Bad Love

Shelley White, 25, was a geography teacher in the UK. Earlier this year she got busted for kissing a 15 year-old male student on three occasion, and this week was found guilty of abuse of trust by sexual activity with a child. According to details revealed in the case, "on two occasions she put the boy in detention and kissed him in the classroom. Later on she sent him to a store cupboard to find some paperclips and kissed him again."

She is also said to have worn low-cut tops to class and bent down to let students see down her shirt, and, bizarrely, allowed students to lie on the floor when the weather was hot to let them look up her skirt. She denies this. After the first time she kissed her student, she is reported to have said, "I can't believe I have done that. That was so stupid. I have jeopardised everything."

But of course, she denies that she was the instigator of the episodes with her student, and claims that he was the aggressor and that she was the victim. The sassy judge said, "Shelley White, you have throughout this trial portrayed yourself as a victim. It's fair to say that you are a victim, but not a victim, as you put it, of your friends, the boy, and the press, but a victim of your own stupidity."

Since the spring, when the events of her case took place, White has married her boyfriend, who is also a teacher. Lucky guy.
