Imagine if a 38 year old married man with two kids had done this with two 15 year old girls.
Pretty sure we don't have to imagine that. Likely already happened. Except without weird men exposing themselves as creep promoters and foolish women wanting us to not consider the many predatory women "muh statistics" have not counted.
@@VDOTU5yo what
@Rumple999 Stop trying to gaslight me. I still have replies up of me going at it with men who support women violating kids, and going at it with women who want us to trust the statistics on said women are accurate when they are not.
@@macythompson8786 Nothing to be confused about. You know what I'm talking about.
@Rumple999 Stop trying to gaslight me. I still have replies up of me going at it with men who support women messing with kids, and going at it with women who want us to trust the statistics on said women are accurate when they are not.
Please spare a thought for this woman's husband.
Let's hope he divorces her and gets full custody of his kids.
I thought about him as well. And trying to explain this mess to his kids, wouldn't want to be in that spot at all. Let's hope she gets prison time instead of what I'm seeing in all these other cases. Then he will definitely have custody and try to right the family ship.
He's a good lawyer. And he has been MISERABLE for the last 10 years lol. My wife knows them
@@Hulk_Be_Smashinif he had been miserable for 10 years why didn't he divorce her? Is he divorcing her now?
@alexr6470 because he still loved her and they have 2 kids together. But now yes he already absolutely filed lol
Nope America has a bad marriage law she will get alimony and child support, and I bet you she gets a slap on the wrist and serve no jail time
There are a lot of predatory women out there.
There always have been.
It's only recently that it's being reported by independent and unbiased news channels like L&C Network.
For decades now, the mainstream media have only been covering incidents involving male perpetrators and predominantly female victims.
That was my dream when I was a teenager on vacation
@bang2020, imagine if the roles were reversed. I doubt you'd think the same . Let kids be kids no matter if it's a male or female. Lady Gotta have some bad mental problems to be doing this . Same as men offenders
@@bang2020same brother
There always have been.
Amen to this doctor! She’s 100% correct about this woman and ANY adult who abuses children! They have no place in society!
Child yes but a child at 15 i most certainly was not .
Why are women so out of control right now?!
@@Charmer4856Don't think it's anything new . My first time was with an older lady at 15 about a month before reaching the age of consent a long time ago . No "experts" around to tell me i was a victim and that i just thought i enjoyed it and i would be traumatized. Had no problems then or since so thankful that none of them were around
That fool doctor doesn't know her elbow from her rear end.
@@johnbarlow4572 An adult made you think such acts was appropriate with a kid. That's the core of the problem!
What in the world is going on... *LITERALLY* everyday there's a new case. These teachers and other grown up women are absolute freaks! Hide your kids lmao
*every day
What a time to be a teenage boy. I missed out 😂
@@keifer7813 SICK
@@keifer7813 Stop repeating this. And if you have kids, would you let your little son be alone with a woman you know is predatory? And let your daughter grow up to be another predatory woman? If you stay silent, that is a yes from you.
the sad truth is... this is a 15 yr olds dream. so that's probably why teachers' are doing it@@VDOTU5
Why can’t older women get at 20 year olds instead of under age boys
She is married and probably thought nobody would believe a "kid" imo.
Exactly
Exactly! Like what that 15 year old had that i dont like come dog
A 20 year old is in college banging college girls, he’s not gonna want a post wall past prime cougar. That’s why they go for the youngsters. They want to feel like they did when they had their SMP prime. It’s all about attention and validation with women. They need it more than oxygen.
@@daBEAGLE1017 probably you’re right
Sick...let's see if the courts do their job without giving her special treatment.
She will get 3 years of probation.
Lol it's MN. State politicians are all about sexualizing children.
That's a laugh. we both know she is getting a slap on the wrist punishment.
The boys got lucky imo
@@dallas218 extemely bad look to condone this in any way. Switch the genders and you will see the error of your way.
She is smiling in her mug shot. I don't think she believes she did anything wrong. Disgusting.
She can't wait to meet the transwomen in female prison.
Neither do I. Time of their lives 😊
@@mchammer1836 Say the same when it's a man and and a girl
But it’s not the same , still wrong but let’s be honest
@@mchammer1836 disgusting.
thank goodness for this woman for not being afraid to use the harsh blunt words to describe this woman and what she did. i see too many people still try and talk carefully about pedophiles as if they deserve any sugar coating and it was nice to see her be so brutally honest!
