Oddly, the latest local individual arrested for having a sexual relationship with a student lives in my old neighborhood – the neighborhood where I still own a house with my ex and from where I recently moved.
Lisa Robyn Marinelli, 40, of New Port Richey, Florida was arrested yesterday and has been under investigation by the Pasco Sheriff’s Office since February, because the alleged victim’s father said he saw his son get out of Marinelli’s car while pulling up his pants.
There are reportedly hundreds of cell phone calls and text messages between the boy and the Marinelli on record, including one that says, “How about a quickie 2morrow afternoon?” and another inviting the kid to Marinelli’s home “because real men only need 20 minutes.”
The boy also turned over a pair of Marinelli’s underwear to the police. Marinelli had been substitute teaching at Mitchell High School when she met the 17-year-old boy.
The question begs to be asked: isn’t there a fine line as to whether a 17-year-old boy is really a victim when it comes to a consensual sexual encounter? The kid will more than likely be old enough to vote in the upcoming presidential election, attend college this fall, and soon be old enough to buy cigarettes. Nonetheless, the law says he is a “victim”? I have to admit I am rolling my eyes right now. It is a fine line, indeed.
Still, the woman should have thought of her husband and her children before she got involved with anyone else, especially a kid who is going to be unable to keep his mouth shut about bagging the “hot teacher”.
