Emily Streb Special Educator Extraordinaire

Update: This post updated here.

That's the word, though I'd let this one play out, owing to any possible issues with the 16 yr-old special education student.

However it does look like the police did their homework ... along with everyone else in this case.

She's a music teacher ... let me guess, not a soloist - organ? or skin flute?

March 7, 2007 -- A beautiful blond music teacher has been busted for allegedly having a torrid affair with an underage special-ed student.

Emily Streb, 23, was arraigned yesterday on third-degree rape and other charges at Bronx Criminal Court for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old, whose name is being withheld because of the nature of the charge.

"The complaining witness is a special-ed student who suffers from psychiatric problems," Assistant DA Heather Cook told Judge Ralph Fabrizio. "She was his music teacher."

Wonder if theri is proof beyond the accusation?

"She's a music teacher ... let me guess, not a soloist - organ? or skin flute?"

What's your point in posting this, Dan? Do you really get a lot of laughs out of child sexual abuse?

You're one sick, pathetic fool.

[madne0]

"child sexual abuse"? The kid was 16. Hardly a "child".

PS: Where were the hot, horny 23 year old teachers when i was in school? Dammit!

[bud]

So, we have an accusation by someone who is not the brightest bulb on the tree and who has psychiatric problems?

I'm not impressed.

And before you do the old law 'n order bit about "they wouldn't have charged her, etc" I'll throw out two words. Fitzgerald. Nifong.

These sort of stories do nothing for the reputation of conservative media, and give your opponents ammuntion. Same reason I regularly curse Fox and their coverage of missing college girls and Anna Nichole.

"someone who is not the brightest bulb on the tree and who has psychiatric problems?"

That was good enough to give a bunch of Duke Lacrosse players a very hard time.

[Hard Right]

I'll wait for more evidence on this one. If that poor woman is innocent, just imagine what she's going through. There will always be people who feel she is guilty no matter what.

[Cindi]

Hard, you are right on. I know a guy fresh out of college who landed a job in his old high school. Ten years ago he was charged with sexual assault on a student. Charges were dropped when the student admitted she was lying. This guys reputation was shot, he will never again work as a teacher.

Considering this students back round, his mental illness if you will and that of his so called mother, you do have to wonder.

[seekeronos]

What I don't wash well with is the lowering of the age of consent ... by consensus?

Last time I checked (in most US jurisdictions) the age of consent was 18. It may not make much difference in that the boy is __physically__ capable of fathering a child, or just have sex. And then the fact that he is a "special needs" child (or minor, if we must flabble about what age range constitutes "childhood") only compounds it.

Perhaps a re-evaluation of our age of consent laws vis-a-vis the UK is in order: from what I understand, 15 is the age of consent pretty much all the way around.

The thing that wrinkles the silk sheets there is, one person may appear passably (sp) as a full-grown adult at age 15, while another person of the same age has yet to grow hair downstairs.

How does one make a law that governs the wide range of latitude that can exist in 15-18 year old age range...?

The best we can do, I think, is to keep the thing that works.

But for all the "prostitots" - that is, kids of 13-16 years of age actively hooking up, this speaks of a lapse in parental guidance. I fear for the generation born in the 70s and 80s in particular, being raised in that most narcissitic age of the 90s and coming of child-rearing age themselves now.

What matter of lawlessness will our lack of even knowing how to properly discipline our children bring?

You're one sick, pathetic fool.

Don't tell me..........you contribute to "Save the whales?"

[Cindi]

I work with a lot of young people. The other day in a converstation with a young woman that is turning 18 this week, I asked her what freedom she whould find in turning 18. She told me she could date anyone she wanted, no matter their age, she could get a tattoo, and body piercings.

At 17 she has lived with a parent on welfare, one that cares more about spending money on beer and take out food.

This week a few of us gathered and made SURE Sam has her senior prom gown and all the fixings. I hope her mother objects......then I can lay into her ass.

[Buzzy]

I always urge people to wait until the case plays out in court and a jury gets to decide if the defendant is guilty or innocent. I would also suggest that no matter what the age of consent may be it should always be illegal for a teacher or other school employee to have sex with a student, a matter of position of power and authority. If this case is brought to trial and she's convicted I sincerely hope that she gets put in jail for a long time and not merely given a slap on the wrist because she's young and attractive.

[yyy]

If the boy was mentally able to consent then she shouldn't go to jail, not a big fan of statutory rape statutes being employed in cases where both parties agree everything was consensual leading to jail time for the older person.

She should never be allowed to teach again and any teacher who does have sex with their student, be it 15 or 17.5, should never be allowed to teach again.

[Zifnab]

"Don't tell me..........you contribute to "Save the whales?""

If by "contribute to 'Save the Whales'", you mean "Don't keep a posterboard full of child sex crime stories on my wall to fanticize over", I imagine the answer would be "Yes".

But maybe Cindi just likes these stories to live vicariously. Who knows? Now that ANS isn't plastered on the news 24/7, everyone needs some sort of sexual perversion to obsess over, right? Of course, you could just check out porn or something. Or... news about porn. Whatever the right-wingers are biblically allowed to get off to.

[Andrew]

Cindi is always having fascinating conversations. She talked to a Vietnam vet a while back and told us many wonderful things. I can't wait to find out who she talks to next!

[Fred Beloit]

I suppose it would be fairer to wait for more info on this case. Two things, though. One, "having special needs" nowadays can mean anything from needing an iron lung to breath to being traumatized by a jack-o-lantern last Halloween and needing a hug. Two, having been 16 for one year myself once, I have quite a bit of trouble seeing this 16-year-old as a victim. I should have been such a victim. Agree w/yyy though about teachers who seduce or whatever with students shouldn't be teachers any longer.

[Delinda]

I know Emily Streb. I don't know if these allegations are true. She is extraordinarily good looking. She is well educated. Would she waste her life by having an affair with an emotionally disturbed 16 year old? From what I know of her, I highly doubt it. But if by chance this is true, she is emotionally disturbed, herself.

[Hard Right]

Hey andrew, unlike you she gets out into public while you stay in your mom's basement. As she works with kids, is it at all possible she gets to talk the parents? You know, some of whom are Vietnam vets, deadbeats, etc.

BTW YYY, isn't it possible the boy is lying? You seem to think she is guilty.

[Michael]

I was 16 in the wrong era, man! I personally think most 16 year olds are fully capable of consenting to sex as anyone else. The vast majority of 16 year old boy's lives would be vastly improved by a nice 23 year old piece of tail. Now, just because the young man was a special education student, let's not leap to the conclusion that he is a full-on retard. That would be wrong if he is. But if he's got an IQ of at least say, 100, I'm fine with it.

But, then again, from a point of fairness, a man who had sex with a 16 year old student would get crucified, so it is fair for her to get in trouble as well.

[SDN]

Trust me, in 99.9999% of cases like this one, it isn't the "kid" who feels violated, it's Mommy/Daddy. What a waste of court space.

[c s]

I too know this girl. She worked her ass off to become a teacher, and has only just begun her career. From what I know, she's not stupid and uses good judgement. She's always been more than responsible. For that reason, I say innocent til proven guilty. If she is found guilty, then justice should be served but considering her character, I'd say not likely.

[Teach123]

I also knew her pretty well, I pray that it is not true both for her sake and most important the student. The students in D75 have enough issues and often come from homes where there is a history of abuse. But it is odd that she resigned so quickly. And no matter what age, consent or not it is NEVER appropiate for a student and teacher to be involved and any teacher should know that.

[Jake]

This really seems silly to me. 16 is the age of consent in 30 states out of 50 states and the District of Columbia. If he'd been there or been a year older (17 is the age of consent in New York State), this wouldn't even have been a crime, and she would only have lost her job. It really does seem more like the mother who felt violated here, not the kid.

[Denny Wooty]

Hey, men's careers are ended by these kinds of accusations. The retarded don't lie. They're not smart enough to. Let the women face the same level of scrutiny as the guys. If this is a problem for her, then I guess she shouldn't have done it, huh?

[lotoflaughs]

I know this girl! She is from a real small town in Upstate NY called DUNDEE. This is no suprise, she is a fucking slut! I know quite a few dudes who have slammed her. Well, now that her teaching career is over she could go to california and do porn or trick her self out in the bronx for rent!

[Kelly]

I know Emily Streb. I went to high school with her. From what i remember of her from back then....i dont think she would do it. But look at the world today.....anything is possible....she wasnt disturbed back then...but i wouldnt be suprised if she did do it. And as for what "lotoflaughs" said no she is not a slut, yes she is from Dundee. Its not the first time a teacher has done something with their students and unfortunately......it wont be the last......it makes me want to get home schooling for my son.......but i will be there the whole time. No teacher is going to corrupt my son.

[Ron]

I know Emily. I have for 23 years. She worked hard in school, she was involved in a lot of activities,community service, and athletics. After she graduated she went on to Hartwick (not an easy school to get into)to pursue a degree in Music Education. Bright, beautiful and full of life until now. As far as being a slut, so be it! It doesn't mean she did this. On the flip side, special ed doesn't mean retarded. I know special ed kids that are labeled that just because they need more time to take tests!! Hang in there Emily. I'm sorry I'm from the same town as lotoflaughs. I was always proud of being from Dundee. This is a very small communtiy that usually sticks together. Emily, just say it ain't so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anon]

I actually teach at the same school as Emily, and I know that she did do it. She was repeatedly told to dress more appropriately and was seen several times doing a "come hither" dance to the child. It was actually another teacher who caught her naked with this child in her Bronx apartment. I also know the student, and these students aren't "mildly" special, this is a school for severely emotionally disturbed children. He's not lying.

