California teacher's aide who had sex with a high school student will not have to serve prison time or register as a sex offender



A former teacher's aide in Fresno, California, will not have to go prison, even though she had a sexual relationship with a high school student who was then under 17.

In 2015, Theresa Ramirez, now 41, was working as a teacher's aide at Hoover High School when she was hired to tutor an unnamed 16-year-old student who had been diagnosed with ADHD. However, shortly after their tutoring sessions began, the relationship between the two turned sexual.

According to the allegations, Ramirez repeatedly drove the student to her apartment, often during school hours, and the two would have sex in her bedroom. She also had the student's friends over on several occasions, during which time, she served them alcohol and smoked marijuana with them.

Ramirez was then 35 years old.

At some point, the student reported the inappropriate relationship to another teacher's aide who then reported it to the authorities. Ramirez was arrested in 2016 and charged with three felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor, one felony count of oral copulation, and one misdemeanor count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

However, due to some difficulties in prosecuting the case, Ramirez will not have to serve any time in prison or register as a sex offender.

Prosecutor Adam Christopherson admitted that two of the witnesses who could testify to the events that transpired had gone missing. Additionally, the victim in the case had decided not to testify, since he now saw the situation as "difficult and embarrassing," Christopherson said.

In accordance with a plea agreement arranged with the DA's office, Ramirez pled no contest to one felony count of unlawful sex with a minor. She was then sentenced to two years' probation and given a court order not to contact the victim. Under the circumstances, the victim and his family considered the outcome acceptable, Christopherson said.

Jane Boulger, Ramirez's attorney, read a statement in court on behalf of Ramirez, who was reportedly too emotional to speak. In the statement, Ramirez claimed that she was receiving counseling so that she "will never go down this road again." She also expressed regret for the pain that her actions had caused her family, especially her children.

Boulger admitted that Ramirez's sentence may seem "light," but that she has still paid a price from the community.

"[S]he has been imprisoned in another way," Boulger said.

The family of the victim has filed a civil suit against Ramirez and the Fresno Unified School District, a lawsuit which will recommence in October, now that the criminal case has been settled.

Mom 'barged into' third-grade classroom, threatened and cursed out teacher, blocked door preventing teacher, students from leaving: Report



A mother reportedly "barged into'" a third-grade classroom in Fresno, California, earlier this week and threatened physical violence against and hollered curses at the teacher — all in front of students — and even blocked the classroom door, preventing all inside the classroom from leaving.

What are the details?

The incident took place just after 8 a.m. Tuesday at Pyle Elementary School while the teacher was taking attendance, the Fresno Bee reported, citing a Fresno Teachers Association media release.

The parent entered the school while campus gates were open, which allow a “free flow” of students heading to class, district spokesperson Diana Diaz told the paper.

The parent and a teenage girl with her blocked the classroom door, preventing the teacher and her class from leaving the room while yelling and cursing at the teacher, the Bee said, citing the FTA statement.

Another teacher overheard the disturbance and called police, who soon got the parent out of the school, the paper said.

Repeat offender

The teachers' union said it wasn't the first time the parent in question has threatened a teacher, the Bee reported.

“According to teachers, this parent’s behavior and the behavior of her student have been an ongoing concern for nearly three school years, yet district administration has done nothing to address it,” FTA officials said in the release, according to the paper.

Demands

The teachers' union responded to the incident with a list of demands, the Bee said, which include:

  • Trauma support for affected students and staff;
  • A full investigation into how the parent got into the school and classroom, as well as her past behavior;
  • Transferring the parent’s student into independent study for the rest of the school year;
  • A campus safety plan;
  • A district-funded campus assistant.

“Unfortunately, this incident and others like it, are the ugly culmination of Fresno Unified’s unwritten policy of not holding students and adults responsible for their inappropriate behavior,” said Manuel Bonilla, FTA president, according to the paper. “No one deserves to interrupt the learning of our students.”

Pyle's principal began the process of filing a restraining order, Diaz added, according the Bee.

Uptick?

A number of incidents involving criminal behavior of parents on school property have been reported of late:

A 67-year-old woman and her adult daughter stormed into a South Carolina middle school Wednesday to confront students they believed were bullying their relative — and the pair ended up beating three students, none of whom bullied their relative.

A father was involved in a massive brawl with students on an Arizona high school campus earlier this month, after which the dad and a student were arrested. Check out a report on that incident below:

Female corrections officer had sex with inmate while in full view of 11 other prisoners



A former California corrections officer was sentenced this week for having sex with an inmate. Besides having sex with an inmate, the correctional officer at the Fresno County Jail also reportedly provided the prisoner with dangerous contraband.

Tina Gonzalez, 26, was arrested in May 2020 after an inmate at the Fresno County Jail tipped off authorities that she had a sexual encounter with another prisoner and provided him with a cell phone. The vice unit and the internal affairs division of the Fresno County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation into Gonzalez, who worked at the jail from 2016 to 2019.

Gonzalez allegedly had sex inside the jail in full view of 11 inmates, according to the Fresno Bee, which added, "She allegedly cut a hole in her uniform to make it easier to have sex with the inmate she was involved with."

Her former boss, assistant sheriff Steve McComas, told the court that he had seen some "pretty disgusting things" during his 26-years on the job — but nothing as shocking as the behavior of Gonzalez.

"That is something only a depraved mind can come up with," he added. "She took an oath which she betrayed and in doing so endangered her coworkers' lives."

"But she has shown no remorse. She continually calls and has sexually explicit conversations with the inmate in question and boasts about the crimes she carried out," McComas told the court of the ex-correctional officer.

Gonzales also supplied the inmate with razors and advance warnings when his cell was going to be inspected, according to reports. She also allegedly snuck in alcohol to the jail.

Her defense attorney, Martin Taleisnik, said in court, "It was never her intention to bring any harm or danger to the employees in the jail or anyone else in the jail." He added that her marriage falling apart made her vulnerable at the time she had sex with the inmate in jail.

McComas asked that the judge hand down the maximum punishment: three years and eight months in prison.

On Tuesday, Judge Michael Idiart sentenced Gonzalez to two years probation and seven months in the county jail.

"I think what you did was terrible, stupid and you have ruined your career," Idiart said. "But I also believe that people can redeem themselves and you have the rest of your life to do that. Good luck."

In April, Gonzalez pleaded no contest to one count of sexual activity by a detention facility employee with a consenting confined adult, one count of possession of drugs or an alcoholic beverage in a jail facility, and a misdemeanor count of possession of cellular device with intent to deliver to an inmate.

Was a military jet ALMOST used against American citizens?



While Americans were fighting over toilet paper back in March 2020, was the California National Guard preparing an F-15 fighter jet for a "domestic mission?" In this clip, Pat Gray answers this question.

"California National Guard members say a fighter jet was put on standby for a 'possible domestic mission' last year, raising concerns that the military could be used to disperse protesters in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic," Fox News reported.

According to the report, four California National Guard sources told the Los Angeles Times that commanders were concerned citizens violating the stay-at-home orders as well as panic-buying incidents that in some cases led to violence at grocery stores.

"So you put an F-15 fighter jet on notice...have the pilot stand by...because we may need a mission to Kroger?" Pat joked.

The report went on to say that an F-15C fighter was put on alert, which "raised concerns among Guard members that the jet could be used to 'buzz' crowd," the sources alleged.

"Buzz the crowd? Over paper products?" Pat and Keith asked rhetorically. Pat raised questions about the constitutionality of the incident.
