Then you would want an adult to talk to your child in that manner? No child? How about neice, nephew, grandchild or any other relative? Perv's usually always start out with words. Sad but TRUE you have to prove you are innocent first in this state.

Child porn in THIS instance is being lewd and talking sexual to anyone under 17. This is NOT a matter of picturea of little kids in sex acts. THAT is not a sicko or wacko...its not kiddie porn pics. Arkansas code 5-27-603. Its is what he is charded with nothing about pictures...and the pictures ARE aledged...so some people should shut their judgments up till trial...

nospinzone All I know to tell you is if you ever get in any trouble with the law...... You'll find out how true that's not. They say that but if you are the one behind bars. you will have to prove you're innocents to get out or stay out... You can count on that!!!!

People say what they want, but Tim o'shields is not a bad person, nor a whacko, nor a pervert as some have said. Sounds like the media has already decided before there is even a court case. Let's bypass due process and order the firing square right now...I thought in America people were INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty!!!

all of the people on here saying that this man is not stupid...well it's pretty stupid to engage in any type of relationship, other than educational, with a high school student. Good guy or not, he knew better. Do I believe they should charge him with sexual assault, no I don't. He didn't assault her and it's not like she's a child, the girl's 17, hardly an innocent age. I know b/c I used to be a 17 yr old girl who had plenty of crushes on my male teachers but they were professional enough to not be a perv. He should be stripped of his teaching priviledges though..
