Last I checked, an NBC affiliate is pretty main stream.

I read the article, she comes off as a creeper.

I would be surprised if any of my 6th grade classmates wanted to have sex with our teacher

Maybe it's because that is every teenage boys fantasy

I should have said, "mainstream" news. A man does something similar and it becomes the trial of the century. But a reasonably attractive 24 year old woman does it, and it barely gets a headline in the local paper.

More about her:

And apparently the school put her on leave with pay.

If these stories aren't in the news, where did you find it?

Investigators said she thought she was meeting a 13-year-old boy she originially met while she was a student teacher at Coates Elementary School in 2015.

These types of stories really amaze me, and it's surprising that they're never in the news!

She was apparently 23, just out of college, and was so attracted to her 12 year old student that they flirted for a year and then decided to meet up.

AND, then she became a 6th grade teacher, to more 12 year olds!

A North Carolina woman allegedly traveled to northern Virginia to have sex with a 13-year-old boy, according to the Fairfax County Police Department and FBI.

Kathleen Antonina Capitano, 24, of Shallotte, North Carolina was arrested as she arrived at a hotel in Herndon, Virginia, on Saturday afternoon. Investigators said she thought she was meeting a 13-year-old boy she originially met while she was a student teacher at Coates Elementary School in 2015.

Detectives said Capitano and the boy had been communicating online and were told about the scheduled meeting. Police were waiting for her when she arrived at the hotel and took her into custody.

Capitano was charged with four felony counts of use of communications systems to facilitate certain offenses involving children under 15 years of age. The case is still under investigations, and authorities said additional charges are possible.

According to a report by the StarNews Online in Wilmington, North Carolina, Capitano is a sixth-grade math teacher at Shallotte Middle School in Shallotte, North Carolina. She has been placed on administrative leave with pay, pending the outcome of the investigation.
