Student-Teacher Sex Scandal | 03/11/2009 12:20 pm

Two Teachers Accused of Having Sex With Same 13-Year-Old Student

Most teacher-student sex scandals involve one student and one teacher. This latest wrongdoing, however, comes with a twist: Two teachers are accused of having sex with the same 13-year-old student.

Bountiful Junior High School’s Linda R. Nef, 46, and Valynne Bowers, 39, both face felony charges of rape and sodomy after confessing to sexual relations with the same junior-high-school student.

Nef, a Utah studies teacher and cheerleading coach, and Bowers, a math teacher, told police how the relationships developed. It was harmless at first — the teachers simply began talking with the student about his "personal problems." Then the exchanges led to inappropriate text messages, followed by phone sex and alleged "sexual assaults," police said. No other students were reportedly involved.

Both teachers, obviously, no longer work at the school.

 Though the article doesn’t indicate the sex of the student, I’m assuming it’s a boy since the teachers are women, and if so, I want these teaches in prison and vilified in the same way they would be if this were a female student and the teachers were male. I am sick of the double standard. And they had better not end up with glamour lighting doing a Barbara Walters interview!

Article says "his" personal problems — so the student is a boy.

Yeah……..I know conceptually you are still right on, I just couldn’t resist pointing out the "his" — I was just so darn proud of myself that I saw it.  =)

I completely agree with you DeB.  I have to wonder, however, how it is that this boy attracted two grown women — what does this 13 year old boy look like.

I liked it better when you spelled it "teaches", DeB’…kind of gives it that educational touch to it. I loved the very last line in the story: obviously they’re no longer employed at the school. Ha!

Competely agree DeBurca - there is no difference and should not be treated any different.

Another sickening, disgusting story of teachers sexually abusing students - what could these two women have been thinking? Isn’t there constant training about what constitutes abuse and why it shouldn’t be done? I doubt they were both absent for those workshops.

Prosecution to the fullest extent of the law is what each woman deserves, no exceptions, no breaks!

This "Chicago thug" wouldn’t expect "everyone in" any state to be anything.
