LANSING - A Lansing school employee is charged with having sexual contact with one of her students. Carrie Alice Denbow, a 32 year old Student Assistance Provider at Lansing's Hill Center Academy, was arraigned today on 7 counts of criminal sexual conduct in the third degree. Those are felony charges. She is accused of having sexual contact with a student from 2006 to 2007. The Ingham County Prosecutor's office says the student was 13-15 years old during this time.

Carrie Denbow was placed on paid administrative leave from the Lansing School District since December of last year. She is the daughter of Terry Denbow, the head of MSU's University Relations department. He was with his daughter in court Thursday.

Carrie Denbow was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bond. Her next court appearance is scheduled for July 25th.

It is good some of you aren't on the jury--you have her convicted already.

We allow gay marriages,abortions and many other stupid stuff.All against gods laws.Is it any wonder this stuff is happening?Morals of the usa peple are so bad.Prostution is all over.Watch the porn on tv,movies,on the internet.Fanastys?We can not understand why this is going on so much?I guess it is comming down to many things needing stoped.Will we see that happen?Not likely.Rape and crimes are on the rise.Look at the clothing so many wear.Sex appeal sells so much.Women are looking good.Men are pleased.Guilty or not?Many have been.Some not.If it was a 18 yr old would it be differnt.It is two sided.The poor kid.Why are kids willing and say nothing.Where did they get the ideas?Why do adults do this?Where is this leading in the long run?No age on who can have sex if willing.If students go along with this instead of speaking up what is the problem?I would never even think of this.So why are so many?It is so wrong.As it should be.Kids are educated and told to speek out.They do.1yrlater???

She's not a teacher!! The news can't seem to get it straight and people don't seem to listen or read carefully.

Don't forget, a lot of kids make stuff up for attention. She may well be innocent, don't jump to conclusions.

Let's wait and see if she is guilty of the accusations. If so, yes this is crazy and unacceptable.

This is happening all over the country. Go to www.schoolteachernews.com and click on the Scandal page. They have documented over 280 of these types of incidents since just the beginning of 2008.

Send to prison and never let her get her teaching degree. She should never be in a classroom around any age child.

King of Pop Leaves Mark on Lansing

Posted By: Barbara: I'm surprised by the news media who are shocked that he died after having passed a physical. There are instances of people having heart attacks as they leave the doctors office, have been given a good bill of health. Some coverage of the event seems appropriate but now I am ready for it to stop. Ok I wasn't a fan. Never was. But enough is enough. There is other news out there. There were other deaths of famous people that week, alot in fact. They got a notice in the news and that was appropriate. Yes was more controversial as was Elvis and yes they both got more time, but it bothers me that all of the national coverage that night was of his death as if there wasn't a war or other news of note.
Posted By: Entertaiment Bigot: Sorry Becky if we busted his chops but I'm one of those Hollywood Bigots. I do not idolize anyone in the entertainment business more than I would my own Parents. So I can truly say he never had an impact on me. It is our culture and media that seems who decide who we should idolize and I'm sorry but I don't buy into that mentality. I didn't cry over Elvis and I'm not shedding a tear for Mr. Jackson. I didn't cry over Lady Di. To say he reached everyone in the world may be true but that doesn't make me a bigot just because I don't idolize or mourn him.
Posted By: Becky: I feel that you are all insenstive bigots. Excuse the past years...you have to look at what this man meant to the country as a whole. When is the last time you heard of an artist that reached damn near everyone in the WORLD regardless of their race? Elvis didn't even have that much of an impact. He is a human and has his mistakes. Only God can judge him and to say such nasty things about this man after his passings is plain disgusting.
Posted By: blabla: Ok he's dead, now can we read some real news
Posted By: jon: I just wonder where is michael now?
Posted By: sandy: Bill, your right not Farrah or Ed but a pedophile, his attorneys will be looking for new jobs now cant live off mike now.
Posted By: Bill: What GREAT comments and all so true. How anyone can worship a pedophile is beyond me. To bad about Farrah, but you sure don't hear anything about her.
Posted By: Bill: Too bad so sad, NOT. Children of L.A, can now sleep easier. The courts don't have to waste money on him anymore and his so called friends will have to find someone else they can be a leach to. I remember when their show first appeared and it was fun to watch. But as time goes by the fame has destroyed him as well as all the damage he has done to his own body for no reason but to be wanted even more by the public. His attorney summed it up great.
Posted By: King of Warp: Ok, the immediate response is I'm shocked. Only the media and elite will sensationalize a story to make the guy out to be somebody to be worshipped. Everyone is now over Princess Di. So, pay your respects, honor his talent and keep the other crap out of the news. We don't need to hear over and over again about his drug use, child molestation problems. Good-Bye Michael Jackson now "Beat It"
Posted By: Mark: This is pathetic. Call me a dork, or a hater, or whatever, but this is seriously ridiculous. Yeah, an influential musician is dead at a young age. But do half of the headlines on this page have to be about Michael Jackson? There are four on here about him out of 8 listed.
Posted By: Carrie: BS! I don't buy into this "sadness" stuff. I think we have a bunch of band-wagon jumpers!! Michael was a HUGE part of my generation's world (growing up in the 80s) and every chick LOVED him so from that sense, ok...it is weird to see him gone. BUT....he was a "has been" through the recent years (since like the mid 90s?) and so many people did NOT like him because of his life-style and mannerisms, etc. Notice his upcoming tour was in a whole other COUNTRY because he wouldn't make it here. But yet, all of a sudden, he is LOVED by all? GIVE ME A BREAK! I am NOT buying it. BAND-WAGON jumpers. Spare me.
