This is Lindsey Jarvis.
She’s 27, married, a teacher.
If you were across the news on Thursday morning, you would know Jarvis, from Kentucky, has been charged with two counts of third degree rape, with police in the US alleging she had a months-long relationship with a teenager while he was under the age of 16. She had her husband of three years by her side during the legal proceedings where she plead not guilty.
However, if you were taking your news from a men’s sporting satirical site (which I won’t name, for reasons you’ll soon understand), Lindsey Jervis is an “instant legend”.
“That resting F-me Face. Those smoldering crazy eyes that pierce your soul. That perfect smirk. It’s better to have loved and lost a smokeshow SST like Lindsey Banta Jarvis than to never have done her at all,” the website reads.
For the uninitiated, SST refers to Sex Scandal Teacher, and the lines above are part of a series the website runs about female teachers involved in what they call “sex scandals”. Or if you’d prefer the legal term, rape cases – because sex with a minor isn’t sex, and the abuse of a teenager is certainly not grounds for what they’re deeming to be a ‘scandal’.
Earlier this month, there was Erin McAuliffe, a 25-year-old teacher jailed for having sex with three underage students. But more importantly, according to the site, McAuliffe had “the body of a fitness model” – because what’s a few sexual indiscretions and bad decisions when you work out and look hot? Not to mention the boob job that was “applauded” by the writer, because boobs are important, especially when you’re accused of rape.
