorney.
While the Governor cannot grant an expungement, he has authority to grant pardons in collaboration with the Pardon Advisory Board. When someone is granted a pardon, they are relieved of the legal consequences of their conviction.
You are eligible for a pardon only if all of the following conditions apply to you:
1. You are seeking a pardon for a Wisconsin felony conviction.
2. It has been at least five (5) years since you finished any criminal sentence. This means you:
a. Completed all confinement; and
b. Completed all supervised release (e.g., probation, parole, or extended supervision).
3. You do not have any pending criminal cases or charges in any jurisdiction.
4. You are not currently required to register as a sex offender.
If you are interested in applying for a pardon, information on the general process and the application form are available on the Governor’s https://evers.wi.gov/Pages/pardon-information.aspx. Thank you again for contacting our office.
Sincerely,
The Office of Governor Tony Evers

So, Shane doesn’t fit the bill since he is too busy being treated by the state-ordered dangerous PSYCHOTROPICAL DRUGS despite the fact Shane doesn’t even want an aspirin let alone a dangerous drug per his April 2017 forced order. So, if you don’t get your constitutional rights the FIRST TIME AROUND, hopefully you have a million dollars to get your constitutional rights a second time. In the meantime, Evers has obviously turned his head. Evers needs Jesus!
I hope we start sentencing male pedophiles just as harshly. The only one in jail for the Epstein files is a woman.
