Christian School Teacher Accused Of Having Sex With Student

A Christian high school teacher in Oregon faces charges of rape and sodomy after her husband caught her partially naked at home with a student, according to court records.

Andrea Baber, 29, is accused of having sex multiple times with a 15-year-old student and sending him topless photos. The former Logos Christian Academy teacher was arrested Friday for alleged sex crimes, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

Since their relationship began last year, Baber and the student have allegedly had sex once or twice a week at her home, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in Douglas County Circuit Court and obtained by The Register-Guard newspaper Monday.

Baber’s husband told authorities he found his wife and the teenager at home, where they were “partially unclothed,” the newspaper said. The affidavit said Baber and the student were also photographed together in Baber’s bed.

It's definitely the perversion or assault of choice for them. Why? Why do most of us look at a young teen and think of them as annoying or as children or as potential adults, and these "Christians" look at them and see an object for sexual pleasure?

egregious the sexual crime.

The study found that those with a rigid belief system see even minor infractions as a major sin.
So once they cross a small line, they figure what the heck, I am going to hell anyway, might
as well go further with the crime.

Particularly in cases where a woman is the perpetrator, the media goes out of its way to normalize statutory rape.

Reading the article, I'm surprised to see that Baber faces real charges: third-degree rape, third-degree sodomy, unlawful delivery of marijuana to a person under 18 years of age, online sexual corruption of a child and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor.