[wow]

I find this VERY disturbing! Any 23 year old who would have sex with a minor alone has some serious serious issues! Most likely self esteem. But to have sex with a retard is even more disturbing... She is a PERVERT!!!!!!!!! Judge judy should give her 3 to 6 with good behavior!

[teacherast]

I've been waiting for this story to hit. I know someone who worked with "Streb" and even met her once myself and it was a bit strange to see someone who seemed to relate everything back to sex. This saddens me for the student's sake. The fact that these students are severely emotionally and psychologically disturbed makes her behavior with them even more predatory. These young men don't need whatever Streb was offering them. The week before she was charged- and who knows how long prior- she was supposedly working as an escort! Beautiful girl yes- but seriously messed up in the head.

[Alex]

I know Emily personally..how do you know she was supposedly working as an escort?

[Ilove Emilystreb]

I think Emily deserves the benefit of doubt. When working in a close environment with any human being for a long period of time things can get blurred. I would highly doubt that this girl just "abused" this person against his will. It probably started out as a game of sorts and Emily was transported back to the innocent years when sexual relationships were new and meaningful. She went with her feelings and got involved oops. She is hot and can get anyone she wants and this kinky vixen wanted a dose of reality both giving and taking. The boy probably went up a few IQ points for feeling loved and needed by someone as hot as Emily. I haven't heard Emily confirm or deny the allegations, but I am sure her Lawyer will do what is best. I have read some of the posts here calling her a sex addict and an alleged escort - sounds to me like a great defense. Miss Emily Streb you are found not guilty based on your clinical nymphomania and inability to control it around the mentally challenged. The judge will exclaim "I lost my Lithium! Now come her and abuse me. My IQ is lowered without my lithium." he then whips out a flute and shows her his affection for music. Digression is my problem - oops

On a personnal note: Lafave was hot dripping hot, but empty. Emily has depth and looks waawaaweewa

[Emily can have me anytime]

I did not mention how hard it is to rape a male. The guidance of the penis would be the largest task in order to be successful, unless rufies are involved. If I were in fear and taken by force I would not be erect.Though the thought alone makes me erect - getting the vagina aligned would be a task in itself. How does one rape a male? I am a male and if Emily wanted to rape me it wouldn't be called rape because I would want it soooo bad (oops). Everyone is familiar with the tests where you have a large block with small geometric shapes cut out, and nonrmally you place the small shapes in the hole. You don't pick up the block and try to place it on the different shapes. The vagina is a target to be penetrated a penis is not. With that in mind - if a male was not aroused how could it be rape? She must be a kung-fu master and I'd like to make a public plea. Emily if you see this I want to be an exhibit in court and have you try to rape me. I can prove that rape is not possible to a male in any way shape or form. Though this post may be a little freaky it should prove a point.

[Wrong]

Now we hear she's not only stripping in NYC but working at Pizzeria Unos in the Bronx. People talk and see and report. That's how I know. One would think her lawyer might advise against such idiotic behavior whne being investigated but I guess not. Regardless of whether she was trying to "help" her students- what she did is wrong. Legally and morally. Even the way she dressed and acted in a working environment was wrong- way before she allegedly (um did) have sex with a few of her students. She didn't help them in any way. She's a disgrace to teachers and especially those of us that teach the arts.

[STUDENT OF life]

i have heard many things about this sexy intricate woman _ if she was an escort then she surely wouldnt have to sling pizza _ if she was dancing with all of this attention she would make a mint and ALSO wouldnt have to sling pizza. If I knew where she was dancing i would surely drop a few thousand, and furthermore if she waited on me at the pizza place she would get a huge tip. (no pun intended)

If she were on the market as a nanny I would have her manage my sons education - no problem. This of course would have to be a live in situation.

[Alex]

Has anyone found out anymore info on this girl.....is she still living in the Bronx...I heard she was stripping?

[Hartwick]

Dude, even her friend of 23 years just admitted she was a slut. I went to Hartwick and knew her, and this girl is SUCH a slut. Wearing revealing clothes to a bunch of High School kids? Man, I'd hate to be Emily's dad. Then again, all the secular progressive fucks up at Hartwick probably don't think it's that bad.

[hmmm]

She looks delicious, but I would not touch her. I like being HERPIES free!!!!!!!!!

[strange]

This is really strange, i wouldnt have thought this would happen to someone i went to college with. i knew her all through school and wouldnt have ever considered this.

what happened to this case? what were the results of the trial? was she found guilty or innocent?
