Teacher
accused of sexual relationship with student
San Bernardino County Sun, California, USA, By JANNISE JOHNSON, Staff
Writer, March 10, 2003
RANCHO CUCAMONGA U.S.A.- The District
Attorney's office is expected to file charges against a
31-year-old Rancho Cucamonga High School history teacher and
basketball coach who was arrested on suspicion of having a
physical relationship with one of her 16-year-old female
students.
On
Sunday, the girl's parents called deputies and reported that
Stacy Lynn Behrmann was involved in a consensual relationship
with their daughter, said sheriff's spokeswoman Staci Johnson.
The
girl's name was withheld because of her age and the nature of
the allegations.
Behrmann
is a history and government teacher as well as a girl's
basketball and tennis coach. She is on paid administrative
leave from the school district as of Monday, Superintendent
Barry Cadwallader said.
Behrmann
was arrested Sunday and booked into West Valley Detention
Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of lewd and lascivious
acts with a child. She has posted a portion of the $100,000
bond, Johnson said.
Police
say the sexual contact occurred at Behrmann's apartment in the
7900 block of Elm Street in Rancho Cucamonga.
Behrmann
could not be reached Monday for comment.
"She
was a really nice person,' said one female student who did not
wish to give her name.>
The
principal of the high school was off campus Monday, and
Assistant Principal David Munoz also refused to answer
questions about Behrmann or allow her students to be
questioned.
"We
just don't know a lot of information right now,' Munoz said.
Munoz
was worried Monday about word getting out to students about
the nature of the charges before they had a chance to watch
the television newscasts and discuss it with their families.
"She
seemed all right,' Hernandez said. "Yeah, she was cool.'
Hernandez
said she had tried out for the softball team some time ago,
but wasn't picked for the team Behrmann coached.
While
she didn't play sports for Behrmann's teams, she did say she
was somewhat acquainted with her, Hernandez said.>
Sheriff's
officials say they haven't heard of relationships involving
any other students and Behrmann.
"As
of right now, we do not have any other victims,' Johnson said.
Other
San Bernardino County teachers have been accused of similar
acts.
Tanya
Hadden, a 31-year-old biology teacher at Cajon High School in
San Bernardino, had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old
male student and took him to Las Vegas for sex last year.
She
was sentenced to probation in Nevada but is still facing
charges in San Bernardino County.
William
Brakemeyer, a teacher at A.B. Miller High School in Fontana
turned himself in in December after a 17-year-old boy accused
him of inappropriate sexual contact while the two were at a
Redlands church in September.
Brakemeyer
was put on administrative leave after the allegations
surfaced.
Three
years ago, Lorna Louise Korber, then a teacher at Claremont
High School, admitted to having sex with a 17-year-old girl
who was enrolled in her peer counseling class at the time.
Korber
reached a plea agreement with prosecutors which allowed her to
serve a year in county jail and five years probation.
Read the double standard by the author of this article because the sex offender was female
The biased words highlighted below should be "sexual assault", "raped" or similar type words NOT "sexual relationship" or "had sex"
A trusted, even respected or beloved teacher is accused of having a
sexual relationship with a student.
What used to shock us, but is now much too commonplace, is that the
teacher is a woman.
Their names become tabloid headlines: Mary K. Letourneau, Debra
Lafave, Pamela Diehl-Moore and others.
And now two more cases, both local.
Jennifer Leigh Rice, a 31-year-old former Tacoma teacher, was charged
with having sex with a 10-year-old boy who had been in her fourth-grade
class. The boy's father says she lavished the boy with attention until
she was told not to come to their house anymore.
So she abducted the boy, police say, drove him to a highway rest stop
outside Ellensburg and had sex with him. After her arrest in early
August, Rice said she'd had sex with the boy four or five times,
including once when she sneaked into his house as his parents slept.
Earlier this year, former Tenino math teacher Dawn Welter, 38, was
charged with second-degree sexual misconduct after spending the night at
a motel with a 16-year-old female student. Her lawyer explained her
relationship with the student as "horseplay that became sexual."