She likely would not have got caught if she didn’t stalk them.
I have a 15-year-old son and if she did that to him she would have a hard time walking and talking.
Same
Sure 🙄
I read that as 'he' would have a hard time walking and talking at first, lol.
Yeah and then you would go to prison to for 10 years for bodily harm just call the police on her and think before you act.
@@AsianBunnyXxx Apparently you aren't a mom.
Mom card revoked after this type of behavior.
Milf card invoked
The guest does not seem like an expert analyzing the situation clinically …she is just expressing her moral outrage (rightly like any normal non-expert would).
That was my thought. It usually annoys me when a doctor says “I can’t diagnose X because I haven’t talked to them.” But, it’s kinda wild the bold accusations this doctor, not that I necessarily disagree with her, is throwing out so definitively having never met the woman…
Yeah she's totally jelly.
Exactly, calm down lady! I’m pretty sure I would sit in a public hotel hot tub with two 15 year olds and just mind my own business. If you wait until there’s no one in there you probably won’t get to go in. Talking to them like she did is where things go south not by getting in there.
@RandomBogey Diagnosing someone you haven’t had as a patient is against APA ethics
@Sniperboy5551 She's allowed to express her professional opinions. That's how the court use professionals all the time who haven't treated someone..they just ask their opinions based on knowledge.
There are so many of these cases with women predators lately, it's insane! I don't think this is a new surgence of cases though. I think it's just now being taken seriously! Anyone remember the "Stacy's mom" song/time period? It was kind of seen as a joke to me as a teen but now I'm 34 with a son. This scares me!
It's being ignored/tolerated/praised less often than before.
Always has been. It’s just being publicized more than ever.
Yes, I definitely remember the song. I am in my 30s and I have a 14 year old boy, I would definitely hate for a woman my age to approach him in that way.
I’ve noticed that too!!! So scary and disturbing. I cannot imagine confiding in a young boy about my life story
There’s a lot of girls who never left their hot girl summer stage, even if their marital status happened to change in the meantime. When I was in my early 20s I had women of all ages come on to me aggressively, or just be disrespectfully flirty or physically flirty, married as well, I think they want to feel the validation of having someone young be turned on by them. There’s a certain type that does this and there’s something off about them you realize it when you grow up a bit.
I wonder how she would feel as a mother if a 38 yr old stranger took her child’s innocence. Absolutely disgusting.
How sad. I will say that this “doctor” has no right to throw out random diagnoses for this woman. As well, it is not wrong to get in a hot tub? Unless you have impure thoughts or intentions.
This guest not only spoke, yelled over the reporter the whole time. I understand being upset and angered by this woman’s abhorrent behavior, but when coming on as a doctor you should be professional!
@KuratedKitten Agree. And saying the woman should be put away forever is ridiculous. Not to exonerate her behavior, but she loses credibility when she speaks out of her arse.
😂😂😂woman logic 🤡
Wtf if this were a grown man in the hot tub with two 15 year old girls you wouldn’t find it weird?
I agree. I treat mental illness. No one I know would literally diagnose someone by video or just paper. They might say, “this looks a lot like…..” but not outright diagnose. Especially, the diagnosis of sociopath or psychopath. That’s so weird!
wait, shes not a teacher?
I’m 41, and have 4 kids-two boys, two girls. My boys are 18 (as of last week), and 15. My girls are 6 and almost 3. When I see my boys and their friends I still see them as little kids!!!!! How could any grown woman, especially a “mother” look at a 15 year old and think oh this is a good idea?! They are CHILDREN!!! Even my 18 year old and his friends! I still look at them as little kids!! She has definitely done this before! What 38 year old is that comfortable even snap chatting a bunch of teenagers?! I have a snap chat acct that’s offloaded because I would do funny filters with my 6 year old. I can’t even figure out how to work it right!
Why is there suddenly such a flurry of these cases? WHY? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
That's what I've been saying!
It's being ignored less often.
People are making more and more money covering it.
boys are looksmaxxing these days it wasnt like that like 10 years ago
girls like dink
The real victims of this are her sons, they cannot ever fully detach from her. I feel for her husband, but her sons will always have to know that their mother's the way she is, and every other boy will know this as well...
Yeah I feel bad for her kids more than anything.
Not the 15 yo boys?
