Teacher who fondled student back in jail after sharing bed with
parolee

LARIMER COUNTY — Carrie McCandless, a high school teacher who served
45 days in jail for fondling a student, is back behind bars after
violating probation.
McCandless, 32, had to register as a sex offender after her conviction
last June. She is subject to intensive supervision and is required to
get permission from a treatment team consisting of a mental health
provider and a parole officer before having sexual contact with anyone
but her husband.
On March 6, she got in bed with a man without seeking approval.
"Ms. McCandless was found by Parole Officer Joel Campbell in bed at
the apartment of one of his parolees," according to a Larimer County
Court document modifying her sentence to include the latest 30-day
stint. The parolee was an adult, said Paul Cooper, chief probation
officer for the Eighth Judicial District.
McCandless was a Brighton Charter High School teacher when she kissed
and fondled a 17 year-old student during a field trip in late October
2006.
McCandless served her sentence following her conviction last June.
She's in a relationship with a high school student.
She's married to the high school principal.
She's in bed with a parolee.
Who is she?
Answer: The Civics Teacher.
If your crime involves money, your probation may have restrictions on your
finances. Sex, same thing. For one thing, you don't want two registered
sex offenders teaming up. Imagine the woman who lets her boyfriend molest
her kids, and then she's going to start sleeping with another child
molester.
Well, that's a ridiculous example, mothers who let the boyfriend molest
their children never get convicted of anything. 'Cause she was a victim
too, or she suffered enough, or Jeebus said so, I never can figure out why
but that's how it is.
But anyway, the restriction makes sense to me.
People who work with sexually abused children are inclined toward Bo's
type of cynicism. Whenever I hear the words "non-offending parent" I
want to punch someone. These women are almost always complicit, at least
passively. I'd like to see them prosecuted, but as Bo suggests, that's
not likely. So can't the nanny state even just force them to get
psychiatric help before we turn their kids back over to them?

What puzzles me is, *how* did the parole officer find them in bed together?
He surely did not break into the apartment, and if he entered in a normal
manner (ring the door bell or knock on the door, wait for someone to open
it), then they would no longer have been in bed.

If your crime involves insider trading, you spend a few months in
prison, crochet a couple of ponchos... and then it's business as
usual.

To the best of my knowledge, convicted felons are not allowed to *team
up* with other convicted felons after being paroled... in ANY
combination. If a husband robbed a bank and the wife drove the get-
away car, they would not be allowed to pick up with their marriage
after being paroled. Anyone care to challenge that statement?

It's up to the parole officer if they can or can't.
Also, once they are off parole or supervised release felons can also live
together.

Unless there is something hugely missing in this story this is plain pagan
and cruel and unusual punishment bullshit.
Why dont the bastards just shoot the woman! They have
the authority to do whatever they want, it appears!

If this is power run amuck then that is FAR more serious
than anything his woman has done or could do given the facts
presented.

Actually, a parole officer can walk right in to a parolee's home. They do
it all the time. Ring a doorbell and wait? Bwaa haaa haaaa - no, not a
chance.

What the hell would being pagan have anything to do with this story?? Is the
woman a pagan? Her husband? The kid she fondled? The parolee she bedded?
What the hell are you talking about ?

Well, I've learned something (again). I knew that parolees had to be
available whenever wanted, but I had no idea that a parole officer could
simply walk right in (which would mean needing keys to every parolee's
location). I'm certainly familiar with no-knock entry in some
circumstances, but that often means breaking down the door.

What is the purpose of this stupid provision? The only thing I can see is to
pointlessly humiliate the woman. Was she really supposed to go before a
council of assholes and say, "Please, can I have your permission before I
have sex?"
This would never happen with liberal judges. Instead, there are imbecile
conservatives with insane rulings.

Maybe it has something to do with the treatment for her psychological
problem, whatever it is.
McCandless back in jail
By Kevin Denke
04/03/2008
FORT COLLINS -- Carrie McCandless, the former Brighton Collegiate High
School teacher convicted of sexual assault on a student last year,
turned herself into the Larimer County Detention Facility Friday to
serve a 30-day sentence for violating conditions of her parole.
McCandless, 32, was sentenced to 45 days in jail in 2007 after she
pleaded guilty to charges related to a 2006 tryst with a 17-year-old
student. She also received five years of sex offender intensive
supervision probation on a misdemeanor charge of unlawful sexual
contact and a four-year deferred sentence on a felony charge of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
According to an order to modify sentence filed in Larimer County Court
last month, McCandless violated several terms of her probation dating
back to last July, shortly after she was released from jail. The
grievances listed in the order:
McCandless tested positive for alcohol consumption July 29 and
admitted drinking alcohol to her probation officer.
McCandless admitted Dec. 13, that she had sexual contact with a person
not reported to or approved by her treatment team.
McCandless was found by a parole officer in the bed of a parolee at
his apartment March 6. The sexual contact was not reported or approved
by her treatment team.
McCandless also was found to be out at 8:30 p.m., March 6, a violation
of her curfew.
McCandless did not disclose her offense when the parole officer asked
if she was on probation.
McCandless missed random blood alcohol tests Feb. 12 and Feb. 28.
The document lists the 30-day jail sentence, to commence March 28, as
an intermediate sanction in lieu of probation revocation. It was
signed by McCandless and dated March 13.
McCandless' lawyer M. Trent Trani confirmed by e-mail Monday afternoon
that he is still representing McCandless but he declined to comment on
the jail term.
Umm, duh -- ANYONE BUT HER HUSBAND --
Can I petition that board for permission to have sex with her? She's
smokin' hot.