Hundreds of them.... female teachers who sexually
assaulted 12 year old boys. Read about a lesbian tennis coach who sexually
assaulted her 13 year old female student.
Read how a 40 year old female sexual predator blamed a 7 year old boy whom she claimed was "coming on to me" and whom she "hoped to marry someday."

The men are often fed Viagra and one even watched as his semen was put into vials and frozen in a cool box
The Sun, UK, Jamie Pyatt, Corey Charlton, May 30, 2017
DETECTIVES believe a gang of three women who kidnapped a man and put him through a three day rape ordeal may have struck a number of times before in South Africa.
Officers are to look at up to SEVEN cases in recent years where a male has been kidnapped – sometimes at gunpoint – by three women who have then repeatedly raped him.
The men are often fed Viagra in an energy drink to make them perform and one victim of a three woman gang watched as his semen was put into small vials and frozen in a cool box.
One cop involved in one of the investigations said he believe there was a trade in selling the stolen semen to faith healers or "witch doctors" who use it to make "magic" potions.
The latest attack in Pretoria - the country's capital - has led police to appeal for other potential victims to spare their blushes and report it.
Although at least seven cases have been on police files for several years, many more are believed to have gone unreported as men are often too embarrassed to report being raped by women.
The Sun Online told earlier how the latest kidnap victim was found traumatised and exhausted after being dumped in a field semi-naked and told officers about his 72-hour sex ordeal.
The 23-year-old man said he was in a 15 seater communal taxi in which three young women were already travelling and he was told by the driver to sit in the front beside him.
Police spokesperson Captain Colette Weilbach said: "One of the women the allegedly injected him with an unknown substance and he passed out and woke up in an unfamiliar room.
VANCOUVER - Canada's largest study into the sexual exploitation of street
kids and runaways has shattered some myths about who the abusers might be
- with the most surprising finding being that many are women seeking sex
with young males.
"Some youth in each gender were exploited by women with more than three
out of four (79 per cent) sexually exploited males reporting exchanging
sex for money or goods with a female," said Elizabeth Saewyc, associate
professor of nursing at the University of British Columbia and principal
investigator for the study conducted by Vancouver's McCreary Centre Society.
"I must admit it wasn't something we were expecting."
PITTSBURGH (AP) - A western Pennsylvania mother has been charged with
giving her 13-year-old daughter drugs and alcohol so the woman's
boyfriend could impregnate the girl without her knowing, police said
Thursday.
Shana Brown, 32, is no longer able to have children but wanted to
have a baby with her current boyfriend, Duane Calloway, said Uniontown
Police Detective Donald Gmitter. The pair decided to drug the girl so
Calloway, 40, could have sex with her, he added.
"There's some sick people on this case," Gmitter said.
Brown has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child,
turned herself in Thursday and was being held in the Fayette County
jail, police said. Brown's attorney did not return a call for comment.
Calloway faces several counts of attempted rape. He was arrested
Wednesday and remains in jail. It was not immediately clear whether he
had an attorney.
The three attacks occurred in Brown's home in Uniontown, about 50
miles south of Pittsburgh, according to the criminal complaint.
Because we assume women never commit child sexual abuse, we treat one who is accused with disproportionate disgust
The Guardian, UK
June 11, 2009
About 20 years ago, I gave a talk about sexual abuse to the RAF.
At the end, a young airman came up to me and said, "It's not just
men, you know," before hurriedly walking away. That pulled me up
sharp. Up till then, like most people working in the area of sexual
abuse, I'd always assumed the abusers were men.
This just isn't so. We can't be sure of the precise prevalence of
sexual abuse by women, as there hasn't been enough research into the
subject. Academics have just assumed it doesn't happened. But
conservative estimates suggest that 5% of girls and 20% of boys who
have reported being abused have been abused by women.
