Stephanie Ragusa is back in the news.

Since we last saw her, Ragusa had been out on bail after being arrested for allegedly having sex with two students in early 2007. The students were 14 and 15. She was initially released March 18, 2008 after posting bail, but was re-arrested April 15 when investigators found out about the second student.

She gets out on bail again. And what does she do? She goes right back to the home of one of her pet students and has sex with him again!

Life’s One Big Party

Officers discovered Ragusa and the now-16-year-old boy at his house about 12:20 p.m. Monday, the arrest affidavit states. Ragusa had gone to the teen’s house to discuss the criminal case but wound up in bed with him, police said. Detectives nabbed the woman as she was leaving and getting into her boyfriend’s truck. Ragusa remained behind bars Tuesday, charged with two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor.

Sitting in jail, Ragusa wrote a letter to the son of wrestler Hulk Hogan, Nick Bollea (also in jail), which was intercepted by Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies. Bollea, who was later given a copy of the letter, is currently serving an eight-month sentence on a charge of reckless driving with serious bodily injury.

The letter states:

“I just want you to know that you are not alone, and for what it’s worth, I can sympathize with the dynamics of your case.”

“It’s not us, Nick, but something ‘off’ with society that our situations garner more attention and print than the president, the election or even an earthquake killing thousands. Keep your head up, and never lose sight of the light at the end of the tunnel. You have more people supporting and pulling for you than you will ever know. You remain in my prayers.”

Nick Bollea is 17 years old. He sits at the Pinellas County Jail in Largo, Florida, after the August 26, 2007 crash in Clearwater, caused by reckless driving, where his friend John Graziano, a former U.S. Marine, was left permanently brain-damaged.

A 15-year-old boy (name withheld) told police that a sexual relationship developed between him and math teacher Stephanie Marie Ragusa when he was 14, and she was teaching at Davidsen Middle, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said. Late Thursday afternoon, deputies arrested Ragusa, 28, at her Lake Bella Vista Drive home in Tampa and charged her with five counts of lewd and lascivious battery.

She is accused of having sex at least five times with the teen from Oct. 1, 2006, to May 4. One of the encounters took place while the teen should have been in an after-school class, and others occurred in Ragusa’s car and apartment, sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.

Ragusa started working for the school district in 2006 at Madison Middle School in South Tampa, Hegarty said. She voluntarily transferred midyear to Davidsen in Town ‘N Country but it is unclear why, he said. Most recently Ragusa has been working at Martinez Middle School in Lutz. The school’s Web site lists her as a seventh-grade math teacher.

Allenna Ward: The White Witch!

A former middle school teacher was sent to prison for six years Tuesday for having sexual encounters with five teenage boys. Authorities said Allenna Ward, 24, met 14- and 15-year-old boys at the school where she taught as well as at a motel, a park and behind a restaurant.

Police began investigating last year after school officials found a note believed to have been written by Ward to one of the boys. Some of the victims were students at Bell Street Middle School in Clinton, where Ward taught. She was fired about a year ago.

Ward pleaded guilty in September to three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor.

Forensic psychiatrist Donna Schwartz-Watts said Ward is not a pedophile, but rather a childlike victim suffering from personality disorders and a repressed childhood. Schwartz-Watts said the minister’s daughter lived a sheltered life but really was a “free spirit” who never got a chance to break away from her family.

Teacher, 40, Marries 16-Year-Old Student

WILMINGTON, N.C. — A 40-year-old high school teacher and cross country coach has resigned and married a 16-year-old student.

A marriage license shows Brenton Wuchae married Windy Hager in Brunswick County, N.C., on Monday. The county board of education approved Wuchae’s resignation Tuesday — a week after he had requested it.

Wuchae coached Hager at South Brunswick High School, where she was a star runner. He lives less than two miles from her home on Oak Island. Hager’s parents said they did all they could to keep the couple apart after noticing a deeper-than-usual friendship between them.

Betty and Dennis “Bubba” Hager told The Star-News that they exhausted their resources. They said they asked for help from school officials, law enforcement, teachers and students. They also said they asked Wuchae to leave their daughter alone and tried to get a restraining order against him.

The Hagers said they reluctantly signed a consent form allowing their daughter to marry her coach.

The parents said that on Saturday, Windy asked her dad to sign emancipation papers — which he refused. She then asked him to sign a paper Wuchae had drawn up and had notarized, which would give Windy permission to marry her coach. Her dad said he also refused that.

But on Monday, the Hagers met their child and her coach at the courthouse and signed off on the marriage certificate.

“He had all the power in the world — all he had to do was say, ‘I can’t do this,’” Betty Hager said.

Schools Superintendent Katie McGee said she was shocked and disheartened.

About Windy at the State Port Pilot:
(this story says Wednesday , November 8th, 2006)

Windy Hager understands the strength to finish the race comes from within, yet she attributes much of her motivation to South Brunswick cross country coach Brent Wuchae.

He’s very encouraging. He’s always telling us how proud he is, the South Brunswick sophomore said. I’m proud of where I finished but he seems to be even more proud of me. He’s always been encouraging.

That’s what makes him a great coach. He’s always motivated us; he’s always out there helping us.

Motivation is very important. Such as: “You can do it, Windy! Visualize your goals and make them reality!” and also “If you win the race I promise we’ll get married next year!”

Wuchae had much to be proud of during the state cross country championships at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons last Saturday.

Hager finished 36th out of 126 runners with her time of 21:32, while Higgins, a sophomore, finished 85th out of 127 runners with his time of 18:55. North Brunswick’s Oscar Hernandez carried the banner for the Scorpions program, finishing in 54th place with his time of 18:11 over the 3.1-mile course.

I was extremely tickled with both of them, Wuchae said. They’ve both come a long way. I’m very proud of their accomplishments this year. Windy finishing in the top 25-percent was just outstanding. That was a little higher than I thought she would, but she did well and Josh finishing 85th in the state, considering the boys had a little stiffer competition.

Hager said her experience at the state meet has given her specific goals for next season, goals she feels are within her grasp.

You always think about next year; you want to make it better, she said. That’s what gives me the drive.

This girl is motivated! She set the goal of marrying her cross country coach and she made it happen! Follow your dreams!

Wuchae said Hager and Higgins have attained the status of conquering heroes among their peers, a positive sign for the program’s growth in the seasons to come.

It’s just overwhelming the support they’re getting here at South. We’re trying to build here and if we can get the exposure these kids going up there and just seeing what it’s like this year , next year, they’ll know what the competition is going to be and how hard they’re going to have to work to get to the next level.

Wuchae, a truly dedicated coach, is giving Windy all the support she could ever need, I’m sure!

S.C. teacher accused of having sex with student:

Kanesa Hopkins: Excellent at Math, Jesus, and perhaps a few other things…

GOOSE CREEK, S.C.

You gotta hand it to 31 year old math teacher Kanesa Hopkins. Not only is she a kindly Sunday school teacher, but she was also named Teacher of the Year by her peers at Westview Middle School. Yes, Kanesa was well respected by all.

That is, until she was accused of having sex with a teenage girl that she taught in Sunday school. Apparently, it happened a few years ago when the girl was about 14. And it happened at Hopkins’ place and the girl’s place.

Hopkins is currently in jail on five sex-related charges. Hopkins also faces one count of criminal sexual conduct with a minor in nearby North Charleston, where she previously lived.

Hopkins was confronted in 2002 about the amount of time she was spending with the girl by the church, which was not named in the affidavit. There was no other mention of the church in the sworn statement.
