Married Georgia teacher had threesome with students in classroom, another tryst at local Waffle House: police

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/married-teacher-bedded-students-classroom-waffle-house-police-article-1.1729783

A married Georgia high school teacher had a threesome with two students in a classroom, then met up with one of the students at a Waffle House for another sexual tryst, prosecutors say.

Lori Quigley, 41, faces several sexual assault charges in the case — and authorities fear there may be other victims.

"We think there's more out there," Major Danny Lowe of the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office told WAWS-TV. "The charges are serious, all three felonies.”

Quigley resigned from her position as math teacher at McIntosh County Academy earlier this month and was then arrested at her Brunswick home last week.


FloridaMan took the day off.

1. No way Florida Man never takes a day off

He will do something stupid before the day is done.

[steve2470]

2. *checks schedule of FloridaMan*

oops, my mistake, you're right. No days off for a long time.

[TheBlackAdder]

3. It it me or do a lot of things happen in or near a Waffle House? nt

[Berlum]

6. Maybe "waffle" is a republican euphemism for threesome sex?

I mean, Repubbies regard toe-tapping bathroom-stall extramarital Diaper Sex with a high-paid D.C. hooker as: "Totally Worthy of a Republicon Senate Caucus Standing Ovation." So we have to allow lots of latitude here...Repubbies are imaginative.

[blueamy66]

4. A threesome in a classroom?

She has to has some kind of emotional/mental issues.

[lumberjack_jeff]

5. "Tryst"? "Threesome?"

You can immediately know the genders of the perpetrator and victim(s) by just reading the headline.

[tammywammy]

7. Agreed.

"sexual encounters", "tryst," "threesome"./

She's a predator that assaulted teens.

[steve2470]

9. exactly nt

[Demo_Chris]

11. You mean they wouldn't call it a 'threesome' if the teacher were a male?!

[aquart]

31. How?

Or, possibly, horny boys spot an opening with nutty professor?

She tossed her marriage, custody of her kids if she has any, her source of income, and her freedom for teenagers?

Something is hugely wrong with this woman and maybe we should bother to find out what it is so we can, like, screen for it?

[tammywammy]

48. Your response is exactly what I was thinking about.

A man sexually assaults a student they're a sexual predator, a woman does it and "something is hugely wrong with this woman".

[customerserviceguy]

51. And she won't get half the sentence

that a man having a "twosome" would have received.

Please understand, I'm not advocating a lighter sentence for a male, I just wish the law would apply equally to female who think students are sex toys.

[BainsBane]

38. It happens across genders

That is the effect of the rape culture you insist doesn't exist, except suddenly you care when the victim is male. You must have worked hard to ignore the use of sexual language regarding the rape of women and girls. Perhaps you should consider spending less time claiming that rape prevention campaigns amount to "haranguing men" and instead focused on the brutality of the crime itself.

46. +1

I was somewhat surprised to see such an off-base statement, but given the source...

[Archae]

8. Sounds like a typical porn movie...

[kwassa]

10. mmmmmm ..... waffles!

[cloudbase]

12. She's a math teacher.

Two goes into one how many times?

[one_voice]

13. The police said the kids were all..

at least 16; wonder if that's important because the age of consent in 16 in Georgia.

Before anyone jumps on me---IN NO WAY am I excusing what she did. Just thought that it was odd they put that out there.

She's a predator and used her position as a teacher to access her victims. She should be treated as a predator.

[blueamy66]

15. So, if the age of consent is 16...

She was charged because she is more than 4 years older than the boys?

[one_voice]

20. I think it would have more to do with her being..

was a teacher. I'm not sure though.

[blueamy66]

21. I'm looking for some information on it right now.

23. Here..

New Georgia law bans sex between teachers and students, despite student's consent

ATLANTA -- Legislation Gov. Sonny Perdue signed into law Friday aims to close what sponsors called a loophole created by a Supreme Court decision that exonerated an Augusta teacher who was convicted of sex with a student.

The state's highest court ruled last year that a law that prohibited sex between teachers and students included a defense for any teacher prosecuted if the student testified it was consensual. The court concluded the fact that the law at the time specifically excluded consent in other circumstances and not in the case of a teacher, that the General Assembly must have intended consent to be a valid defense.

[blueamy66]

24. Okay, I think that the threesome in the classroom was weird and sick, but

isn't consensual sex consensual sex?

[steve2470]

26. explanation

The rationale is that no matter even if the student is 18 years old, the student is in a power relationship with the teacher, and can get abused because of that. It's the same way for doctors. I'm not sure about lawyers and other professionals. It probably is that way for lawyers.

eta: http://www.gabar.org/forthepublic/upload/MacKenna_S.pdf

Appears to be unethical in GA.

[one_voice]

33. No. A student/taeacher...

is not an equal working relationship. The teacher has power over the student and thus leaves room for abuse.

[blueamy66]

41. Okay. So how about the 16 year old that has a sexual relationship with his/her Manager at

McDonald's? Or his/her baseball coach? Or judge? Or pastor? Wonder if they are all included in the exceptions.