From my own research - I have had 800 cases reported to me - I
believe the more likely figure is that it is 20% of all sexual abuse
that is done by women.
It is women themselves who have done most to propagate this
conspiracy of silence. It has almost become a feminist axiom that it
is men who are to blame for abuse and that if women are in some way
implicated, it is only because they have somehow been forced or
controlled into doing so against their will. Again, this turns out
to be completely incorrect: 75% of the cases reported to me involved
women acting on their own.

OVERALL NEGLECT OF FEMALE SEXUAL OFFENCES

LITERATURE REVIEW ON FEMALE SEX OFFENDERS
Although there is an increasing literature on male sex offenders,
there is a noticeable dearth of information concerning female sex
offenders. Most of the work in the area has come from three of the
largest prison programs for female sex offenders in Missouri, Minnesota,
and Kentucky.
OVERALL NEGLECT OF FEMALE SEXUAL OFFENCES
For a variety of societal reasons, female sexual abuse is likely to
remain unnoticed. Some researchers have found that the incidence of
sexual contact with boys by women is much more prevalent than is
contended in the clinical literature (Condy, Templer Brown & Veaco,
1987). Despite society's increasing concern about sexual assault, there
may be several reasons for the under-reporting of female sexual abuse of
both child and adult victims. Traditionally, society has held
preconceptions of women as non-violent nurturers. Women in general, and
mothers mopre specifically, have more freedom than men to touch children
(Marvasti, 1986). Therefore, a man may be mpre easily perceived as
abusive when touching a child than when a woman touches a child in a
similar manner (Plummer, 1981). Further, sexual offences perpetrated by
women are often incestuous in nature and children may be reluctant to
report sexual contact with a parent on whom they are dependent (Groth,
1979). Health care workers are often unable to detect mother-child
incest as mothers often accompany their children to the doctor's office.
This may serve as a barrier to detecting sexual abuse of the child
(Elliott & Peterson, 1993). The medical profession is only reluctantly
becoming sensitive to the fact that females can, in fact, be
perpetrators of sexual abuse (Wilkins, 1990; Krug, 1989).
EXAMEN DE LA DOCUMENTATION SUR LES DÉLINQUANTES SEXUELLES
La documentation sur les délinquants sexuels s'accroît alors que
l'information sur les délinquantes sexuelles est clairement déficiente.
La plupart des travaux en ce domaine proviennent de trois des programmes
les plus importants établis pour les délinquantes sexuelles au Missouri,
au Minnesota et au Kentucky.
DÉSINTÉRESSEMENT GÉNÉRAL À L'ÉGARD DES INFRACTIONS SEXUELLES
COMMISES PAR DES FEMMES
Pour diverses raisons sociales, les mauvais traitements sexuels
infligés par les femmes demeurent généralement cachés. Certains
chercheurs ont découvert que l'incidence des contacts sexuels entre des
femmes et des garçons est beaucoup plus élevée que ne l'estime la
documentation clinique (Condy, Templer Brown et Veaco, 1987). En dépit
du fait que la société se préoccupe de plus en plus de l'agression
sexuelle, plusieurs raisons pourraient faire que l'on parle moins des
cas de mauvais traitements sexuels infligés par des femmes à des enfants
ou à des adultes. La société a toujours perçu les femmes comme des
nourricières non violentes. Les femmes en général, et surtout les mères,
ont plus de latitude pour toucher les enfants que les hommes (Marvasti,
1986). Par conséquent, un homme qui touche un enfant de la même manière
que le fait une femme peut être plus facilement perçu comme un agresseur
(Plummer, 1981). En outre, les infractions sexuelles commises par des
femmes sont souvent de nature incestueuse et les enfants peuvent hésiter
à dénoncer un contact sexuel avec un parent dont ils dépendent (Groth,
1979). Les travailleurs du domaine de la santé sont souvent incapables
de déceler les cas d'inceste entre l'enfant et la mère car cette
dernière accompagne souvent l'enfant au bureau du médecin. Cela peut
empêcher de dépister les mauvais traitements sexuels infligés à l'enfant
(Elliott et Peterson, 1993). La profession médicale prend à contrecoeur
conscience du fait que les femmes peuvent en fait infliger de mauvais
traitements sexuels. (Wilkins, 1990; Krug, 1989).

