Grading the Newest Sex Scandal Teacher
New Jersey – A FEMALE teacher accused of having a “groping and kissing” affair with a pupil is facing five years in jail for sexting him.
Jenna Leahey, 35, admitted she debauched the lad by swapping sexually-graphic messages … and sending him raunchy, partially nude selfies. …
The brunette, whom the boy claimed abused her while counselling him after a relative died of cancer, told a court yesterday she did not know how many texts were exchanged.
But she agreed there were many.
Judge Salem Ahto asked her: “Were a number of them quite graphic?”
Leahey replied: “They were.” …
[H]is pal claimed the teen told him he and Leahey touched each other’s genitals in a classroom and would do “other physical things.” …
And a colleague of Leahey’s said the boy told him he and Leahey had “made out” while “fooling around” in her car after she drove him home.
Cops said Leahey admitted sending him raunchy texts and touching his privates, but only because he forced her hand on to them.
She also claimed he was abusive with her, would touch her breasts and bottom and put his hand down her pants.
But Leahey, who was also a hockey coach, denied having intercourse while seeing him.
What’s the old saying? No good deed goes unpunished? Here we’ve got Jenna Leahy, who was only trying to help a 16-year-old student through the grieving process, and she’s facing five years in the Stoney Lonesome. And what for? For trying to comfort the kid with “many” “quite graphic” sext messages and nude selfies. For helping him cope with loss by making out with him in a car. For counselling the lad on accepting the mortality of his loved ones by giving him over-the-pants handies. By giving him the kind of spiritual guidance that can only come from a good, back seat finger-blast.
We all grieve in different ways. And I don’t see how a high school English teacher/hockey coach should be wearing orange for the next five years just for trying to help a kid get through a very difficult time the best way she knew how.
The Grades:
Looks: First of all, I can’t believe Jenna Leahy is 35. If they’d said the ink wasn’t dry on her teaching certificate, I would’ve said that sounds about right. Second, yes. Absolutely. She’s got that April Ludgate thing going for her, but with the eyes of a reckless party girl.
Grade: B+
Moral Compass/Bad Judgment: I alone make the rules here, so I ask this rhetorically: Do I have to dock Jenna for the whole “no intercourse” thing? I guess I do. As great as her story is, it would be unfair to all the other Sex Scandal Teachers who have their students ride the Bone Train to award her too many points for her mere 2nd and 3rd base action. But she gets points for the phone messages. It’s a tough call.
Grade: C+
Intangibles: Jenna’s teaching career is over, but she’s got a brilliant future as a Grief Counselor.
Grade: A
Overall: B
