Grading the Newest Sex Scandal Teacher
Arkansas – A former high school teacher in Arkansas accused of sleeping with four different students —two of them in the same night — stood before a judge Wednesday.
Jessie Lorene Goline, 25, faces one count of first-degree sexual assault, Arkansas Online reported.
Four students — three from Marked Tree School District and one from East Poinsett County School District — allegedly had sex with Goline, who was a teacher at Marked Tree High School, from January to April 2016, according to Arkansas Online.
Goline reportedly contacted the students via text message, which, according to court documents, “became more and more sexual in nature.”
One of the students stated Goline texted him and asked him to go to her apartment, where they later had sexual intercourse.
Another student said Goline picked him up in Marked Tree, then drove him to her apartment in Jonesboro, where they had sex twice, KAIT-TV reported. That student told authorities that another student also visited Goline’s apartment that same night.
A third student told Arkansas State Police that Goline sent him sexually explicit texts, including a photo of herself in undergarments. The student said Goline commented on “how good he looked in class,” and “texted him that she would like to have sex with him but he was too young.”
Goline told authorities that she had sexual relations with four students, according to Arkansas Online, but believed one of them was 18, when he was “way younger than what he had told her.”
Court documents stated that Goline went to Principal Matt Wright’s office crying … When Wright asked if she had any inappropriate contact with students, Goline allegedly said, “I’m not going to lose my husband,” but added, “We had sex.”
Let this be a teachable moment for me, for you, for fans of Teacher Sex Scandals everywhere. You can’t let yourself get discouraged. Slumps happen. Sometimes you go days and even weeks where the teachers getting themselves arrested aren’t A-material. Stretches where they’re either mediocre women with more heart than looks, or attractive underachievers with simple fact patterns like “arrested on suspicion of inappropriate relations blah blah blah.” Or, God forbid, lunch ladies who look like Danny DeVito [shudder].
But you ride out those dry spells because there is always another great coming along. A 5-tool player Jessica Lorene Goline with the looks and insatiable appetite for destruction who’s going to set the world on fire. And, while I never do this, I can promise you she’s starting a hot streak because I’ve got another potential superstar I’ll be doing before the week is out. That said, thanks to Jessica for being the hero we need.
The Grades:
Looks: I’d like to say I’ve seen enough. But if I was that cop taking the mugshot, I’d have said “OK, let’s just try keeping the glasses, but with that same smile as the other pictures.” I bet it would be straight flames.
Grade: A-
Moral Compass/Bad Judgment: A thousand yeses. Even though her moral compass is over the map. She’ll hit on kids in class, send them thong shots, need a “Now Serving” sign outside her apartment and even go outside her own school district for that fourth teenage D. But she’s got an age limit and is not willing to lose her marriage. Got it. And we’ve got the admission. So this is an easy
Grade: A
Intangibles: Marked Tree High kids have crossed the Goline more than the New York Giants. Meh. I don’t love it.
Grade: B
Overall: A-. If she doesn’t make the All Star team in December, it means we’ve had a record breaking year.