SAKAI, Osaka -- A woman accused of cutting off her newborn son's private
parts in 2004 was ordered Monday to spend five years behind bars.
The Sakai branch of the Osaka District Court convicted Shizue Tamura,
27, a resident of Izumi, Osaka Prefecture, of inflicting bodily injury.
"The way she committed the crime was unprecedented, inhumane and
cruel," Presiding Judge Masahiro Hosoi said as he handed down the ruling.
Prosecutors had demanded an eight-year prison term.

After Plymouth case shocked the nation, police say number of women abusing children
The Guardian UK and The Observer
4 October 2009
Researchers from the Lucy Faithfull Foundation (LFF), a
child protection charity that deals with British female sex
offenders, said its studies confirmed that a "fair proportion" of
child abusers were women. Donald Findlater, director of research and
development, said results indicated that up to 20% of a conservative
estimate of 320,000 suspected UK paedophiles were women.
MORRISTOWN, N.J. - A 35-year-old seventh-grade teacher was charged with having sex with one of her students at least 20 times at the teacher's home.
Jodi Thorp, 35, surrendered to authorities Monday on charges of aggravated sexual assault, aggravated sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a child. Prosecutors claim she had sex with the boy at her Mendham home between June 2001 and September 2002. The boy is now 15.
A married primary schoolteacher was jailed for 15 months yesterday after admitting having sex with an underage
teenage boy.
Hannah Grice, 32, pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to two counts of indecent assault on the boy, who was aged
14 and 15 at the time of the offences.
Sentencing her at Stafford crown court, Judge John Shand told Grice, from Cannock, Staffordshire, she had abused
her position of trust.
"Cases such as this are, of course, made worse by the fact that you were a member of the teaching profession," he
told her. "You should have been very sensitive indeed to child welfare issues." Grice was also ordered to register
as a sex offender for 10 years. Read More ..
Females Convicted of Sexual Assault automatically get
lighter sentences
The mother of one victim said after Bromiley was jailed: "If I could
get hold of her I'd kill her. She stole my son's childhood and he's now
in a terrible state and has threatened suicide. She got away lightly and
should have got at least 10 years."
Judge David Hale explained that he was constrained
by the law which only allows for specific charges to be brought when the
offender is a woman. Had she been male, he said, the sentence would have
been in double figures.
He said: "As a house mother you were in charge of children who were
mentally and educationally disadvantaged and you took your own advantage
of them for your own needs and sexual pleasure. This is the worst case of
a woman abusing children in her care any court in the land has had to face."

A surprising 86% of survivors of sexual
abuse were not believed when they said the abuser was a woman.
Many myths were exposed, such as the one that women only sexually abused
when coerced by men - they in fact played the lead part. Also the myth that
women are incapable of cruelty - what was shown was beyond belief.
Women commit 25% of all child sexual abuse
250,000 children in UK have been sexually abused by women
Women in our society have been portrayed as victims, but somewhere within
their victimisation they have learned that to abuse children gave them a
sense of power, control, agency, and therefore they use the abuse of children
to gain those things.
Jacqui Saradjiam: (clinical psychologist)
I think people find it so difficult to see that women sexually abuse children
because the whole view of women is of nurturers, carers, protectors - people
who do anything to look after children - and they see the women as victims
rather than enemies or perpetrators of any abuse.
Michelle Elliott: (Director - children's charity Kidscape)
I think the issue strikes at the core of what we perceive ourselves as women
to be. I think that it's easier to think that it's men - men the enemy,
somehow - but it can't be women - it's one thing women can't do. Women can
be equal, we can be free, we can be in charge of companies, but we can't
sexually abuse children - That's a load of rubbish.
