Today's story about a Tasmanian teacher being imprisoned for 18 months for having a sexual relationship with a 16 year-old student has me wondering why after over 18 months of Judge Elkaim finding that Carenne Special School teacher Anna Blackburn had a sexual relationship with student David Withyman no charges have been laid.
Despite being an intellectually disabled 17 year-old at the time and there being laws in place prohibiting a sexual relationship between a teacher and person under the age of 18, there have been no criminal charges laid against Anna Blackburn.
It comes as no surprise that charges have not been laid, given that Bathurst Police have a history of covering up issues involving Carenne Special School. In 2003, Constable Erin Lloyd knew of the affair and did absolutely nothing about it. Events since have shown that Police in Bathurst will do anything to protect the school and its staff.
It's time that charges are laid against Anna Blackburn, a sex fiend who preyed on an intellectually disabled 17 year-old.
