Accused Teacher Still Considering Plea Posted: 7/27/2005 4:46:00 PM Updated: 7/27/2005 6:02:08 PM Newschannel5.com A hearing for Pamela Rogers was postponed Wednesday morning as attorneys attempt to reach a plea agreement. Sources told NewsChannel 5 that District Attorney Dale Potter has made Rogers an offer, one that she initially rejected. Rogers has been charged with 28 felony counts, including statutory rape, for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 13 year-old boy. If she’s convicted, Rogers faces more than 20 years in prison. The alleged victim was a student at Centertown High School in Warren County, and the 27-year-old Rogers was his physical education teacher. Sources told NewsChannel 5 the plea deal offered to Rogers would require her to serve one year in jail, surrender her teaching license, and be listed on the sex offender registry. Sources said she initially rejected the offer, and that there has been little progress since. The mother of the 13 year-old Rogers is accused of having sex with said the focus and attention on her family has been a strain, and she’s ready for it to come to an end. “I wish they reached an agreement today. I want it to be over with. We don't want to go to trial because of our son…don't want to put him through that. But something has to be done,” Lisa Keaton said. Keaton said she believes the plea offer made to Rogers is fair and said it would be very hard for her or her family to accept anything less. If the two sides don't reach an agreement, Rogers’ trial is scheduled for November. Rogers has been living in Clarkrange, free on $50,000 bond. http://www.newschannel5.com/content/news/13304.asp Back To Guvment Skool Page 7 COPYRIGHT "DUHMAG.COM" 2005
