(Worcester, Massachusetts) Remember Shepherd Hill Regional High School English teacher Amber Jennings who was charged with engaging a minor in sexual intercourse and distribution of pornography to a minor? While teaching English, she was caught going around the world with a 16-year-old male student. That was a year ago.
Amber Jennings
Yesterday, 31-year-old Jennings asked the Worcester Superior Court to dismiss all charges against her, which include posing a minor in sexual conduct, posing a minor in a state of nudity, and disseminating obscene material to a minor. Prosecutors contend that Jennings videotaped and photographed nudity and sexual activities and even sent some images to the student via email. There's no word yet on the judge's decision.
[Update 9/14/05]
On Monday, Worcester Superior Court Judge Kenneth Fishman denied the motion to dismiss charges on Amber Jennings. Consequently, English teacher Jennings awaits trial on charges of depicting a minor in sexual conduct, posing a minor in a state of nudity, and dissemination of material harmful to minors.
Her lawyer, Peter Ettenberg, thinks she's being "selectively prosecuted." I think he's right. Criminals are selected from the general population for prosecution. It's a good thing, Ettenberg. Smell the coffee, pal.
