Quote From: gina82What really caught my attention about your post was the fact that rape victims are asked the same question repeatedly to ensure their story never changes, and believe when I say you can't be fuzzy about ANY detail no matter how small.
I was raped by two men and I was interogatted! Not only did the police have DNA evidence, my room mate on record in regards to what she heard and countless pictures taken by the police of bruises and marks on my body some in the shape of a hand BUT I still had to answer the same questions over and over. NOTHING happened to these boys, the police woman handeling it had this to say to me, " ...these boys seem really nice.." I could not believe that after all I had done, all I had been through the police were protecting the guilty parties.
The legal system protects the guilty and harrasses the innocent, and that is DISGUSTING. Joelle is the VICTIM of lies that have ruined her life and has had to fight to keep her teaching license yet is still out of work, is in debt, has a tarnished reputation and her kids have to live with these lies. Yet, its just peachy for the boys to be inconsistent, no one calls them liars, its just fine and dandy that they aren't traumatized nor have they been affected in anyway. WHY AREN'T THESE BOYS SCRUTINIZED, WHY IS IT NOT A BIG DEAL WHEN THE DETAILS CHANGE????? They have nothing but he said she said hear say and they have tons of support; where as a rape victim(myself for example) can have DNA evidence, physical evidence(bruises and marks), and they get nothing but a never ending line of questions and accussations of lying about these "nice" boys(yeah thats why I couldn't sleep in my own room).
Matt and the Mama's boy need to have some idea of what Joelle is going through, they need to be questioned in a more abrassive manner, not this coddling they've been getting. The whole thing makes me sick and is a reminder of how flawed our legal system is.
In the height of racism discrimination against people of
Lebanese origin in Sydney Australia a few years back a young man got a 66
years sentence for gang rape. What he and his friends and members of his family
did was nothing but animal like. Sadly you would think in this modern age that
it not to ask for every crime of this nature be treated in the same manner. Why
is it Authorizes choose to put all their effort into some cases and not others.
So what if the boys were nice. Look at the all the serial killers and serial
rapist the great majority look like nice people. some 25-30 years ago in south Australia
a few boys were killed and sexually assaulted in the most vial disgusting way,
even the father of one of the boys didn’t know what to call his son killer, do
you call then humans-no, do you call then- animal (The Butchered boys case) -
no even animals wouldn't do such deplorable acts. I wouldn’t even call these
types of dirt, because frankly dirt is much to nice a word.
Are the boys going to be charged for perjury, or false allegations,
they did after all not pass a lie detector. These boys knew what they were
doing when they made the allegation. Like I said earlier that victim of rape,
are integrated when they accuse someone of rape, this may be because many have
falsely accused many a man before of rape, when this wasn’t true. I have a friend
who was in the same situation. Only the Police here in Sydney didn’t question this girl enough,
because it didn’t take them long before my friends was taken to the police
station for questioning.
Why isn’t it the same when a baby faced, religious boy from
a ‘good’ family when he accuses a teacher of sexual assault. The world is in
need of good teachers, no one want be a teacher anymore. It was once thought as
a privileged position, now not nearly as much people respect teaching enough to
become teachers. I hope she sue’s the school board and the thrusting families
for all their worth.
(Original Air Date: 11/01/07) Dr. Phil explores a disturbing trend: Female teachers engaging in sex acts with their underage male students. The number of accusations has doubled in the past five years. You've probably heard of famous cases like Mary Kay Letourneau, and Debra LaFave and the recent case of a teacher in Southern California, Meredith Johnson Vincent, who was arrested on suspicion of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy. Dr. Phil meets one teacher who has chosen to fight back. Joelle Ogletree was a respected high school French teacher until she was accused of sexual misconduct by three of her students. Find out what goes through a mother's head as she faces 160 years in prison. Plus, the Dr. Phil show speaks with one of the boys who says the sexual improprieties absolutely did happen and claims he passed a polygraph examination. When he agrees to take another test for Dr. Phil, what do his answers reveal? Joelle has been banned from even volunteering at her daughter's school because of the accusations. Should she be allowed back in the classroom? Watch and decide: Do you believe her ... or her students? Tell us what you think!
