Sexual Assaults of Underage Boys by Female Teachers
SAVE
April 2, 2026
An increasing number of female teachers across the United States are being arrested, tried, and convicted as sex predators of male students. According to a 2024 report (see original article here):
- “Though cases vary, the most common physical profile of a female teacher sex predator is a white woman in her 30s.”
- “The tactics of female teacher sex predators vary, but according to [psychotherapist Stacy] Kaiser, many of them use social media as a means to connect with their victims outside a classroom setting.”
- “In her analysis of individual cases and larger predatory patterns, Kaiser concluded that a number of female teachers who are sex predators often think they haven’t committed any kind of crime.”
- “The tactics of female teacher sex predators vary, but according to Kaiser, many of them use social media as a means to connect with their victims outside a classroom setting.”
The media headline usually refers to the assault as “having sex” or “abusing” the child. The word “rapist” appears only once in the 21 headlines: https://nypost.com/2026/03/25/us-news/accused-rapist-teacher-colleen-jo-matarico-unrecognizable-in-court/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=nypost
