Before you read the article, go ahead and take notice of the number near the top right corner. Coincidence? I think not. If you haven't figured it out yet, it's the number 69. ON WITH THE STORY!
McMINNVILLE, Tenn. (April 12) - A former elementary school teacher who spent six months in jail for having sex with a 13-year-old student was arrested again, this time for violating probation by apparently communicating with the victim.
Pamela Rogers, 28, was arrested Tuesday and released on $10,000 bond. A judge Wednesday ordered her to appear at a July 12 hearing.
Last August, Rogers reached a plea deal to serve nine months on an eight-year sentence, allowing her to avoid a trial on 28 charges of sexual battery and statutory rape. She was released from jail in February for good behavior.
Under terms of the plea deal, she was, among other things, ordered not to contact the victim or his family and not to use the Internet.
Authorities said she violated probation by establishing a Web site through the online social networking hub MySpace.com. The site features a blog that included what authorities said was communication between Rogers and the victim's 17-year-old sister.
Rogers is also accused of issuing a cryptic message to the victim through the Web site by addressing his basketball jersey number, saying he was her hero and that she would not fall in love again for three years.
The Web site also features several pictures of Rogers in a bikini.
District Attorney General Dale Potter said he will seek to have Rogers return to prison to serve the remaining seven years of the original prison term.
"This came in such a short amount of time after she was released on probation and in our opinion these were intentional violations of the terms of her release," Potter said.
Rogers' attorney, Peter Strianse of Nashville, told WSMV-TV he was "very concerned" that Rogers' plea agreement was in jeopardy.
