Woman teacher, 27, who had sex with 17-year-old pupil is spared prison and handed community order

A teacher who was caught having sex with a teenage pupil in a layby has been spared jail and given a six month community payback order.
Eppie Sprung Dawson, 27, picked up the 17-year-old pupil in Dumfries and drove to a secluded spot between Cummertrees and Hoddam where they had sex in the front seat of her car, a court heard.
But the pair were discovered by patrolling police officers who noticed the parked car.
Earlier this year, Dawson admitted that on December 21 last year, while she was in a position of trust and being the teacher of the youth, she engaged in sexual activities with, or directed towards, a person under the age of 18 and that she had sexual intercourse with him.
Today she was ordered to sign the Sex Offenders' register for six months and will be placed under the supervision of social workers for the same length of time.
Agent David Finnie said Dawson had undergone four sessions of counselling and had another 12 to complete and he added that it had become clear that there was counselling available for her and she had willingly taken this up on her own.
Mr Finnie said she had undergone four sessions and she was finding it beneficial. 
He suggested that the whole matter be cleared up so that she could do what was necessary to get on with her life.
'This was a case of breach of trust rather than any form of abuse. I would suggest that the community payback order might be sufficient,' he said.
Last month Sheriff George Jamieson told her that but for her being a teacher, she would not be facing a charge because the pupil would have been the age of consent. He told her that she had breached a position of trust.
Mr Finnie described Sprung Dawson as a gifted, talented and committed teacher who was dedicated to her job. 
Dawson taught at St Joseph's College in Dumfries and had earlier agreed to give the dyslexic teenager extra lessons.
But she had thrown all this away and in addition to wrecking her career, her marriage had been wrecked.
She was married to Ranald Dawson, 32, son of former Solicitor General for Scotland Lord Dawson.
Breach of trust: Dawson was a teacher at St Josephs College, Dumfries, when she agreed to give the dyslexic pupil extra lessons

Sheriff Jamieson who ordered Dawson to return to court on September 18 for updated reports said it was important to address the criminal side of the charge but it was encouraging that she was benefitting from counselling.
He hoped that the social workers could add to the therapy.
Dawson is no longer employed by Dumfries and Galloway Council. 
The court heard Eppie Dawson has undergone counselling since the incident
The court heard the tryst has already ruined Dawson's marriage

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Babe Jessica White Was Also A Victim Of Childhood Sexual Abuse



Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Babe Jessica White Was Also A Victim Of Childhood Sexual Abuse.Jessica White is opening up about her extremely difficult childhood—and finally revealing who molested her when she was 14 years old.
The model and Sean Penn ex hosted a dinner party at Georgica in East Hampton on Sunday for her Angel Wings Foundation, where she told guests she started the charity to allow women who have been sexually abused to come forward and get help because she'd been through the nightmare herself.
"I was sexually abused as a child, and the work that my foundation does is not going to end sexual abuse, but it will definitely raise the awareness and give room for other women and girls to come forward and begin the healing process," White said. "This is personal to me, this is not something that I went and slapped my name on."
After the event, Jessica opened up to E! News in more detail about her painful experience...
White, who had never before stated who her abuser was, told us her former brother-in-law made her life hell when she was a young teenager.
"I was 14 years old, I never talked about who my abuser was," she told E! "It was my brother-in-law, my sister's ex-husband. For the first time I realized I kept it a secret for so long, but why when people weren't protecting me?" she said. "At 17, I told my older sister and asked her not to say anything, to not tear my family apart."

White says life at home was so hellish, she'd punch holes in the wall in order to deal with the secret she was carrying.
"I hated going home, I had holes in my wall, it was the worst situation that a child could ever be in," she said. "It was a very dark situation that I came from. But God used something very evil into something every powerful and beautiful. I don't want any other young girl to feel like it's their fault. The majority of the time it's caused by someone that you know."
The Sports Illustrated beauty says that she's turned into a "warrior" on the topic, and that she thinks it's her calling to help others that have gone through the same situation.
"This is my mission in life, I've actually lived it," she said. "When you think about that, you see why I'm very passionate about it. We may not be able to stop sexual abuse but we can minimize the stress intake. How I feel today, I truly believe if we team up and we can stop sexual abuse, we can prevent some pedophile from taking some girl's innocence."
White's foundation donated the money raised Sunday to UNICEF's City of Joy Program, which provides nearly 200 women between the ages of 14 and 35 with psychotherapy and an extensive training program offering literacy, economics and sexuality education in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Victoria's Secret model's next step for victims is to take her message to the Internet. "I'm teaming up with other women and teenagers and we're gonna do a YouTube campaign, along with Gabrielle [Union] who also was sexually abused," she tells us. "We're all partnering together, and we're fighting to stop this altogether."

Audition Show 1 Of AMERICA’S GOT TALENT Season 6 On Air Today

It’s Season six of the glorified THE GONG SHOW now called AMERICA’S GOT TALENT and it hasn’t gotten any better from the first time I watched it five seasons ago. It still is painfully droll and boring. Most of the “so called” talent is lame and, just like AMERICAN IDOL, simply there for shock purposes in these early audition rounds  – in other words it’s so bad it’s good. The only problem – you have to find this kind of TV programming to find this kind of a train wreck entertaining.
Nick Cannon comes off as an affable host of the contest that offers up a $1 million prize, especially compared to the talent that surrounds him. Cannon looks really good. Judges Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel are back showing their strengths as critical and comedic judgers for the show and yet for more than half the show they are the only talent shown. Even with the in between video segments giving tidbits of who these new contestants are and where they came from, the show falls flat. Nobody cares because nobody knows these people.
With “Audition Show #1”, occasionally some actual talent is showcased between the dribble. Three young boys (5,6,7) showed their rapping skills and cute appeal and easily got through to the next level – Las Vegas. Team iLuminate, a dance group in fluorescent glow in the dark lighting, were by far the most talented of the bunch. Unfortunately, we had to wait two hours to see them since they ended the show. They, too, are moving on to Las Vegas. As for the rest, yeah, a couple of magicians are moving on including an impressive Latin dance group is as well and a juggler who juggles stun guns while standing in water. That’s pretty death defying, but not very engaging once you get over the shock value of it all.
Ala AMERICAN IDOL many were there to make a fool of themselves and to do it in front of millions of Americans for fun. Some didn’t understand why they didn’t get through and copped a little attitude. Another actually fell off the stage attempting to “dance.” Are these people for real? I am not sure. I don’t care and I desperately miss DANCING WITH THE STARS where people wanted to do well and  are not there to make a fool of themselves intentionally. It seems with AGT the joke is on America. Now somebody please get rid of this show! If I had a big X buzzer I would be pounding on it for AMERICA’S GOT TALENT to exit the stage. Oh, if only.

Justin Timberlake Dating To Ashley Olsen Is Rumor


Ever since he broke up from longtime girlfriend Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake has been linked to a number of single ladies in Hollywood. Most recently, the "Bad Teacher" actor was rumored to be hooking up with Ashley Olsen. His representative, however, was quick to deny the dating report.
When setting the record straight, Justin's rep also shot down rumor that Justin might be romancing Olivia Wilde. "Justin is friends with both Olivia and Ashley," the rep told E! Online. "He is not romantically involved with either. He is single." A friend of the singer-turned-actor added, "Justin and Ashley have a ton of mutual friends. Yeah, they were hanging out. But there is nothing going on."
News of Justin's possible hook-up with Ashley was brought up by Us Weekly. In its latest issue, the publication claimed that the two single stars have been inseparable in and around New York City, noting that they were spotted together at the Greenwich Hotel, a "Saturday Night Live" afterparty, two Broadway shows and a polo match.
The magazine went further by citing a so-called inside source who confirmed that Justin and Ashley "are hooking up." Another source was also quoted as saying that the "SexyBack" singer and the former girlfriend of Justin Bartha are "really trying to keep it on the down-low."
Justin himself recently opened up that he hasn't been in contact with ex-girlfriend Britney Spears for years. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the "Friends with Benefits" actor confessed, "We haven't spoken in 9 or 10 years." He explained, "We were two birds of the same feather - small-town kids, doing the same thing. But then you become adults, and the way you were as kids doesn't make any sense."
The 30-year-old went on to share, "I won't speak on her, but at least for me, I was a totally different person. I just don't think we were normal; there was nothing normal about our existence . We spent way too much time being the biggest thing for teenyboppers. "
As for his most recent ex Jessica, Justin dubbed her as "the single-handedly most significant person" in his life. He elaborated his remark, "In my 30 years, she is the most special person, OK? ... I don't want to say much more, because I have to protect things that are dear to me - for instance, her. "
