LONDONDERRY, N.H. — A New Hampshire high school English teacher who allegedly e-mailed nude photos of herself to a 15-year-old male student was arrested Friday on a felony charge of indecent exposure and lewdness.

Melinda Dennehy, 41, of Hampstead, turned herself in to Londonderry police and was later released on $10,000 bond. She was placed on administrative leave from her job at Londonderry High School on Wednesday, the day school officials and police were notified about the pictures going around school.

The boy who received the photographs told police Dennehy also sent him text messages offering to have sex, and that she kissed him on the mouth in a classroom at least twice in recent months.

Several male students, including the recipient of the images, were interviewed, and at least one photograph shows Dennehy with her genitals exposed, Londonderry Detective Kristen Gore wrote in an affidavit.

Calls to the home of John and Melinda Dennehy in Hampstead seeking comment were not immediately returned.

The student who received the photos told police he forwarded them to two male friends. He also told police that Dennehy sent him text messages “continuously.”

Dennehy used her private AOL account to e-mail the photographs, according to a copy of an e-mail supplied to police, the affidavit said.

Because the boy who received the pictures is under the age of 16, Dennehy faces up to seven years in prison and a $4,000 fine, Londonderry Lt. Chris Gandia said.

It wasn’t immediately known if the boy who received the photos was one of Dennehy’s students. She has taught sophomore English at the school for three years.

Londonderry School Superintendent Nathan S. Greenberg said Dennehy was placed on paid leave Wednesday, the first day school resumed after the winter break. He said the school is conducting its own investigation and declined to provide further details.

Dennehy is scheduled to appear in Derry District Court on March 23.

good god ...

Let's see the pics.

He must be traumatized after all this.

I like the way your smutty brain works.

a) What's wrong with these women that they're lusting after babies?

b) Before anyone starts making smart ass comments about how they wish they had teachers like her growing up, ask yourselves how you'd react if this was a 41 year old man sending naked pics to a 15 year old girl.

Nope. I don't get hangovers.

why didn't she just put up a big billboard up of her naked ass? with a sign underneath that says....please lock me up and fine me, I'm an idiot!

It's been established on this board for a while now that men shouldn't send pics of their junk, period.

But I agree. The female teacher's usually get a slap on the wrist in comparison to their male counterparts.

Not too bad for 41...

what a fuckin' idiot

not you Ren, the teacher

I don't know. Have you seen some fifteen year old teen dudes? Some of them are practically adults, and on top of that they are at their sexual peak. Combine that with a woman who is also at her sexual peak, and they could be having hot wet money sex for hours.

I know you think that it's a double standard, but unfortunately the phenomenon of much older men pursuing young teen girls for sex is all too common. Plus if a guy is pursuing one young teen girl, he is likely to pursue other young teen girls until he is caught. It's not as common for cougar types to be pursuing young teen studs, and most of those who do usually are messed up emotionally and are in or have just left a bad relationship. Plus it's still considered awesome if a teen boy can bang some grown up woman.

The other think I notice is that most of these events happen either in small towns or suburbs with a heavy right-wing religious influence. It seems as though in big cities, there is much more stuff happening, so this type of stuff doesn't happen as often there.

Where were these teachers when I was in high school? I wouldn't have went for them because I was getting 15 year old girls...oh wait, yeah I would have...I'd stick it in a warm bowl of soup if it was thick enough, lol

Exactly .

Sillyass...

Did she think a 15 year old boy wasn't going to go around babbling to his friends or whomever? How and the hell did she not think it wouldn't lead to this, her arrest.

I'm wondering what the hell kind of satisfaction she thought she could get from some little kid.

meow85 said:

That's what I'm saying.

meow85 said:

maybe the kid actually learned something???

RenHoek said:

I dunno...

It's not that long ago that I was young enough to be doing 15 year olds. I wouldn't bother to repeat it, is what I'm saying.

Disgusting

luv4u said:

yep

This some Mary Kay Letourneau ish, and she ended up marrying and having kids with her lil prepubscent after getting out of jail.

Hell some of these 50 yr old men act like they still 15 any ole way....except without the stamina LOL.

Exactamundo!!!





But then again some of the same people applauding this type shit probably have sex fantasies about kids anyway. yeah i said it!

RenHoek said:

In what bizzaro universe is this chick 41? I must be spoiled cuz I've seen 40 year old chicks way hotter than this. Hopefully her body looks better than her face. Eh...lock her up.

RenHoek said:
