Gorgeous Pamela Rogers Goes Before the Judge

(McMinnville, Tennessee) The saga of 28-year-old Pamela Rogers, a woman who appears to be building an international reputation for irresponsibility, continues with new indictments being served on the former teacher at the Warren County Jail, her current residence.

Here's a quick recap of the Rogers story.

In August 2005, for her conviction on child sex assault charges, Rogers was sentenced to nine months incarceration and subsequent supervised probation of seven years, three months. Her sentence was quite lenient since she originally faced 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape of a 13-year-old boy.

In February 2006, Pamela Rogers was released from jail on probation with specific orders not to communicate with her victim in any manner. Given the circumstances, a prudent person would have plotted out a squeaky-clean life of respectability, at least for the duration of the probation.

Unfortunately, Pamela Rogers isn't a prudent decision-maker. On April 11, less than two months after being released from jail, Rogers was arrested for violating the terms of her probation by repeatedly contacting her victim. She was set free on $10,000 bond until a July hearing.

Astonishingly, on April 24 Rogers was rearrested for the same probation violation, contacting the victim. She was discovered to have sent sexually explicit videos to the boy via a cameraphone. As a consequence, a judge ordered Rogers to stay in jail until her July hearing.

Rogers will be in court this afternoon to face four counts of sexual solicitation of a minor for her actions since completing her nine-month sentence. Circuit Court Judge Bart Stanley will also decide what shall be done about Rogers violating her probation. The judge may opt to send Rogers back to jail to complete her original eight-year sentence.

Inquiring minds await today's decision.

From ABC News:

A judge sent a former teacher to prison for seven years Friday for violating her probation by sending sexually explicit photos to a young teenage boy.

A tearful Rogers was apologetic as she was taken away in handcuffs. She's going to the women's prison in Nashville.

The ruling was expected. Nobody ever deserved revocation of her probation more than Rogers.

According to District Attorney Potter, the most recent charges regarding sending sexually explicit images via cameraphone will be adjudicated separate from the probation violation. No date was disclosed for court proceedings.