Stay single, fellas. Never settle.
Just come out that closet whenever you’re ready there will be so much more room once you come out
@@edithandlezwhat
Married young, going on 5 years this year, happier than ever. Find God and get married to God-fearing women, men.
Married young got cheated on. You never know what a person will become over time. It’s ridiculous to promise a lifetime to someone even if you’ve known them for a couple years. Not worth the stress. And throwing religion into it all, I wish that helped instead of just gave empty promises but let’s be real lol
@@edithandlez😂
There's some boys at that age that wouldn't complain but this kids did. Something quite creepy must have happened for them to be freaked out. And showing up next day at the game just made it even more creepy. Crazy woman.
*There are some boys... *, but these kids did. *the next day
@@January. Thanks. English is a second language for me and grammar is still a challenge. That lady is still crazy.
You're ridiculous !!! Those kids said that most likely because law enforcement scared them. It's a common tactic in cases like this.
@eac1235 no actually in the police reports they were saying how they regretted it, were uncomfortable directly to her and each other over text when their phones were confiscated for evidence. Not disagreeing about police using this tactic on people though, just starting that the boys were definitely victims here.
@@kendramortenson617Well if they achieved erection, penetration and ejaculated ,they don't regret anything. I was 16 when I got with a 38 year old lady, married with 3 kids. Best learning experience ever and what's more still friends. She went through chemo a couple years back and I was there for her. Her husband had passed a few years before.
Absolutely abhorrent behavior. Also, the guest and alleged Dr you had on was incredibly reckless with her commentary, offhandedly diagnosing folks and stating her thoughts so strongly with the credentials she has is very dangerous.
Just WHY?? And she admitted to a 17-18 year old the previous weekend. Have there been other young teens?
There's always more. Predators never stop at one.
I bet there was
Predators have to start somewhere, sometime?
An 18 year old wouldn’t matter , it’s gross but not illegal
@@Kwildcat13 I meant other younger teens like these 15 year olds. Just didn’t word it correctly
She's perfectly fine mentally. She knew exactly what she was doing 🤦🏾♂️
Same could be said of the young men . If she had left it at the shenanigans in the room nobody would have found out . The guys panicked when she turned up at the game the following day and came up with the regrets and creepy stuff to cover there own arses with there parents . Mine would have kicked my arse or getting involved with some one old enough to be my mother and getting her into trouble
Yo. Actual psychiatrists do not use the term “crazy”. This perpetrator was wrong, but this “expert” witness may be batshit crazy herself. This channel is better than this.
100% agree. Doubt she ever see;s any of her patients and just makes her mind out about them from what she has read .
Absolutely disgusting "doctor". Look at her eyes.

I got with a 15 year old… WHEN I WAS 15!!!! I’m 20 now and just like the doctor said about her 20y/o daughter - I wouldn’t go into a hot tub with 2 strangers let alone anybody underage like wtf?!!?

@@tyrellanderson4722 what’s your head shaking for tyrell?
Great insight interview. Thank you both
Awful. She could have gone out and found a 19-year-old willing guy. But I think the fact that she chose two 15 year old boys.... It makes me so mad because I never looked at a boy in that way since being 20. When I was 18 I may have looked at a younger boy but that is different. She's old enough to have given birth to them.
And speaking of kids, how is this going to affect her kids? She didn't think of any of that. Awful woman.
Sounds like you convicted her already.
Today's society has accepted this way since post metoo
Right this story sounds bizarre I don’t believe it
This generation of 304s is absolutely insane man…
If her husband divorces her she will STILL get custody of the kids, child support and the house.
The mother-favoring family courts are beyond cruel to kids and dads.
Highly doubt it, if she loses the case, the government defo wouldn’t leave the kids with her
@-MattMcCauley- -- That's NOT how these cases work.
To push back, one needs to look no further than the Harmony Montgomery case!
No she won’t! She will get those kids taken away from her. I’ve seen it happen for far less. The courts do not side with mothers like some people think they do
It is not safe to have kids around her.
She will be in jail , did you miss the crime part
How does a lady pull this off? her family nearby. The kids in the hot tub have adults nearby too. The mom is left alone that long? Crazy.
Pathetic...and so is the Man if he stays
And so are the boys for telling
Cheaper to keep her 😂
It wasn't her first time, I betcha. My take on this is that she showed up later at the hockey game with the hope that the boys had told all their friends, and there would be more boys for her to hook up with.
