[Update 3/23/05] Here are a few additions to the list of women accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with boys. Note that I have included one woman (Elizabeth Miklosovic) who is charged with inappropriate sexual conduct with a girl. It departs from the adult female molests boy theme but is consistent with the basic female teacher with student theme.

(NY) Rachelle Vantucci, 32,
married, teacher - Sex with 16-year-old boy,

(VA) Melissa Michelle Deel, 32,
teacher - Crossed state line to have oral sex with male student, 13,

(MI) Laura Findlay,
teacher - Suspended due to allegations of sex with at least one student,

(MI) Elizabeth Miklosovic, 36,
teacher - Criminal sexual conduct with female student, 14,

(FL) Kelly Lynn Dalecki, 28,
teacher - Pleads no contest to having sex and giving porn to boy, 13,

(NJ) Christina Gallagher, 25,
teacher - Sexual assault of underage male student.

As a general observation, it seems that the number of female teachers reported in the news as having sex with students equals and possibly exceeds the number of male teachers doing the same. I don't have data to support the observation and I've only been watching for about a year, so I could be dead wrong.

It's also worth mentioning that two names were intentionally not included on the list, Pamela Smart and Mary Kay Letourneau. I assumed that their high-profile stories were fairly well-known and both occurred a number of years ago. The list is meant to display recent incidents.
