Heard on the radio this morning that a 21 year old substitute teacher in or near Ft. Worth, Texas walked into a class and caught two boys trying to have sex with a girl. He then told them to get out of the way and he would show them how. He proceeded to rape the 14 year old girl in front of seven students.

He's in jail this morning in Mansfield, and I hope the convict the ba$turd if he is indeed guilty.

What is the world coming to.

    This is almost to weird to believe, but it's real. Seven boys watching the teach, teach! No one snitched until the word spread through the school.

    the way i heard it was: the calss watched as the teacher sexually assaulted(they did NOT say rape) the girl. one boy told his mother, who told the principal, who call the cops. this all hapened at an alternative school in fort worth i.s.d

    Teacher accused of raping student
    By Deanna Boyd
    Star-Telegram Staff Writer

    FORT WORTH - A substitute teacher was arrested Thursday on a warrant accusing him of raping a 14-year-old girl in a Horizons Alternative School classroom while other students watched.

    Police began investigating David Lawson Franklin, 21, on Wednesday after a woman told the school's principal what her son said he had witnessed last week. Lawson was arrested at his home in Fort Worth and taken to the Mansfield Jail. Bail was set at $75,000.

    "Quite honestly, initially the details were such we were a little skeptical until we talked to all the parties involved," said Fort Worth police Sgt. Dave Stamp, supervisor of the Crimes Against Children Unit. "Then skepticism turned into shock."

    When officers first questioned the girl, she denied that an assault took place but later said it had occurred, Stamp said.

    "She was initially embarrassed to talk to anybody about it," he said.

    Stamp said statements by other students in the classroom match the girl's account.

    "They're all very consistent, the terminology as well as the details of the offense," he said.

    Lawson was assigned on Jan. 23 to be a substitute at the alternative school for students with discipline problems. Stamp said Lawson walked into the classroom and found two boys playing with the girl in a sexual manner in a space between a bookshelf and a wall.

    According to the students, Stamp said, Lawson asked the boys whether they were trying to have sex with the girl, then told them that he would show them how it's done.

    The students who were in the classroom told police that Lawson told the girl to bend over, pulled down her pants and his own, and raped her.

    "Because she is a student and he is a teacher in a position of authority, she may have been intimidated by the fact," Stamp said.

    About seven students witnessed the incident but did nothing to stop it or report it, Stamp said. The substitute teacher told students in the classroom not to tell anyone about it, Stamp said.

    "It's just hard to believe there were so many people present, and nobody took action to stop the assault or notify school staff, and we had to learn about it through a third person," he said.

    Fort Worth school district officials declined to comment on the specifics, saying they are cooperating with police on an open investigation.

    Cecilia Speers, the district's director of student affairs, said the substitute teacher "no longer is employed with the district."

    Police said they believe that Lawson began teaching in the district in August, but school personnel officials could not immediately confirm how long he had been employed.

    Thanks for the details, What gets me is that Substitute teachers have no qualifications to teach, SC uses bus drivers ect or anybody that wants to babysit for $35.00 a day. I know that certified teachers in the classroom are required to have background checks, fingerprints on file ect. This was also an alternative school, which means these students did not cut it and were expelled from the public schools. And where was the supervision in the classroom when the guy arrived. You do not in any circumstance leave a classroom unsupervised.

    Now, now, hanging might not be the best way. After all, there is a shortage of transplantable organs nationwide... I say, RECYCLE him.

    Unbelievable that the kids let it proceed.

    We have a gym teacher in our system who likes girls. This gym teacher watches the girls in the locker and shower room as they wrap up after P.E. The strange part is that this gym teacher is herself a female.
    Is this an accident waiting to happen? So far no complaints but having someone like that is like the foxess watching the hen house.

    Take a close look at this dude. He looks like he has an IQ in the single digits. What the hell is somebody like that doing in a teaching position?

    Recycle his organs, somebody said? No thanks. Not even to save my life.

    I hear "Big Bubba" does not like these kinds of guys. They do not last long in the big house. Which is as it should be.

    Armed Female,
    Someone should devise a little "mini-Guillitine" for this.
    Let him watch............and the hang 'em.

    A "soldier" under General Sam Houston's command in 1836 stood accused of rape. The evidence was irrefutable. He was guilty.

    There was no time for such niceties as a trial, nor were there detention facilities available to the Army of the Republic of Texas.

    The accused was summarily relieved of his equipment via the use of a sharp knife. He was then sat upon a horse and a noose placed about his neck. The rope was thrown over a tree branch and secured.

    When the horse was driven out from under him, it became apparent that the branch chosen had too much spring to it. The accused just sort of bounced up and down with his toes touching the ground. A gruesome spectacle.

    Erastus "Deaf" Smith, always one to quickly size up a problem and provide a solution, ran up and grabbed the accused and used his full weight to quickly finish the job.

    This is a fitting end to a rapist.

    David, good story. I only wish they had used a dull knife.

    Update on this story;

    Last night, this idiots mother was on TV defending her son. Proves how sorry he is to let his mother make a fool of herself for him. Another teacher has come forward and said that Franklin had admitted the whole thing to him. I hope they fire that one for not coming forward sooner!