I mean at that point, let the whole team hit. All I see is Ws here 😂

15 is teen not children but yes doesn’t make it right.
I agree. It's illegal because they're below the age of consent. 15 is a teen, not a little boy. The guests reaction is way over the top.
If she got pregnant would the boys owe her child support?
Think she made sure they used condoms
Yes when they turn 18 they will owe child support unless they get married and live happy ever after no?
This woman is clearly very unwell. There’s a lot to unpack there. I feel for her husband & her children & those 15yr old boys. As a mother of a now 20 yr old I would want someone to go to jail if they did that to my son. I would be mortified. It’s disgusting & scary
Your son would be fiiiine.
Very unpopular opinion: The real victims are her children and husband. I had something similar happen to me when I was just 16. It was my recently divorced 30 year old neighbor. I had delivered newspapers to her house since I was 10. It didn't affect my life at all (but everyone is different).
It is illegal and 100% morally disgusting. But I think the boys will be okay. I sure hope so anyway.
It also depends on weather or not the boys were willing participant. Not that it makes this right. But there it does indeed make a difference.
In Germany it would be legal 🤷
@@Meii652Yep age of consent is 15.
@@eac1235 Grossly, its the age of consent in a few state in the US too
100% agree with you. Boys will be alright, other than I think some shame with their mom. I hate to say it, but... boys will be boys. Sorry but sometimes it's true.
I was never this lucky as a teen.
Had dalliances with three older females in my teens . Happy times and no trauma then or now
@johnbarlow4572
I wanted a dalliance with my 7th grade history teacher. He was probably in his mid-30s at the time, and was also a football coach. I flirted with him somewhat aggressively during class. I would study, just so that I could be the first to raise my hand in class. Then I would answer the question in a seductive manner. Had he taken the bait, I would not have reported it, nor do I think I would've been traumatized. So long as violence wasn't involved. I am in no way condoning such illegal and predatory behavior, I'm just saying...❤
@@johnbarlow4572Same here ,except it was with only one. I was 15 almost 16 and she was 38 . Went on until I was 19. No trauma etc and I'm still friends with her.
So do teen girls also get “lucky?”
@rajanfellows3343 never been a teen girl.
As a survivor of this kind of misconduct by a woman and a man, I'm bloody well disgusted. It's so creepy that she went to the boys' hockey game, and that's why I consider those monsters and what they did as unforgivable. I feel nauseated by this.
Why would she tell kid’s something like that ⁉️
It's usually a teacher but every single day it's the same storyline, different woman. I don't understand.
Sociopath, psychopath? Perhaps a stretch without more information. There are lots of other mental health conditions that could explain her behavior.
😂😂🤡
I was 15 once I definitely would not have been traumatized but I would have been pretty happy
Did you see that full body shot of her? Even at 15 that would have disgusted me, and I would have told her to stay away.
@@snapmalloy5556 Only thing stopping me is the married thing.Irate husband on my tail i knew was a bad idea even at 15
Almost every teenage boy would be delighted. The media is so out of touch.
@@Chavez58677run by people who think the genders are the same what do you expect?
This lady is super dramatic, lol. Locked up for life? So you're saying what she did is equal to a mass shooting or what a serial killer does?
Wow I feel bad for her husband. Imagine being a husband and finding out that your wife cheating on you with young boys!
Just WHY!? 🤦🏻♀️💀
If she’s married, why is she dating a teenage boy? I’m fine with cougars flirting younger men over 18, but dating a 15-year-old boy toy is beyond creepy.
Did you even watch the video? There was no "dating". She went up to a room and blew a kid. Straight to prison.
I think the fact she is married is the least of concerns here...
This woman is dangerous especially her making up stories
Not dating, she just met them for the first time, in the hot tub while on vacation.
Both of what you said are disgusting... that's the problem.. there's no respect for young ppl as a whole ... it's all about being hyper sexualized..
DATE OR MARRY YOUR OWN FKN AGE , HOW HARD IS THAT????!!!
Allison Schardin was bored with her life. I think she was recapturing her youth
I'm guessing she went to their hockey game to see if she could continue carrying on with them, or ask if they know of others who might be down for some "fun".
