Pamela Rogers Turner (born 1977) is a teacher from Tennessee who was arrested, on 2005-02-08 and charged with fifteen counts of of sexual battery by an authoritive figure and thirteen counts of statutory rape. Rogers Turner had allegedly been having sex with a thirteen year old student.... At this point, just allegedly so; and, I hope, presumed innocent until proven guilty. "Wikipedia should not offer news reports on breaking stories.... Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news" (says Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_general_knowledge_base); even if these allegations were to be proven in court, statutory rape committed by somebody otherwise unknown would not be a topic of historical significance. Tabloid-fodder, yes; encyclopedic, no. -- Hoary 02:22, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)
