Gym Teacher, 36, Accused of Inappropriate Contact in Classroom With Two Underage Boys – Kimberly Lake Smith

Gym teacher Kimberly Lake SmithIt’s been a little while since we had a lady gym teacher on this page. Say hello to Kimberly Lake Smith, 36, a former teacher at Galeton High School (PA) who apparently has a long history of inappropriate contact with male students . . . at least that’s according to a criminal complaint filed by Galeton Borough Police Chief Christopher Brackman. In addition to the current two incidents (details below) it accused that Smith “engaging in similar misconduct with other students throughout her career at the district, from 1999 to 2012.” Uh, so why was she still teaching?

Anyway, the most recent incidents allegedly involve Ms. Smith and two 17-year-old boys in her classroom: in both,  Smith allegedly kissed the teens inappropriately and the let them touch her breasts through her clothes.  In addition, one of the victims was allowed to touch her genitals both through and underneath clothes, and she touched his genitals through clothes.  The worst part? Smith also stands accused of asking one victims not to tell anyone about their little extra curricular activity and to lie about it if asked.

Smith was charged with endangering the welfare of a child as a third-degree felony and endangering the welfare of a child as a first-degree misdemeanor.

Cops Say Gym Teacher Left School to Masturbate in Public – Timothy D. Lawson

For months–MONTHS!–Las Vegas, Nevada cops have been receiving reports about a black man either masturbating or urinating in public and were unable to catch him “in the act” so to speak. In all, nearly a dozen women reported seeing a grown man, sometimes just sitting on a concrete wall in the middle of the day, just pleasuring himself, not seeming to care of anyone saw him. Sometimes multiple times day and frequently near Cimarron-Memorial High School.

But officers were never able to put all the clues together until a former student of CMHS gym teacher Timothy “That’s Some Grip” Lawson saw him while walking to work one morning. And then saw him the next day masturbating in an alley. She was able to identify him from her school days and within a short period of time, cops had Lawson “in hand” and charged him with one count of open or gross lewdness and one count of indecent exposure.

According to school officials, Lawson was at home on paid leave when he was arrested, but gave no reason why he wasn’t in school.

Lady Softball Coach Accused of Sex With High School Boy – Jillian Clementi

By all accounts, Jillian Clementi, was a New Jersey softball legend: she had been playing the game since age 5, had a flawless fielding record her senior year as Immaculate Heart Academy’s shortstop, was named first team all state and was the 2002 Bergen County Player of the Year.  She then went on to play second and third base for Saint Joseph’s University and was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Conference in 2005. After graduating from college she returned to the area and taught at Immaculate Heart while coaching girls softball at Wood-Ridge High School.

That is, until this week, when she was dismissed from both positions. Why?

You guessed it, sex with an underage boy at Wood-Ridge a few years ago when the boy was a junior. He’s since graduated, but when the allegations of the relationship came to the attention of the WR administration, they investigated and then notified police.

Clementi has now been charged with sexual assault and child endangerment.
