Is There A Florida Epidemic of Female Teachers Sleeping With Their Students

Is There A Florida Epidemic of Female Teachers Sleeping With Their Students?

Another case of an adult female teacher being arrested for admitting to having had sex with her underage male student. Maria Guzman Hernandez, 32, an instructor at the private Our Lady of Charity school in Hialeah, Florida. Her student was only 15.

Other Recent Cases In Florida:
34 year old, Jacksonville, FL., public school, science teacher. She was arrested April of 2009 for allegedly having sex with one of her 14-year-old student. This happened once in her SUV.
32 year old St. Petersburg, FL., teacher arrested in March for allegedly “sexting” nude pictures of herself to an 8th grade boy
45 year old teacher at a private Christian academy in South Daytona, FL., arrested for allegedly having sex with a boy from her class in various Daytona Beach hotels.
And there are more cases…

Other female teachers in Florida have been booked for the same unconscionable crime this year and even more have been arrested or disciplined in the past few years for sexual misconduct with students.

But, don’t forget the men…male teachers still commit far more sexual misconduct than females. A 2004 Education Department study found that about 10% of the nation’s 50 million public school students had experienced some kind of improper sexual attention from teachers and other school employees.

In 2007 Associated Press compiled a report that indicated men were involved almost 90% of the time. What’s more, even in Florida those offenders are a small fraction of the state’s more than 200,000 public and private school teachers.
