Lesbian Teacher Avoids Prosecution
In Molestation Case
March 15, 2006 -
A lesbian North Carolina social studies teacher has avoided prosecution for sex
abuse recently because her victim refused to press charges against her. Susan
Wiseman was under investigation by authorities over the sex abuse of a
17-year-old high school student and was suspended without pay.
Wiseman is also a leader in a local PFLAG chapter in Winston-Salem and has
taught a course titled "The New Gay Teenager" at the prestigious North Carolina
Governor's School during the summer. This school recruits top students from the
state to participate in various courses during the summer break.
Wiseman's course was based upon a book by Ritch Savin-Williams who is encouraged
by trends among teenagers to experiment with a variety of sexual activities with
both girls and boys.
A review of Savin-Williams book is available on NARTH's web site: "The New Gay
Teenager." In his book, Savin-William appears to be an apologist for pederasty.
He quotes Dr. Theodore Sandfort, a pro-pedophile professor, throughout his book
without condemning the man's affirmation of adult/child sex. Sandfort has served
on the editorial board of PAIDIKA, a Dutch pedophile journal. On page 135,
Savin-Williams suggests that if sex between an older person and child isn't
abusive or coercive, it would serve as "a positive impact on adolescent and
adult sexual arousal..."
