Deaf Teacher goes to jail for sex with a student

Whew, thanks for the respect...I was thinking AW SHIT, they think I am a monster or something, but your post makes me feel better. I respect you too, and thanks again. Next time I will try to be more careful with what I say.
 
u had yr own opioion and i can understand that but remmy not ALL think alike :)
 
I think Beowulf has the Right to speak her Mind. I am not saying I agree with her but, She is Allow to have An Opinion just like the rest of us....


Now Imo, I am a Parent it still Our Responsible to know what our Child is Doing. It important to have an open Communication so We The Parent can prevent any Future Sexual Relationship with A Teacher. I think Teachers is a Role Model for The Children as Teaching and Helping them Learn. They are Require to act Professional. We put our Trust into Teachers that they would give Our Children a best education and that is the only reason they are there for.
 
Just wanted to add something - I respect Beowulf and his/her opinion, and was glad Beowulf posted because although it was a different perspective than mine, it motivated me to make my own post stating my views regarding the topic. It's important in life to recognize that we all have different beliefs, yet are willing to listen to others' ideals as well - and perhaps learn something.

I agree with you that it is MAINLY the parents' responsibility to warn their children about sexual predators out there. If you do not teach your child NOT to walk up to a stranger in a car who offers candy and the child gets kidnapped or worse, whose fault is that, really, the parents' or the teacher's???
It is so sad that we as a society feel too embarrassed to speak with our precious little ones about sex. Their lives could depend on it!!
 
I remember now.. but i was just saying its usually men, that is all.

Just wanted to clarify for everyone that males molesting boys is not too unusual, but the most common sex abuse is males molesting little girls.
Then there are cases where lesbians have sex with teen girls, and the rarest type of sex abuse is hetrosexual women sexually abusing boys.
Now here's an interesting perspective...whenever something like this happens people think it's disgusting and that the guy is probaly a member of NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association) but on the other hand, our society sees hetrosexual man on younger girl pairings as socially acceptable. Just look at lots of the porn out there that's targeted towards hetro males...it's all about teens, teens and more teens.
Not saying it's OK....I don't think that most younger teens have the maurity to engage in a sexual relationship with an older person. I mean I remember when I was thirteen I knew what sex was, but b/c I was still socially inexperianced and hadn't been through a real relationship yet, I didn't really know about sex as "lovemaking" or a way to tell someone I loved them. At the time I still had teenybopper crushes and didn't think of guys as friends, but more "romatic love interests" (if that makes any sense) At thirteen I still thought I was hetrosexual!(didn't fall in love with a girl until I was fifteen!) However, what if it was an older teen and a younger (20 something) dorm counselor? What if the student was twenty-something? (that's not a huge leap seeing as dhh kids can stay in school until they are twenty-one)
Hey....one of my RDs at my college is lesbian and she's only a few months older then I am. Matter of fact, she does hang out with a lot of the students my age. What if Jill and I started going out?
So much attention is being paid to teachers, for godsake, to the mistakes of a few and how much wwe can punish them. Where were you, parents, in the whole time this was going down? How could the victim be primed for exploitation without your part in it? Or should I say NON-participation in your child's develiopment? Who are we to point fingers of blame without pointing to ourselves as a whole?

Exactly....some people might see this as "victim blaming" ( "Lolita seduced me" sez Humbert Humbert) but on the other hand.....how the HECK could anyone raised right fail to see that sort of relationship is messed up? I know of a girl who was sexually abused by the jr high's gym teacher and she was so naive about what a healthy relationship was. Even I knew more about healthy relationships then the girl did (and I'm pretty young for my age...almost Asperger's Syndromey)
On the other hand, I do know that child molesters tend to molest kids who are loners and are desperately in need of attention.

Yep it is our responsible to teach our Children about safely and plus along other things.. because this can be a danger world and if anything bad happens to our children mostly the parent felt bad about it and be at blame for what happened therefore it important to have our children to be aware of what's out there in the world and what possible could happen...

But, If a Person stated that He is a family or a absent Father and pick up a child at school and if the teacher Let that happen yes they are at blame for what going on at school. Cuz we put Our Kids in the School's hands during the Day, therefore it's their job to make sure our Children are Safe at School.

There was a scandal at a res school between a female dorm counselor and a 16 yr old female student (I dont want to disclose sensitive info with the names since I was there, and knew these people personally) - as far as I know, it was voluntary. But jeez, couldn't they wait when the students come of age?! Nevertheless, this woman went to jail. They sent out letters to all parents. My dad got one, and was like WTF :squint:

Vamp, that classmate of yours that "did" the dummy in front of a teacher is looking better and better.

I agree with Cheri. Once our kids are in school therefore the teachers' in hands watching out for our kids. Yeah thats very true that it is our responsible as parents to teach our kids about private things are their privacy. I have tried to tell my daughter whos 3 years old and it's a little difficult for her to understand it but i do my best to continue telling her with the simple word.

Anyone of you who have taught kids at age 3 and how do you tell them about the private part?

Off the record, that John R who go ahead to the prison. I know him that well as he was in my same college, same classes and others. FYI I never had any relationship with him. I have always know that he's into the pervert things and i thought that's his things in college. I never knew that he worked with kids. I actually am surprised that he went too far for it especially he tried with that young like age 13 that he went with. I thought he knew better but it appears not to. Guess his heart was not there and his mind was there. I can't believe that he have done it too far. :( Because he's a great & fun to be with. He also does care about others but THAT!!! no way!! LIfe is full of mysteries and surprises.

You mean he was open about it?
Maybe he was molested himself. I do remember that research indicates that most child molesters have been sexually abused as kids. (the same circle theory that applies to regular abuse) Well at least the thirteen year old won't become a pedophille and is getting treatment. Actually, the research indicates that child molesters are drawn towards schools, scout leader jobs, coaching and jobs that provide "easy" access to children....UGH!

he admits that he likes to talk about sex things. He never mentioned about his experience in his past. All i know is that he likes GIRLS. He does not try anything with me but talks about it. Maybe he senses that i am not interested in him. In fact, he's a nice guy but jerk to girls who sleeps with him. I still never thought that he would go for 13 years old while he's about 34 years old. well.

I agree with you.. Like the Priest tried to give me a hint by his spread legs with his hole pants. I can see his private right there. I was very uncomfortable and left right away in that room. Until I got older and do concern about the young kids because I do not know where the priest was.
 
All i know is that he likes GIRLS.

Like little girls or teen girls?
That is sick. If he's into girls then how come he molested a boy?
I remember back when I was doing some detective work and trying to clean up Yahoo! Clubs of kiddy porn I discovered a messageboard for boylovers and there was a poster there (from New Hampshire if I recall correctly) who was deaf!

Just general women.
Who says that he went with a guy. I did read the news and it does not say a male student or a girl student. Where did you find that he had sex with boy if he did then i would be totally shocked.

Deaf Teacher Headed To Jail For Sex With Student
Student Is Also Deaf

POSTED: 12:59 pm EDT May 28, 2004

BRATTLEBORO, Vt. -- A former teacher is headed to prison for having sex with a 13-year-old student.

On Friday, John Rehkop got three to eight years each for three counts of sexual assault on a minor.

Rehkop used to teach at the Austine School For the Deaf in Brattleboro.

Both he and the victim are deaf, which made the trial difficult because it had to be heard through sign language interpreters.

Sorry if I bumped up the truly OLD topic but I happen to check this topic out... That is indeed sad because John Rehkop was my former co-worker in Vermont. I used to work with him in the dorm as counselor for approx 8 months before changed my position to other position (one-to-one specialist) and I never know that he would do that to these gals... I know one gal (student) who tend to make up the stories but with different student situations, I guess that student was honest about him with us. What is worse about that, he had a beautiful girlfriend during these mess (if any AD'ers have good memory capability, they surely will remember my old, old 'triangle' topic [I problably got the wrong title...])

That is sad but sick at same time...
 
One thing that I found this news a bit disturbing... I mean this: having sex with a 13-year-old student? To my understanding that it was oral sex but I can guess that it can be called, "having sex with a 13-year-old student" after all...

I wasn't in that court so I don't know anything about that term. Not that I am trying to protest him... I personally dislike him, I used to be his friend for certain duration but right after I found out more about him from his ex-girlfriend and what did he do to her.
