Judge in Teacher Sex Scandal Case: “What young man would not jump on that candy?" - Erica Ann GinnettiEmail ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to PinterestIn an interesting twist to a well know female teacher sex scandal story: Erica Ann Ginnetti, 35, only received a sentence of 30 days from a Pennsylvania judge, even though it was obvious from court testimony that she was the aggressor in the case.  His rationale? After Ginnetti sent the teen a video of her undressing in a "sexually suggestive manner" the judge couldn't see how, ". . .  young man would not jump on that candy?"So, it was her fault? It wasn't her fault? Why didn't she get the 7-14 years in jail like a male teacher would have in a similar situation?Details from the Huffington Post:The teacher and student were in frequent contact in July 2013, after the two had sex in her car parked at an industrial park. Ginnetti pleaded guilty last year to sexual assault and disseminating sexually explicit materials. The maximum sentence for the two crimes was seven to 14 years behind bars, Philly.com reports. Instead, Judge Garrett D. Page gave the woman just 30 days of jail time. Ginnetti will also have to register as a sex offender. Ginnetti seen dancing at a Lower Moreland High School function. At her sentencing hearing last Friday, Ginnetti cried in court while reading a letter of apology. The judge then compared explicit photos of the woman to "dangling candy" in front of her victim, the Bucks County Courier Time reports. “What young man would not jump on that candy?” Page said. Ginnetti now works at a gym as a fitness instructor. She said in court that she regularly volunteers at her church, and is rebuilding her relationship with her husband and three children. "I don't believe you're a bad human being," Page told Ginnetti. "You did a bad act. So I have to punish you." 4951

I'm not seeing "candy" here unless her lady bits were sparkling with gold and diamonds.  He must have been hoping to "get some of that" himself. 4951

@donnatella: That's because you are not a teenage boy.  Her mugshot is unflattering, as mugshots tend to be, she's actually an attractive woman if you don't mind the whole pedophile thing.
I will say that the judge's comments are being taken out of context, what he was doing was stating that she was the aggressor and a predator, thus bore 100% of the responsibility for the trysts.    I guess I need to add the obligatory question about where were these teachers were when I was in school. 4951

@ForeCPA90: So true! Also boys and girls of the same age mature/develop at different rates. There were guys on our football and basketball team the same age as me but had no trouble growing facial hair. I can also remember some of them having detailed conversations about experiences with older girls or women who in some cases did not know their true age. 4951

@ForeCPA90: Except that he's quoted as using that as justification for a THIRTY DAY sentence.  Whereas, the article cites as punishment for this crime a sentence from 7-14 years.  So I'm confused.  Is he calling her an aggressor and a predator and holding her 100% responsible?  Or is he kind of laughing and saying this isn't really a big deal and she's kind of a hottie and that's one lucky kid so he's inclined to let her off?

This article provides a little more context.  He is definitely not using it as justification for a lower sentence.  The sentence is what the prosecutor asked for.  4951

I have boys and I would plum shoot a teacher that messed with my kids.. They are in a position of authority and therefore it is all kinds of wrong....   Same for boys as girls in my opinion...  Really in actuality it could be considered worse for boys becuase they mature slower than girls....  To me it is wrong....    4951

A teacher messing with middle school and younger...those are sick. But high school? I think it should maybe still be a crime but maybe not a sex crime. No reason a person should basically lose their life and ability to provide and be branded a sex offender because of it...male or female. 4951

I think sex between young female teachers and older boys happens much more than anyone realizes but most boys aren't going to say anything if means he'll lose out on more action. The truth is.. parents are the ones who feel violated more so than the teenager. 4951

I really think if the kid is 16, 17 or 18 and it is consensual with no grade-related threats or promises, it's a fairly minor thing that has been happening forever.  The age of consent in most states is 16 or 17.  The whole process of having the teacher arrested and tried is probably far more traumatic for a kid that age than banging their teacher ever was.Now, a kid under the age of 16 or cases were any force or undo influence may have been used, those should be prosecuted. 4951
