Summary May 23, 2007
ARRESTED
Westview Middle School's 2007 Teacher of the Year was arrested for having sex with a female student. Kanesa Hopkins, now 31, was 28 when she is alleged to have had a sexual relationship with the 14-year-old girl. Hopkins also faces one count of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in nearby North Charleston, where she previously lived. The school board fired her.

SUBSTITUTES ARRESTED
Titus Wayne Loux, 71, a substitute teacher, was on charges of importuning, a felony, and menacing by stalking, a misdemeanor, for attempting to solicit sex from a teenage neighbor boy. (Ohio)

A substitute teacher in Florida, Ken Walling, was arrested for lewd or lascivious exhibition. Two 14-year-old boys said he exposed himself to them at his home several times last year. We're rapidly coming to the conclusion that ALL substitutes should be required to take a lie detector test prior to employment.

SENTENCED
We said when we posted the first story that, "In the annals of shamelessness, this one rates right up there." Victor Labarron Payne, 36, had a sexual relationship with an 11-year-old girl that lasted a year. The jury found him guilty in March despite his bizarre defense. He was sentenced to 21 years. (And still another trial to go with another victim.) We have no problem calling him a filthy predator.

Another filthy pervert, Patrick Bogan, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography. Not one dirty picture, but "five cabinets in Bogan’s residence, including one that contained 49 videotapes and discs with hundreds of sexually explicit images of children. They also found several pairs of little girl panties. They also found news articles on kidnapping, child killers and molesters being sentenced, as well as evidence that he was part of an international child porn ring." (Maryland)

IN OTHER NEWS
Scientology has started conducting classes in Baton Rouge. And elsewhere. The newspaper reports that Hubbard's study tech now is licensed for use in 738 private schools, community centers and after-school or tutoring programs. The loveliness of Scientology can be seen in BBC's Panorama program. (link provided at our link.)