If she had not dne that all would have been fine
To everyone who thinks that this sort of thing is "awesome": Do you think that it should be legal? Do you not realize that this does a lot of damage, often hurting the ability of men to form healthy relationships?
I’d take that deal in a second.
Hard to say as we are all different . As i lost my virginity to an older lady at that age i would probably have accepted her invite to her room if she was not married as even at that age i knew having an irate husband on my tail was not a good idea . Had dalliances with two others in my teens and suffered no ill effects then or since
@@chuddlevideos Do you think that it should be legal?
@@johnbarlow4572 That's good for you, but that anecdote isn't broadly representative.
Good for the boys. They aint scarred. She fulfilled their fantasies.
What if they get an STD from her ? Would you think that's still their fantasies ? Or she gets pregnant ? The boy(s) would be forced to pay child support.
This has gone on forever and is more widespread than anyone realizes. No one talked about it, or even thought it was a crime. But a first year teacher at 21 or 22 and a 17 year old senior is less horrifying than 39 & 14.
This is just sickening. I hope she goes away for a long time.
Sooo sick 🤢
Still one of my fantasies. Lucky dudes😂
Trust me no regular woman is strong enough to hold down two athletic teenage hockey players. That third kid watching was diabolical though! Since he got no action, he naturally told the police out of bitter revenge.
Teens are just wimps these days and should not get involved in these shenanigans .
WHERE WERE THESE WOMEN WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL
Yeah like she's a hot fine mommy 😂😂
Right? I'm tryna get "abused" too shiiiet 😂
Everything seems well on her social media accounts. she seems to be embracing the spotlight
What you want with kids, unbelievable
This is not first time, this is first time media taking it seriously
Those boys must have thought they hit the lottery
Ofc she had a husband. Men is it worth it?
I know a lot of 15 year old boys who would love this kind of encounter. It is however illegal.
Yeah 😂😂
I like how the reporter is being real and calling them kids not boys or young boys cause they are kids
Where was husband?? She just snuck out on him... gross.
Obviously tgis is not right , but to say she should never be free is extreme
Women & Men are different, these women have never lived a second as a hormone filled teenage boy. I have and I've got a totally different view of these cases.
She showed up to the hockey game as a manipulative tactic; a love bombing action thinking the boys were infatuated with her, keeping them in her control. This woman is clearly depressed and acting out of that state and it sounds like she has been for quite some time.
Where were these kinds of teachers when I was in high school?
She's not a teacher ?
@@johnbarlow4572 oops I get all these milfs and teachers confused.
Not paying attention to you.
No double standards.
15 is so young. Boy or girl. So sad
She has a grown man to sleep with, yet she chooses to sleep😮 with and send inappropriate texts to teenagers. Makes me wonder if her children were safe around her. I hope her husband file for divorce and full custody. These men and women who go after these children are so disgusting! Story after story, day after day. Same ole sick stories.
Would have hightailed it out of there when she said she was married but if she was single i ain't declining her advances .
Where were all these women when I was in highschool.
Where was the parents? Where was her husband ??? Sooo many ?s
They said the husband was 8n the hotel room!!!
There has been a significant increase in female predators in just the last few years. Why is this happening?
It's just being ignored/tolerated/praised less often than before.
They dont get punished like men do therefore whats to fear if you only get probation
It's just being noticed more from social media, text evidence. Then people not tolerating and celebrating it so much.
equality is finally taking place
Na. Just getting called out more.
Ridiculous to even suggest a life sentence for this woman while we have murderers getting much less time. My late wife's niece was murdered and the perp got 10 years.
This is sickening to hear. What is wrong with people nowadays?! Gawd.
Its ok she will get probation and no social stigmas like it never happened amazing the double standard in this country
Where were all of these women when I was 15?
I don't get.the nuts and bolts of how this kind of stuff happens.. apparently I am just out of the loop so to say because it seems soooo far fetched to even imagine this whole thing actually going down.

Thia woman needs to go to prison! This is DISGUSTING!
Two boys on the hockey team was hot for someones mom. We didn't have cellphones when we were the boys age, we had Playboy.
What is going on with the influx of women predators lately?? Are the numbers really going up, and if so why? Or is it happening the same amount but finally being reported more and taken more seriously? Or is the media doing what the media does best and manipulating data to make certain crimes seem like they're getting worse, by reporting them to us more often now? It's an interesting and alarming phenomenon for sure.
