Female teacher who had sex with 14-year-old student should get lighter sentence since boy was 'willing participant,' lawyers said
It's an indication that perhaps the child was manipulated into engaging in sexual activity'
A female middle school teacher who had sex with a 14-year-old male student should receive a lighter sentence since the boy was a "willing participant," according to a motion filed by her attorneys, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.
Stephanie Peterson, 27, pleaded guilty Oct. 16 to lewd and lascivious battery sex act with a child, a second-degree felony, and electronic transmission of material harmful to minors, a third-degree felony, the paper said. She was a teacher at Florida's New Smyrna Beach Middle School.
A plea agreement allowed Peterson's attorneys to argue to the judge for a lower prison sentence than the five-year minimum listed in the agreement; the maximum sentence was 10 years, the News-Journal said.
And on Wednesday she was sentenced to three years in prison, the paper said in a new story, noting that Peterson's lawyers dropped their 14-year-old-as-"willing participant" argument and focused instead on her bipolar disorder as a reason to hand down a lighter sentence.
'Willing participant' is problematic argument
Stetson College of Law professor Charlie Rose told the News-Journal that attorneys insisting a 14-year-old was a "willing participant" in sex with an adult isn't a good idea, particularly when Florida's age of consent is 18.
"The child is below the age of legal consent for sexual activity with an adult so the fact that they were a willing participant, in my mind, is actually an escalator," Rose added to the paper. "It's an indication that perhaps the child was manipulated into engaging in sexual activity. It does not make the crime less culpable."
Here's a news report that aired after Peterson's arrest earlier this year:

Baltimore Woman Says She Will Use Gun Buyback Cash To Purchase Bigger Gun
One woman is planning to take advantage of Baltimore’s new gun buyback program by using the cash from the city to purchase a brand new weapon.
The Baltimore City Police Department started its gun buyback program Monday and said they were able to purchase more than 500 firearms from residents. The Police Department offered anywhere from $25 to $500 depending on the type of firearm.
One woman told FOX45 that she was planning to surrender her 9mm handgun to the buyback program, but had a unique idea of what she would do with her newly obtained cash.
“She says she is using the cash to get a bigger weapon!” Kathleen Cairns reported.
Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh said about the program, “Our point here is, there are guns on the streets of our city. We are signaling folks out there, we don’t care if its grandpa’s gun or your gun, we want it.”
The buyback program is taking place amid a spike in gun violence in Baltimore. In 2017, Baltimore had a gun homicide rate double that of Chicago’s.

TRUMP BORDER WALL GoFundMe Page Breaks $1 Million in Donations in 3 Days! … Despite Being Censored!!
A Florida-based triple amputee veteran has created a GoFundMe push to fund President Trump’s border wall through donations from the public.
Brian Kolfage, who launched the GoFundMe, has also been an active free speech advocate who has spoken against censorship on digital media platforms.
Kolfage promises that he will make sure the United States government will be legally required to spend the donations on the wall and only the wall.
The GoFundMe page passed $1 million in donations on Wednesday afternoon.
It had raised $500K earlier this morning.
— The GoFundMe page is being censored.
Brian Kolfage, the triple amputee Air Force veteran who is behind the #GoFundTheWall effort on GoFundMe, told The Gateway Pundit that he believes the crowdfunding site has begun censoring the fund to build the wall along our southern border.
In an update to supporters of the campaign, which is barrelling towards $700k in the first 48 hours, he alleges that it is becoming increasingly harder to find the #GoFundTheWall page through the search tool on GoFundMe. Kolfage is urging people to share the direct link on social media and with prospective donors in order to avoid confusion.
“GoFundMe removed our Trump Wall campaign from their top list. We are the top fundraiser right now and they removed it from the list. We were front and center on their homepage. Do they not want us to succeed?
Why are they suppressing us? Just like Facebook & Twitter have done, now GoFundme?
NOTE: They haven’t stopped us from fundraising. They just made it difficult for people to find us.”

Illinois Finds Catholic Church Hid Abuse Accusations Against 500 More Priests
Preliminary findings from the Illinois Attorney General, Lisa Madigan, in an investigation into abuse at Catholic churches in the state, were released on Wednesday.
The attorney general's findings revealed that the state's six Roman Catholic dioceses have withheld the names of 500 clergymen accused of misconduct, local media reports. The report is said to be highly critical of the state's six Roman Catholic dioceses, ripping into them for failing to properly investigate sexual abuse allegations against the clergymen and in some cases not investigating the claims at all.
"In the four months since the Office opened this investigation, the Illinois Dioceses have acknowledged that they are aware of an additional forty-five previously undisclosed clergy who they deemed to be 'credibly' accused of sexually abusing minors," the report says.
Dioceses in the state publicly identified "only 185 clergy as having been 'credibly' accused of sexual abuse." More than 500 clergy were subjects of sexual abuse complaints. That means 26 percent of the total 690 allegations against clergymen were deemed credible. It also means that 74 percent of the allegations were "either not investigated, or were investigated but not substantiated."
The report also singled out the dioceses' failure to notify child welfare workers in the state of a number of allegations.
They "failed in its moral obligation to provide survivors, parishioners and the public a complete and accurate accounting of all sexually inappropriate behavior involving priests in Illinois," the report states.
"The findings also provide a critical document for discussion as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops plan to meet for a week-long retreat in Mundelein in January," it adds.
"I want to express again the profound regret of the whole church for our failures to address the scourge of clerical sexual abuse," the Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich said in a statement following the attorney general's report. "It is the courage of victim-survivors that has shed purifying light on this dark chapter in church history."
