Another Teacher Nabbed For Student Sex

FEBRUARY 8--Meet Pamela Joan Turner.

The 27-year-old Tennessee woman is the latest teacher to be arrested for allegedly carrying on a sexual relationship with a student, in this case a 13-year-old boy.

Turner, a gym instructor at Centertown Elementary School, was charged this week with 13 counts of statutory rape and 15 counts of sexual battery for encounters with the child, which allegedly occurred at school and in the boy's home. If convicted of the numerous felonies, Turner could face decades in prison.

Here is an excerpt from the 28-count indictment returned against Turner, who is pictured at left in a Warren County Sheriff's Department mug shot. (6 pages)
