Teacher jailed for NOT having sex with teen

Yeah it is a grabber headline, but the charge is absurd..


GARLAND, Texas -- Garland police Tuesday night arrested a teacher on charges of improper relations with a student.

The teacher's name is Lindsey Holt.

Police said that on Tuesday evening, an officer patrolling a south Garland park found Lindsey Holt, 23, in a compromising position with a 17-year-old student.

Ok, so what is the position she was found in? If it was not sexual in nature then what are you charging her for again? Improper relationship? Ok, I'll bite, was she holding his hand?

Garland police said the case does not involve a sex offense and that the relationship was consensual.


The charge deals with the teacher's position of authority as an educator over her student.

"The actual charge is improper relationship between an educator and student," said Joe Harn, of the Garland police.

The charge is a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of two to 20 years in prison and-or a fine of up to $10,000.

20 years when the only law she broke was improper relationship?!?!?

Holt bonded out of Garland Detention Center Wednesday.

Some parents said that, given the allegation, Holt should not be allowed to return to her job, NBC 5's Randy McIlwain reported.

Holt's employment status is uncertain. Because Garland Independent School District is on holiday break, school administrators could not be reached for comment.

What did she do wrong? Was she boinking him? No, Was she blowing him? No, what exactly did she do, and how can it be proven as improper if nothing sexual was occurring? Was she converting him to Islam!!?!


If she was doing something that was headline grabbing, you know damned well that news and police would be screaming about another Sex Offender in the public employ.. But no. We have vague information at best, and sooner or later we'll see her face on the SO registry.. Just good Practice.

Here we are America. You asked for it, and you got it. Now, even non-sexual contact with kids will get you arrested. Congratulations, Hitler really did win the war...