[steve2470]

43. manager, depends on the state law

baseball coach, same thing as manager; judge - quite sure that's illegal and unethical in all states; pastor - state law and the religious association would probably defrock/fire him or her (not sure how Catholic Church handles this from parish to parish).

He beat me to it.

[Xithras]

37. The crime was that it was teacher/student sex. The right of consent has exceptions.

Sexual consent laws have always included exceptions. You can't consent to sex with a close relative. You can't consent to sex with a law enforcement officer if you have been arrested or detained. You can't consent to sex with doctors who are treating you. The laws recognize that, even though you may be legally able to have consensual intercourse with anybody you choose, consent is prohibited in situations where imbalanced power relationships can lead to abuse. It doesn't mater if you're 16 or 36...if the law says you can't give consent, then you can't give consent, and the other person is committing a crime if they touch you.

Teacher/student relationships have long been one of these exceptions. It would have been perfectly legal for this woman to pick up these 16 and 17 year old boys at the local park for her sexual orgies, but it's a crime for her to pick up on her own students for that kind of thing. She cannot use her position of power, as a teacher, to obtain sexual consent from ANY students under her authority.

[1000words]

14. Sexual predator means a laugh riot?

Where is the outrage?

[steve2470]

16. not to me

If she's found guilty, she needs a) appropriate incarceration and b) appropriate treatment. I don't think anyone seriously finds this funny.

[TeeYiYi]

17. I don't get why they keep mentioning that the perp is married. ..nt

TYY

[steve2470]

18. good point nt

[blueamy66]

19. Most likely because she is a married woman.

And not a married man.

[TeeYiYi]

22. Still don't see the relevance...

...of her marital status as it relates to sexual abuse of a minor.

TYY

[blueamy66]

25. Maybe because married woman are not supposed to cheat!

nt

[zappaman]

27. Neither are married men! n/t

[blueamy66]

40. I realize that!

But history has shown us that it is more "acceptable" for married men to cheat, no?

[TeeYiYi]

28. My feeling is...

...that child sexual abuse has zippo to do with marital vows.

That said, they sure are trying to emphasize the married angle by mentioning it in the headline and again in the first paragraph.

TYY

[steve2470]

32. you are correct with marital vows and child sexual abuse nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

34. It's relevant if your readers think that infidelity is a worse sin than sexual abuse of a minor.

This article is a great example of social double standards.

The "relationship" between the teacher and those students is treated as a peer or near-peer relationship, therefore she shouldn't be accountable for her actions in the same way a grown man should be. Also, the boys in question aren't entitled to the same degree or type of protection that "over 16 year old" girls are.

[BainsBane]

42. "It's relevant if your readers think that infidelity is a worse sin than sexual abuse of a minor"

Indeed: http://www.democraticunderground.com/111412823

The double standard I see is in your reaction to this case, as opposed to those where girls or women are victims, as opposed to this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023490545#post15

[seabeyond]

45. you will have many feminist speaking out about this. further, i suggest some men have finally learne

that it is not a huge thumbs up, a child raped by a teacher, when boy. it would be us women that have been fighting this. fighting how we perceive men and boys. challenging our men that say.... man, if only that happened to me at 12. i would be so thrilled. ya.

it would be the women and mostly feminist that men have to thank, for calling this out consistently.

and

you are welcome.

[Orrex]

35. Would they not have mentioned it if the predator were a man?

I'm pretty sure that they would. And if he happened to be a father or a little league coach or a Sunday school teacher, you can bet that the story would include these "relevant" details as well.

[Nevernose]

49. They probably would have

But certainly not in the title.

These stories make me angry, both as a respectable teacher and as the parent of a 17 year old girl.

However, from a purely intellectual level, I find the article to be sexist both against her and in her favor at the same time. For instance, if this had been a male teacher, they probably would have written something much closer to "pedophile tapes two girls in classroom," which definitely would have been worse. However, using words like "married" and "threesome" is just to make it tawdry and shaming. She's already going to lose her career, her family, and her freedom, so is there really a need to public ally shame her as well?

[Orrex]

50. If she were a man, there would be calls for his castration and death

That seems somewhat worse than a public shaming. We've seen such exhortations on DU many times over. Nothing in all the world is worse than a male pedophile. Hell, even an accused male pedophile deserves nothing but our hatred and rage, and the same goes for anyone who might suggest that the accused has a right to a trial...

Upon reflection, however, I agree that the title almost certainly wouldn't have identified a male teacher as a husband but would certainly have identified him as a father (if he were). As you say, the aggressor in this case will both suffer for and benefit from sexism.

[cbdo2007]

29. Oh great, now I'm going to have to stop at Waffle House on the way home

from work. You just mention "Waffle House" to me and I start having withdrawals.

[wheniwasincongress]

30. Math teacher?

If 1 teacher sleeps with 2 students on 2 separate occasions, what is the number of years the teacher will be in prison?

[Orrex]

36. Has Matt Lauer booked an hour of prime time to interview her yet?

[steve2470]

39. male teacher here

[JPZenger]

47. Instead of "bedroom eyes" that teacher has "restroom stall eyes"

she looks a little scary.

"Hey waitress, can we have some more syrup back here."
