"I don't want to wear an orange jumpsuit," teacher told boy
Too bad; she's shown in today's paper wearing an orange jumpsuit. Here's the latest on Stephanie Ragusa. (St. Petersburg Times)

This all seems so weird. When I read about most of these women "preditors" they appear to be really screwed up mentally and emotionally...they act like little kids, they talk like little kids...its like they aren't even living in reality.
Male preditors seems like they KNOW having sex with under aged kids is wrong but it makes them horny so they don't give a damn about the outcome, the desire for that perversion out weighs the fear of being caught.
With the women...it seems like they're seriously lacking mental facilities....

Cherie - I agree totally. It's as though in her mind she's 14 as well. This girl has some serious and deeply seated mental issues.

Cherie, I can agree with that. It's as though these women think they're still teenagers, but the guys are turned on by the danger--although that smacks a little of immaturity as well.

It's all so nutty, it can easily be confused with a piece of sh*t.

I gotta say, she looks a little cute in that orange jumpsuit.

LOL @ twerp!

I just can't stay mad at her...

"Authorities didn't learn anything was amiss until this March, when a student alerted Davidsen officials that Ragusa had been sexually involved with students."
That better have been a girl that squealed. Every guy knows you shouldn't come between a boy and his ho.

Forget about the sex ofr a minute. How can a 26 year old teacher afford a Lexus SUV? I thought they were all horrendously underpaid and spent all their money on chalk and construction paper.

I hate this woman with a passion. Someone sew her vag shut with fishing line.

I think the point we are missing is this: woman or not, this adult (27 year old) had sex with a 14 year old (and at least one other minor child). It shouldn't matter whether she is a woman or a man. As a therapist who works with kids and adults, I can tell you this type of action can have devastating affects on a young person. I don't doubt for a minute that this woman has issues and needs therapy. So do male perpetrators. That doesn't mean they should be allowed to continue damaging others. I'm all about sympathy for others, but not to the point of failing to protect others.

OMG, go to the link that mak provided. She's been arrested again and is holding up four fingers(she's now been arrested four times)in her smiling mug shot. She's disgusting. She's is so proud of her conquests. What a nut. They need to throw away the key.

Unlike men, women can and should repress their sexual desires until marriage. That said, anyone, regardless of gender, who molests a minor, should be taken out back and shot.
Society has become sexually confused. I tell my single male friends they should only have oral or anal sex with the women they date to avoid being drawn into a "baby mama" trap. Most women who sleep with men outside of marriage are trying to get pregnant and trick the man into marriage or, at least, get money from him for child support, etc. Men need appropriate and legal outlets for their sexual drives. Women, not so much.

Hahahaha...see? When your laws are stupid, people won't respect them. This woman kicks ass.
Posted by: Sean, Torrington CT | May 9, 2008 10:49:04 AM
Wait just a minute here, she's got a boyfriend *and* she's banging a gaggle of teenage boys?
Perhaps its time to turn down the volume on Radio Libido.

SHE DOES NOT LOOK BAD IN ORANGE.

Lesson #1: DO NOT TALK ON THE PHONE ABOUT YOUR ILLEGAL ACT. Don't people ever learn? Never talk on the phone (they even tell you that in the film Good Fellas, for cripes sake); you never know who's listening on the other end. And if you do talk on the phone, do it from a phone that is not yours. You know, these days, they even have disposable phones. That is definitely why she deserves to be caught (sure, the sex is bad too, blah blah, but think about it).
Lesson#2: If you are warned not to go into X profession because of allegation concerns, maybe, just maybe, you should listen to them.
Dumb criminals.

"most women who sleep with men outside of marriage are trying to get pregnant"
ok, that's a big fat Noooo.
I got pregnant a few years after I was married and even days before I found out that I was pregnant, I told people that I didn't want to have kids. My son was unplanned but the minute I found out I was pregnant, my life COMPLETELY changed. I decided that I was going to be the best mom I can be...yeah, I've made a few mistakes but what parent hasn't? We learn through our mistakes. I fell in love with my son the minute I found out I was pregnant...it's weird but I did. I got excited and happy....and I never thought that a baby would make me happy but he really did. I thought a baby would be a nuissance but the minute I found out that I was pregnant, that all went away. I just can't describe it.
SO NO, women do not use sex to "trap men" or to "become moms."
I wanted to be single into my 30s. That totally didn't happen.

Dick T.is so over the top I can't believe much of anyone actually think he believes any of the crap he spews. He sounds exactly like I do when I am trying to get a rise out of people. You all really believe that he doesn't bathe for two weeks at a time because he likes crotch stank? You all's reaction to him has me laughing my ass off.

twerp...we had similar experiences. Got pregnant at 20. Unplanned and initially unwanted...but abortion just didn't seem like an option to me. I also fell in love with my son the moment I found out I was pregnant. Not only was I NOT trying to trap a man, I didn't marry his father OR ever ask the guy for a dime of child support. My son is 22 now and while parenting sure as hell isn't easy, I've NEVER regretted my choice.
Thank God this ridiculous chick didn't get knocked up by any of her students...
Also...didn't anyone wonder about her Boyfriend? He "warns her not to get into teaching"? So he obviously knows she has an issue with underage boys?? Weird Weird Weird! Wonder how old her bf is?

After reading the age gap, all I could think of was Ashton & Demi. Lady ya need to wait a few years for the guy, then you would be considered a 'cougar'...
...otherwise, it's just plain YUCK!

But for the record....
I think even that is weird!
Posted by: Anna | May 10, 2008 2:41:53 PM
Ugh, I can not for the life of me figure out what is sexually appealing about a teenage boy. Pimples, underdeveloped muscles, insecurities, big mouths and the fact that they live with their parents should be enough to turn off any self respecting woman! Maybe that's the problem, these women don't respect themselves....
