Funny, these two school staff are also from Georgia and got busted for the same crime, having sex with students...

Two former staffers at a school in northwest Georgia have been indicted on charges they had sex with students.

The indictment says a Gordon County Grand Jury indicted Railey Greeson and Brooklyn Shuler on charges they had sexual contact in the first degree.

The indictment says between October 2021 and January 2022, Greeson had sex with 2 male students, and Shuler had sex with one male student. The indictment didn't provide the students' ages.

The indictment said the women “reasonably should have known” the male students were enrolled as a student, in violation of Georgia Code 16-6-5.1(b), “contrary to the laws of said State, the good order, peace and dignity thereof.”

Right now, we don't know exactly which school district employed the women.

2 Georgia Teachers Arrested After Allegedly Having Sex With Same Student, 1 Amit To The Crime
Two teachers in Georgia have been arrested after they were accused of having sex with the same student, leading to the closure of their school. More than one year after their arrests, one of the teachers has been sentenced after she admitted to having sex with a 15-year-old student several times.

Sherri Delle Mauldin was sentenced to 12 years in prison and 25 years of probation on Monday, May 18, according to the Union-Recorder. The crime took place at Christian school Nathanael Greene Academy, which has since closed following the scandal.

Mauldin, 61, argued during the trial that she deserved to not go to prison and claimed she molested the child because she was in a “dark place.”

However, prosecutors pushed for her to be sentenced for 18 years due to the disturbing nature of a “60-year-old adult” abusing a “15-year-old child.”

California Highway Patrol Says This Pickup’s Load Relied on “Pure Optimism”
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Hayward Division pulled over an unlicensed driver who was hauling a dangerously oversized, unbalanced, and unsecured load with hazard lights on while traveling only 15 mph in a 40-mph zone. The truck was subsequently impounded, and the driver was cited

I've used my pickup truck to haul stuff too but never that extreme or unsafe:
