A former music teacher at Greenfield High School in Missouri, 23-year-old Alison Peck was charged with two counts of statutory rape after admitting to having sex with a 16-year-old boy.Peck was charged with a lot more than just her namesake's innocent kissing action, with two counts of statutory rape of a child under the age of 17, in which she was charged in two different counties (no fat jokes, please, we're all better than that around here; plus, her smile is probably a lot prettier when her entire life isn't being ruined).Peck admitted to having sex with the teen, stating that a friendship "had turned into a sexual relationship." After these original charges were filed, Peck was instructed to have no contact with the student or the student’s family. Because there's nothing more natural than calling up your statutory rape victim's parents for a quick drink at the local Applebee's after getting out of jail.However, two of Peck’s friends contacted the 16-year-old boy and set a time to meet with her at a local "Inn," that probably charged by the hour. The two friends picked up the boy and dropped him off at the "Inn," where he and Peck spent the night together not playing video games.When authorities discovered the liaison, Peck was arrested again and charged with one count of statutory rape, with court orders to remain 1000 feet away from his home, no contact with the boy or his family, which again, is probably a shame, because when you violate the trust that exists between parents of students and teachers, you always want to call the boy's mom up to go scrapbooking on Sunday afternoon.She was also ordered to leave Missouri and surrender her passport to authorities.
