UPDATE 9/30/08 - We have several other stories on Kelsey Peterson here, here, and here. For those of you unfamiliar with this case, or who haven’t been members here for the year since this case began,  click those links for some fun reading.   Not just background on the case, those articles are a great example of the true crime genesis of this site.  When this case broke, Morbid was doing all the front page work himself and running the site pretty much single-handedly with just a few mods in the forums.   Check us a year later – we’ve come a long way, baby!

And what a year it’s been for our favorite pedoteacher, Kelsey Peterson.  After being caught red-pantied with her 13-year-old victim/paramour/gangbanger, Peterson tried to convince a judge in December that her child boyfriend abused her and was the dominant party in their sexual relationship.  Yeah, the judge didn’t buy it either, and ordered Peterson held pending trial.

Now, almost a year after lighting out for Mexico with her not-man, Kelsey Peterson is paying the piper at last.  Not enough, you understand, but something.  In JulyIn July reviews, Peterson took a deal and pled guilty to the lesser charge of taking a minor across state lines to have sex.  Her victim, Fernando Rodriguez, was twelve when she began molesting him in 2006.   Peterson had sex with the boy two to three times a week for months at a time, taking a break during 2007 when Fernando moved away for a few months.  When he came back, she was at him again, telling him that she loved him and that he was “special”.  Soon they were having sex again.

Peterson decided to flee to Mexico with Fernando after a call from a detective to his cell phone while the pair was out together having a picnic.  The detective wanted to talk with the boy about his sixth grade math teacher.  Yes, she was his SIXTH GRADE math teacher.

At her sentencing on SeptemberSeptember reviews 29, Peterson boo-hooed and acted all sorry. But even in jail she told investigators she “wasn’t sure” she would change her relationship with her victim if she had the opportunity.  So not tons of remorse there, really.   Peterson was sentenced to six years in jail, of which she has served one year already.  She could be out on parole in four years.  By that time, Fernando will be of legal age.  He is fourteen now and enjoying the first semester of eighth grade.
