She's attractive, but closer to an 8 than a 10.
Seriously though, the threshold for a Grand Jury indictment is considerably lower than convincing a trial jury to pass down a Guilty Verdict. It's well known that a DA can get his carefully selected Grand Jury to indict a ham sandwich.
Can someone post a CliffsNotes version for those of us who can’t access Scribd?
If only I were 25 years younger, I’m 41

Booked at 15:42 today for Sexual Battery and released on $35k bond. Court date is 10/18/2019
She's too pretty for a grand jury to be convinced she sexually assaulted an adult. She looks like Penny from Big Bang Theory. Safe to assume a minor is her accuser.
Having trouble understanding. There was not enough evidence to continue a SafeSports coaching ban but there is enough for an indictment for sexual battery? Either it is jokingly easy to indict without sufficient evidence or SafeSports is doing a terrible job investigating accusations.

Bubba added some cheese and heated up the ham sandwich. Got the cheese all melty. The grand jury indicted.
The victim could’ve been coached. The criteria for sexual battery is not very tough to meet. The whole story needs to be published before the commenters start throwing out their assumptions.
@6:15
You are correct, that is why you should objectively use language like accuser instead of the biased term victim which implies guilt.
Closer to a 5 than a 10.
Well this is certainly new info and odd coming immediately after the swim organization reinstated her. I’ve thought the accusations were ridiculous and they may turn out to be. But law enforcement taking action certainly changes the situation. Just have to wait to see what evidence their could be.
Does anyone know if this suspect/defendant is involved, or has been involved, in any of the swim meets or practices at the UMC Wellness Center in Flowood?
OHHHH NOOOO! Rankin County is lost! Don’t even cross the river unless you’re willing to take your life in our hands! Savages!
Appearance: scared
This cannot be true. I worked with her. She’s a wonderful human.
What other sport has a web link specifically to list people or coaches who have been suspended? Swimming is apparently a sport that has too many child predators or individuals with major abuse problems.
Do the benefits of competitive swimming outweigh the risk of your child being molested?
Is it scholarships or just trophies that are won?
Why would you put your children in danger of sexual predators?
Professional swimming and gymnastics have taken on a whole new, less attractive inspiration in the last year or so.
In light of all the perverts coaching these children; it is assumed that if a child is allowed to participate in these activities, their parents must know about these risks. Are some condoning this behavior?
Curious why Rankin County is involved if she coaches and teaches in Madison. Did the alleged abuse take place at her (or his)home?
She was born in Amory. That explains a lot.
@10:11 wins for Most Ignorant JJ Post Of the Year. The competition for 2019 is now closed. Good luck to everyone next year.
If you think that attractive sexual predators are doing a favor to their alleged victims ( not " accuser" as the obvious defense attorney claimed), whether underaged or not, you have the mentality of a Neanderthal.
If you believe the attractiveness of the alleged victim made them irresistible, you are also have not evolved with the rest of humanity.
If you make see either type of comment as humor, you lack wit and empathy and also have not evolved.
It also makes those having to suffer your presence in the human gene pool suspect that incest has been a tradition in your family.
sports organizations looking the other way:
usa gymnastics
michigan state athletics
penn state athletics
thankfully when law enforcement looked into them they didn’t look away
@ 8:06 In a special kind of way, you might get to share the prize. Stop acting like all of this okay.
Can victims be compensated financially for this in civil court? Did she slap someone on the butt and get in trouble? I haven’t read the report and am not planning to.
Thank you to all the coaches in the world who do it the right way.
8:11 am wants to do away with the inconvenience of a trial and just assume guilt based on mere allegations. People like him/her are as much a danger to our society as actual criminals are.
@9:17 If she slapped someone on the butt, the charge would be fondling/gratification of lust. Sexual battery, what she’s been charged with, requires penetration.
This sort of thing has been going on between young boys and older women since.......
Rudyard Kipling told about it in his poem “The Ladies”! Not condoning it, just saying!
I was a young un at ’Oogli,
Shy as a girl to begin;
Aggie de Castrer she made me,
An’ Aggie was clever as sin; 20
Older than me, but my first un—
More like a mother she were—
Showed me the way to promotion an’ pay,
An’ I learned about women from ’er!
So sorry. No doxxing allowed.
Maybe there will be a movie. "The Graduate" would be a great title.
"Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids..."
What is doxxing?
And, no, sexual battery does not require penetration. There's no penetration involved in a hand job.
And what about all you clowns on here who, just the other day, were posting bullshit about other parents whom you thought to be involved in getting her the 'attention' her behavior deserved? You're silent now. How come?
2:57 pm I said nothing about the guilt or innocence of anyone.
I simply called you or whoever ( if not you) out on your attempted euphemism.
Did you not notice I put "alleged" before victims?
Do you like "accused perpetrator" better than " alleged perpetrator".
If you missed the word " alleged" in your reading, I hope you aren't trying to represent anyone. Words are important in the law.

I believe that you have your jimmies rustled by two seperate people because I am who commented @6:25 PM about accusers and victims but I am not the same commenter you are currently directing your invectives.
@7:46, you are incorrect. By statutory definition, sexual battery requires penetration. See Miss Code Ann Section 97-3-95 (2), which I provide for your easy reference:
A person is guilty of sexual battery if he or she engages in sexual penetration with a child under the age of eighteen (18) years if the person is in a position of trust or authority over the child including without limitation the child's teacher, counselor, physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, minister, priest, physical therapist, chiropractor, legal guardian, parent, stepparent, aunt, uncle, scout leader or coach.
The biggest fact question is the age of the "child" at the time of the alleged act, assuming there was an act.
Was the victim a minor? I don’t see mention that he was.
Fernando may be a good coach. Savannah may be a nice person. They may have a van full of well behaved children. When and how PEAQ was formed and its relationship with the other teams in the Metro are irrelevant. None of those things mean she can't be a sexual offender...which is precisely what she is. It's a tale as old as time to try and undermine the victim and question their motivation to come forward and IT NEEDS TO STOP. This is no ones fault but an adult woman, in a position of authority, that used that position to take advantage of someone that had been entrusted to her care. Period.
I have no idea if this person is guilty of anything, but I'll offer this general advice:
Legality aside, a sexual relationship between mature 16-year-old and a 21-year-old could easily be within defensible parameters. Even something between an unusually mature 16-year-old and a 25-year-old could be arguably defensible, depending on the specific circumstances of the particular situation.
However, a sexual relationship, in 2019, between a 15-16-year-old and a married 30+-year-old (or even a single one) is not reasonably defensible. Even assuming real and honest feelings on the part of the older party, adulthood carries with it the responsibility to conduct oneself within the law. A reasonable 30-plus-year-old person is well aware having sexual relations with someone known to them to be 15-16 is illegal.
If you are determined to flirt with disaster, do not act surprised when disaster welcomes the come-on and splays you across whatever is handy to force an unpleasant experience.
So sad for her four young children. Now she will have to be listed as a sexual predator. When will some teachers learn? Why aren’t they educating future teachers or even current ones on the outcome of this? Do a web search on teacher student affairs and it will shock you. Sad....very sad.
To every ignorant commenter acting as if an indictment is a conviction...
She is presumed innocent until found guilty. And indictment isn't a conviction.
Go read some damn books people. Hell, go watch Matlock or Perry Mason if you prefer.
Might as well be an conviction when your mugshot gets posted on every news website and in every newspaper.
