California Mother had Sex with Teen Boy She Was Supposed to Be Tutoring

Melody Carter-McCabe, 27-year-old teacher formerly at Livingston High School, Livingston, California, who was arested in June 2012, has pleaded no contest to the crime of engaging in sex with a student and was sentenced to five months in the Merced County jail.

Melody Carter-McCabe began the year long affair with the teen when he offered to help out at the 27-year-old’s home with chores. After two weeks of flirting and kissing female teacher began having sex with her student. The sexual relationship began when Melody-McCabe asked him if he had ever had sex and the boy told that he was still virgin.
n an interview with investigators the boy said they had sex at least 50 times during the affair that lasted from September 2010 to August 2011. Carter-McCabe and the teen boy reportedly exchange a large number of explicit photographs and messages during the course of the relationship

During questioning, the teen told detectives that Melody Carter-McCabe had a purple vibrator that he allowed him to use on her. Detectives found the vibrator in a nightstand at the teacher’s home. The student also showed photographs of a woman in her panties on his cell phone that he stated belonged to Carter-McCabe. He described specific details about her body, including that she has a tattoo of a Japanese water symbol on her ankle.

Police launched an investigation in March after rumours began circulating at Livingston High School where Carter-McCabe worked as a agriculture teacher. She met the teen boy when she began mentoring the student through Future Farmers of America (FFA). The boy’s parents had no idea his son had been spending time at Carter-McCabe’s Atwater home. On those days, the boy said he was either with friends or at FFA events.

It was also reported that Carter-McCabe was in the midst divorcing her husband of more than six year. She filed for divorce in September, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

The sexual relationship between the teen student and female teacher reportedly ended in 2011 when the couple decided that their age difference would make it impossible to be together until he was older. According to the father of the boy, he took the breakup of the relationship particularly hard in August 2011. He began to notice something was wrong because his son’s grades started going down. He also began to lose interest in sports and extracurricular activities.

Carter-McCabe, mother of a 6-year-old, will also serve five years felony probation but won’t have to register as a sex offender. She is scheduled to report to jail on May 28th and will get credit for the week she’s already spent. Clearly another double standard case - If she was a he, there is no way in hell the sentence would be only five months. And they would  definitely be on the sex offender registry.
