Teacher accused of raping student while class watched
By Deanna Boyd
Star-Telegram Staff Writer

FORT WORTH - A substitute teacher was arrested Thursday on a warrant accusing him of raping a 14-year-old girl in a Horizons Alternative School classroom while other students watched.

Police began investigating Franklin David Lawson, 21, on Wednesday after a woman told the school's principal what her son said he had witnessed last week. Lawson was arrested at his home in Fort Worth and taken to the Mansfield Jail. Bail was set at $75,000.


"Quite honestly, initially the details were such we were a little skeptical until we talked to all the parties involved," said Fort Worth police Sgt. Dave Stamp, supervisor of the Crimes Against Children Unit. "Then skepticism turned into shock."


When officers first questioned the girl, she denied that an assault took place but later said it had occurred, Stamp said.


"She was initially embarrassed to talk to anybody about it," he said.


Stamp said statements by other students in the classroom match the girl's account.


"They're all very consistent, the terminology as well as the details of the offense," he said.


Lawson was assigned on Jan. 23 to be a substitute at the alternative school for students with discipline problems. Stamp said Lawson walked into the classroom and found two boys playing with the girl in a sexual manner in a space between a bookshelf and a wall.


According to the students, Stamp said, Lawson asked the boys whether they were trying to have sex with the girl, then told them that he would show them how it's done.


The students who were in the classroom told police that Lawson told the girl to bend over, pulled down her pants and his own, and raped her.


"Because she is a student and he is a teacher in a position of authority, she may have been intimidated by the fact," Stamp said.


About seven students witnessed the incident but did nothing to stop it or report it, Stamp said. The substitute teacher told students in the classroom not to tell anyone about it, Stamp said.


"It's just hard to believe there were so many people present, and nobody took action to stop the assault or notify school staff, and we had to learn about it through a third person," he said.


Fort Worth school district officials declined to comment on the specifics, saying they are cooperating with police on an open investigation.


Cecilia Speers, the district's director of student affairs, said the substitute teacher "no longer is employed with the district."


Police said they believe that Lawson began teaching in the district in August, but school personnel officials could not immediately confirm how long he had been employed.

everything is funny, including rape. don't believe me, just imagine Elmer Fudd raping Porky Pig. that's fucking hysterical.

dumbass said:

there is a difference between reality and some stupid joke about porky pig being raped by elmer fudd..

that teacher - what utter scum. that is so sick and disgusting and people who joke about it are just as disgusting.

[Snipped for flames. Ian]

OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, OH-MY-GOD!!! I cannot fucking believe this!! I want this asshole strung up by his balls & his ass reamed with a long, rusty screwdriver!!! This prick has not only given the boys something horrific to live with for the rest of their lives (whether they know it or not) but he's probably ruined this girls life on top of assaulting her. How the bloody hell do you undo damage like that???

I swear to God the things people do in this world makes me never want to have kids. Why in the hell hasn't this been on the news?? Have I missed this? We can talk about a sensationalized Sopranos type killing of a Southern California mom but we can't talk about this??? I'm OUTRAGED...

What's so scary to me is how many people witnessed it and did nothing to stop it! Truly tragic...

It is very sad and SICK!!!

Here's an update.
http://www.dfw.com/mld/st...078404.htm

I find it funny that all the kids pretty much had the same exact story when questioned by police. We're talking about teenagers here... do you really think they could ALL remember the same story?!

I'm with the others here... theres nothing funning about Rape. It's not even a subject to joke around with regardless.

If you have rude commets like that to add, please don't add anything at all.

Much Love,

absolutely there is a difference between reality and fiction, but that does not mean jokes cannot be made. this situation is so outrageous and so disgusting that it is only fair to make fun of it. are you and muse so dimwitted that you can't spot sarcasm when it is being used?

pathetic.

dumbass said:

Speaking of pathetic, trying to live up to your name is unbecoming. If you have a daughter that's ever raped hopefully you'll be equipped enough to see how idiot your rhetoric is and exhibit some common sense. I guess any attention is better than none for some.

i know at times i show a lack of taste on this site...but i would NEVER joke about sexual abuse of children...it's just NOT FUCKING FUNNY...surely there has to be a line...and to me...this sort of shit oversteps it...if i seem like a hypocrite...tough

Supernova said:

that's the fucking point...YOU DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S EVEN BEEN RAPED!

Many a men have been charged with a crime and not convicted, and rightfully so. all of you are getting upset over something that may never have actually occured. the witnesses may have their own agenda, may not like the teacher and want to get back at him for some reason. who knows?

I took a position of a ridiculous nature to exemplify a possible excuse for the incident, not because I felt that the girl actually deserved it or that teachers were going to rape their students back into control of the schools, but because there wold actually be NO EXCUSE for such behavior.

and just as equally ridiculous as my statements were, and were intentionally, all of your responses were equally ridiculous, but not because you meant them to be but because you aren't intelligent enough to keep them from being so.

Wake up to the real world. withhold your judgement until a judgement has been made. I'm sure you will duck around the fact of the matter if this teacher is not convicted and justify your words by saying they were only meant as a criticism against my joking about rape in general. But I am not joking about rape in general I am joking about this specific incident. there is a huge difference.

furthermore, if this asshole is convicted I'll put my money where my mouth is and be first in line to beat the living daylights out of him, and will even do the duty of raping him myself, because that's what I think of this miserable sack of shit...if it is true.

but if it is not, what are all of you willing to do? unfortunately for you, it is more difficult to change the hard wiring of your brains that lead to such over-reactions than to have an open mind that is able to see all aspects of the world...even those aspects that we don't like to see or are unwilling to accept even exist.

dumbass said:

You just don't get it... Our concern is with your mental outlook. Your hard wire is frightening! The I would rape him back, is case in point!
Rebuke a fool though and you get a fool's reward. I know better then to try !

dumbass said:

dumbass said:

Bloody hell NO, that is not the point. Even the idea of whether she has or not, and the comments you've made in this thread in context of the story are INEXCUSABLE. But I really don't expect you to ever admit to it.


Sure, you keep trying to convince yourself of that, dumbass. And continue on with your lame, flimsy, blame-shifting excuses as your last refuge of diverting attention away from your comments by calling other people dimwitted and unintelligent. The fact that you keep trying to explain your way out of it in this thread belies your rhetoric.

what you should all worry about is your delusional outlook on life and the world we live in.

if you prefer to ingest all the horrors of the world we live in and let them eat at you, and cause you distress, so be it. you can suffer from the mental ill effects of such behavior.

I on the other hand acknowledge those horrors and let them go. suffering does not bring righteousness.

I laugh because a teacher raping a student isn't so much horrifying as it is just ridiculous and deserves to be laughed at. you can laugh and still punish, anger is not needed anywhere in the equation.

of course social activists, such as yourselves, need to stir emotion into your causes so you can persuade others to the cause, for the cause is part of your sense of self and without it you are nothing.

Just admit your comments were fucked up and leave it at that.

"if you prefer to ingest all the horrors of the world we live in and let them eat at you, and cause you distress, so be it. you can suffer from the mental ill effects of such behavior. of course social activists, such as yourselves, need to stir emotion into your causes so you can persuade others to the cause, for the cause is part of your sense of self and without it you are nothing." you can be funny when you want (and ridiculous at the same time hehe)
