I don't believe you, and the article says "Detectives say they arrested Strandberg after learning of an inappropriate relationship he allegedly had with a 16-year-old female student." It doesn't say "arrested after the suspect confessed". I'm not finding you very credible.
You don't have to believe me. I don't have the facts of this case, but I can tell you that people confess every day. I will tell you that we don't put press releases out when people give us statements/confessions.

:rolleyes:

there wouldn't be much way of knowing a confession was fake unless it was known first hand whether the incident went down or not...correct? You can try your :bs: with the other people but I have seen enough of the system's corruption to know that there are not many instances they will just let someone go...a false confession is sometimes (should be rare, you'd hope) preferred to having an innocent man get away...when the evidence isn't there, that is their last hope at conviction :shrug:


on that note...I am NOT a cop basher, I am friends with a couple and there are others that are very nice guys (and gals)...I simply call it as I see it with corrupt :bs:
Well lets put our cards on the table. I have been in law enforcement for fifteen years. I have never seen any police officer in Southern Maryland lie about a confession. Tell me one case that you know of which a police officer in Southern Maryland has lied?

What corruption have you been witness to in your eighteen years of life?

You say you call it as you see it, but earlier if I remember correctly you said you are getting this information second hand. Is that really seeing it?

You say things son, maybe just to stir the pot, maybe because you really don't know, but whatever the reason, you neve seem to be able to back it up.

I don't know how it is in Saint Mary's County, but you and I both know the system here in Charles County is very corrupt.

That has nothing to do with the Cops.

Charles County = Guilty Until Proven Innocent

I understand what speculation is. I understand you were speculating on the incident and the character of the victim.

What I don't understand, is why you would speculate the victim had a less than reputable character?

I have been in this field for just about fifteen years. Perhaps you have some education or experience contrary to my education and experience. I am taught that there are predatory persons, who seek out a specific sort of individual to commit these sort of crimes.

Share to care your training or experience to better educate me? I believe I can learn something new each day.

WOW. :shocking:

I need experience & training to post on an internet forum & express an opinion about current events? Who knew! :lmao:

I think you all are disgraceful for ripping this guy to shreds when you don't know what happened and are merely operating on speculation.

For all you know, the girl came onto him, he spurned her, and now she's getting revenge. Or she may have just told a friend she was messing with the cute drumline coach, that friend told other people, and it eventually got back to parents or school officials.

You don't know. But you are happy to eviscerate him anyway.

Sick.

:yeahthat:

It's not a far stretch to think that. Not sure if you're a guy or a girl, but when I was in high school which was years ago, young girls were always ga-ga over the younger teachers and some of those girls were pretty forward.

You been around the high school girls of today? You see how they dress and how they talk and act?

I'm not saying this fellow was right or wrong but I can certainly see where things may not seem as cut and dried with him being totally in the wrong, if at all.
:yay:

Actually, it turned out to be worse than what I speculated - he actually killed the Mom before he killed the kids and himself. :cool:

Ambiguous police reports are just that - ambiguous. They don't mean a hill of #### other than that *something* happened. What that something is is a matter for the police to determine, not a bunch of nuts on a forum.

Not only that, but just because someone was charged with something doesn't mean they actually did it. And teen girls aren't these sweet little virgin babies that some of you all are trying to make them out to be. You see these sluts on the street all the time with their crap hanging out and their big pregnant bellies, so why they suddenly turn into Susie Creamcheese the second an adult man takes a look at them is beyond me.
And they're doing it earlier & earlier! I've been volunteering at some middle school events & see the way some of these gals are dressing & acting without mommy & daddy around - hoo boy! It's mostly the 8th grade girls, but there are a some of the 7th graders, too. And in the bathroom with the cell phones! You don't know if they're taking U-Tube "hoo hoo" pictures or what! They get so snippity/flippity when we tell them to get outta there & put away the phones...

Bann,
I work at elementary and middle schools, 5 days a week. Even in elementary school, you just wouldn't believe.

That is not the way it works. Unfortunately, sex crimes are the most under reported crime, as well as the most over reported false report of a crime. Therefore, in most jurisdictions, and especially in the jurisdiction this man was arrested in, charges are not brought without substanative evidence against the accused.

I don't have the details of this case, but I am shocked that so many people here would lay blame with a sixteen year old when a teacher/instructor/band coach would engage in sexual activity with her.

It is plain and simple wrong on his part!

Often these cases are a guy befriending the students he is working with, then finding the shy, introverted student who doesn't get attention from the boys and starting a relationship with them.

Again, I don't have particulars on this investigation, however, I am familiar with the way these investigations are conducted, as the study of people who commit these crimes.

Everyone is entitled to thier opinion, but there has been some unfair speculation about victims. I would suggest if you don't know, don't work in the field, then perhaps you should comment on the suspect and leave speculation about the victim alone.

If she is an innocent, and she hears or reads this, then isn't that just victimizing her again?

I didn't say you needed training and experience. You seem to have some knowlege of why this girl would be less than reputable. I am just asking what you are basing your opinion on?

I'll leave you with this. Lets see what the outcome on this case is and that will tell us who is right or wrong.

As I said in another post, there are few crimes of this nature where convictions are not won due to the intensive nature of the investigation, and the overwhelming amount of evidence presented in these sort of cases.

WTH are you talking about? I am not talking about lying about a confession, I am talking about the cops (we're talking higher ups too, not the guys out on the street necessarily..I give all of my props to them) getting someone to confess to a crime they didn't even commit (or say...a guilty plea for a lesser crime just because the person doesn't want further public incrimination for something like a sexual abuse crime).

I said one of the instances was second hand, the other, I was there first hand through it all. It didn't happen to me but I was there for the arrest and there for the trial...thats right, a bs case even went all the way to trial. This wasn't our county though, so I can't say that OUR county is corrupt necessarily. If you want my honest opinion on our residing county, I think that the police just get a bit lazy at times (maybe its from frustration, I don't know, I'm not a cop) and people get arrested for things they didn't do or let off for things they should be charged with all because the cops don't want to bother doing the proper investigation (Again, by cops, I'm not talking about the police doing the streetwork daily...necessarily. I am talking about lazy investigators and such).

My summary. I am not a COP basher per se...I have the utmost respect for those ones who do their job and give up time with THEIR families to protect me and mine. I also have NO respect for some of the lazy investigating that gets done that, again, I have experienced first and second hand. Isn't that frustrating for a cop to do his job, get the bad guy, only to have that guy let off because the investigator decided to sit at his desk instead of getting out there and proving the guy guilty?

Hi dum-dum. :howdy:

16 is legal in Maryland. If I weren't a full-time CCPS employee, that would be fair game. :shrug:

:buttkick:
I would bet that it's not blatantly legal. Maybe legal if consentual, legal if 16yr old is aggressor. If it can be proven that a 16yr old was manipulated, pysically or mentally my guess is it's no longer legal. I'm sure there are very fine lines surrounding whether 16 is legal or not.

In any event just because it is legal to does not mean it is morally right.

cuz you think that "taking it to fight club" is a super bad threat.....
I just wanted to take it out of this thread. Nobody called it a super bad threat - but there's no need to fill up 27 pages of witty remarks. Oh, I'm sorry, all you've got are lame boring one-liners.

I'm bored with you. :yawn:

oh, and the fact that you are skeered of wemins :faint:
:snooze:

Another boring misstatement. :yawn:
