You are no better than the man who ruined your career and your reputation. Actually he at least could have actually been concerned about his students while you on the other hand have no legitimate reason to make sure stories like this reach as many people as possible. You can't wait to cut and paste any disgusting perverted details that may be in an indictment. You let the district win because you are no longer that fun loving tie dye t shirt wearing middle aged teacher that would play with his band during school activities. You became a bitter sad man who wants to take down as many people as possible.

So 8:52, are you saying he shouldnt repost this? Are you on something? This lady quit and currently there is a warrent for her arrest. And you think its not worth reporting? Put your crack pipe down and get a grip! And if you were wondering if someone reading you comment thinks your are dumb, yes you are.

11:26 I totally get what 8:52 is saying. Turner had so much to say about what happened to him and for him to turn around and over and over blog about people who haven't been proven guilty and some people who were never charged for anything. Not only does he blog but he actually seems to be on a mission to be the first one. Some of the things he has posted he would literally have to be actively searching for info - like every single day. Some of what he posts isn't on the federal court website even today - he would have to log into the court systems and just search daily - for every name on his list - until he hits the jackpot and finds something that happened that day. He only posts the DWI arrests - why? Anyone can look it up on Joplin police dept website so he isn't uncovering anything. Since he was somewhat ostracized by rumors he has turned this blog into a mostly criminal reporting site. There is no actual investigating or journalism skills here - just cut and paste, cut and paste.
I would just think he would not want to participate in the witch hunt mentality that happens here after being a victim of it himself.

Keep up the good work Randy.30 years ago(my junior year in high school), I had sex with a teacher at East Newton. Later I learned I was one of many.I don't think this is a laughing matter. And I am glad these people are finally being exposed. Girls and boys alike need to be assured of their protection from such predators.

According to the student, they spent two "romantic" hours in her office. First, who can do THAT for two hours? Second, what mother of 3 young children who works 50-60 hours a week WANTS to do THAT for two hours? Third, in an office?! And, again, for two hours?! I'm curious whether they were they snuggling on the carpet or on her desk for the 1 hour and 55 minutes following. If you ask me, this sounds like a kid who has watched a few too many "movies". Two hours in an office. Right.

Do you really want these accusations "hidden"?

The initial posting/story was based on a criminal charge filed against Ms. Njoroge BY the "State of Missouri."

Don't you want to know what the prosecutor is doing in YOUR name?

Others have wondered what the big deal is, since the "victim" is 18 and, therefore, old enough to "consent" to sexual contact.

But Ms. Njoroge was charged under a 2005 state law (modified in 2008 and again in 2011) that says the age of consent makes no difference ... because it's against state law for a public school teacher, student teacher, school employee, volunteer, elected or appointed official, or a district contractor's employee to have "sexual contact with a student."

It's a Class D felony, and a conviction can result in a prison sentence of up to 4 years ... AND an automatic requirement to register as a Sex Offender.

Don't you think THAT's worth reporting .... on a blog, on the radio and TV and in a newspaper?

It is a class D felony to do what she was accused of doing. Unfortunately for all of you who have assumed that she did it, you're spreading a lie. As one of Carrie's best friends, I can attest that if she had done it, she would be ridden with guilt and confess. She told me herself that the accusations are false. In fact, she won teacher of the year in Webb City this year because of the way she has served her school, her students, and their families. She was weeping to me tonight, yes, about how this has ruined her life, but also about how her dream to stand in the gap for troubled kids has been ruined. This kid should go to jail and get a taste of his own medicine for destroying my dear friend's life. As a teacher, I know. The state had NO choice but to press charges. They are required to do so in all accusations whether there is proof or not. Don't call her guilty when there has been no trial. I would be right here with you, disgusted at anyone who would actually do this. But I would wait for a verdict. She didn't do it. 100 percent innocent. Stop spreading poison and helping this moron of a kid ruin her life.

She did it. There's proof! Haha

There's proof? Have you personally seen the evidence? Have you personally seen the proof? If you can PERSONALLY prove it, you have the right to say it. If you can't you can't, you might just be ruining someone's life. And you say "haha" about that? You need a lesson in basic life skills.

The state does not have "no choice but to press charges." The state does an investigation that will either be substantiated or unsubstantiated. If unsubstantiated, meaning there is no physical evidence or conrete proof of wrongdoing, they will not pursue legal action. Even if the story is believable and you know the accusations are true, with no evidence, there is no charge. If they pressed charges, then they have something they think can be used to convict.
