Stacy Schuler Not Insane, Sentenced to Four Years for Student Sex Scandal
Stacy Schuler was found guilty today on 16 counts of sexual battery for having sexual relations with five of her students. Schuler tried to plead insanity, but Judge Robert Peeler rejected her plea and sentenced Schuler to four years.
Schuler, a former gym and health teacher at a school in the suburbs of Cincinnati, had sex with five students. On top of the sex charges, Schuler was also convicted of three misdemeanor counts of providing alcohol to minors.
According to the Cincinnati Community Press, the sexual encounters between Schuler and her students, who were about 17 at the time, occurred at her Sprinboro home between August and December 2010. Schuler gave the students vodka smoothies, beer and peach wine. The students also testified that they found Schuler’s home a “safe place” to get high.
Schuler tried a defense of insanity, but the prosecutors weren’t buying it.
Warren County Prosecutor Teresa Hiett said:
“She got drunk and made some really poor choices. Does that mean she’s insane? No. She was the adult. She was the teacher. She had the trust. It’s the relationship between the defendant and the victims that makes this a crime.”
Defense attorney Charlie H. Rittgers said:
“They want us to believe that all of a sudden after 10 years teaching, she wants to throw it away to have sex with five different guys… It’s far more reasonable to believe Stacy was suffering from an underlying psychological disorder.”
Judge Peeler agreed that Schuler suffered from mental problems and possibly had a bipolar disorder, but concluded that voluntary alcohol consumption would not be taken into consideration when determining an insanity plea. Peeler said it would be a “magnificent leap” to say that Peeler didn’t know what she was doing was wrong.
Do you think Stacy Schuler should have been sentenced to more than four years for her crime?

Where were these hot female teachers when I was in school? All we had was a creepy old man Photography teacher who touched the boy's shoulders too much… If my son came home and told me he banged his hot teacher, I'd buy the kid a beer and smack him on the back!

If it was consensual, what the hell is wrong with what she did? Having sex is a crime? What do we live for if we cannot enjoy ourselves? I mean those were 17 year old boys who were also very well aware of what was happening. The American Judiciary & Legal system SUCKS big time…

Well she can have all the sex she wants now, but instead of little boys, she going to get Laquisha for 4 years. Unless she gets traded for some cigarettes of course.

I feel sorry for the teacher, but giving them marijuana before/after/while having sex is not a good thing. Sex is not a crime, except rape. Those boys, of course, were aware of what was happening. So, I don't think they should all blame on the teacher. Your boy was not his old self/in depression/angry at himself or other ppl/being hermit is his own problem, you can't really make it her fault.

If it was a man that did the exact same thing would you feel sorry for the teacher then?

Same thoughts, even if it is a male teacher. Those students (male/female) know what they will get into. There is really not one to be blamed, except themselves for their own deeds.

Yuki Chor Are you for real? The teacher is the adult or so they thought and she is paid to teach the children not have sex with them she betrayed the people of that trusted her to be around there children and she betray her self for what? little bit of sexual gratification pretty damn pitiful when a grown woman has to resort to having sex with the children she is trusted to mentor and teach.
