They seem to pop up with surprising regularity. If you flip them around, they're not so appealing anymore. The media love these types of stories. They seem to pop up with surprising regularity.

Let's see what justice has to say at the end of the case. Let's not destroy someone's life to sell more newspapers. If she is really guilty, she will get enough jail time I think we need to learn from the Duke case. Let’s see what justice has to say at the end of the case.

Obviously the reporters on the case think them to be more lurid details to report than just plain old vanilla. Fiona – it would seem that way?

They will do anything to get a story and will fabricate the truth. I am a former Saint Francis Xavier student. I am in the same year as the student who made these allegations. For all the people that have read the newspapers and the news articles, I hope to god you have not judged Tania Tominac on what you have read or the pictures you have seen. Tania is slender, fit and naturally beautiful for her age... this DOES NOT make her a sexual predator. People see her blonde hair and great physique and will already judge her, and quite frankly, that's not fair. The newspaper articles have taken the worst of the allegations/statments made by this boy (who, might I add, has a history of lying, excessive drug use and abusive behaviour) and have made Tania sound like a sex-crazed predator. For all who don't know her, you should know; Tania Tominac is a beautiful and loving wife and mother of 3; her children are all supportive, honest, considerate and kind-hearted. Tania was the type of motherly person that you could go to when you left your lunch at home and she would loan a few gold coins for the canteen. Tania was the type of teacher that would help anyone and everyone, and you could approach her with any issue. For many of us, she was the one we went to for advice and counselling because she was so motherly and happy to make time for you if you were in need. She was a close friend to our whole year goup, and we missed her greatly. It is not fair that the one teacher that actually cared for the students welfare and tried to make a difference in our lives, ends up in a horrible situation like this, where a student has taken that care, support and trust of a teacher and made it something sinister. Tania treated her students like people, she treated us like young adults who can accomplish anything. Many of the other teachers instead just viewed students as I.D. Numbers, not bothering to get to know anyone, and not trully caring about anything other than what was prescribed in their job description. For those of you that have been following this story, and have been reading all the one-sided media; please don't judge someone you don't know and do not be MISLEAD by the Media. This court case has the potential to destroy a innocent woman's life, and in doing so, destroying the lives of her family.
