Reports the Chicago Tribune today, Plainfield North High School gym teacher Ashley Blumenshine was arrested after police approached a Kohl's store where she and a student were having sex Tuesday night.
Bizarrely, although she has admitted to the sexual acts, she will plead not guilty.
As many of the commentators of the Tribune have already pointed out, the fact that she faces a mere three-to-seven years imprisonment seems utterly absurd. Nearby the U of ILL in Urbana, Jon A. White has received forty-eight (an additional twelve for students abused in normal). Granted, Blumenshine ostensibly only stands charged for one count whereas White was found guilty of eight. Nevertheless, we share the posters expectation that "three-to-seven years" will be more to the tune of "three-to-seven months."
Unsurprisingly, there is no comment from the IFT, nor the IEA. A search made by we Hounds can find her in no listing for either affiliation.
[[Update 1-6-11]] The Tribune now states that Blumenshine has posted $75,000 bond. After the recent strings of exposes on the blight of the supposedly-underpaid educator, one must wonder where she retrieved such an amount (easily above the average ILL citizen salary (before taxes) so quickly?
