0:00 Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today I am bringing you another Bad Teacher Series episode, and we're going to go first to Norwiok, Connecticut and the Nathan Hale Middle School. And for this one, I'm going to tell you about forty seven year old guidance counselor by the name of Louisa mel Cownie. Nice little Italian name there, so I'm likely going to refer to her as Louisa from here on out. Now, let's get into it. On April twenty fourth of twenty twenty four, this is the current case. Y'aw the Norwalk PD. They receive a phone call from a male subject and he states that he had information about a public school teacher having inappropriate relationships with a student. Now, during the phone call, the mail was somewhat evasive and when the Irina the General Officer wanted the male subject to wait while he transferred the call to what is known as the Special Victim Genant.
1:08 The subject didn't wait. The subject hangs up, So of course they have caller ID the Special Victims Gennit. They call back that number and a male who would only provide his first name. He said his first name was Mike. He answered the phone. Mike told police that a friend who he identified as Louisa let him bar a cell phone because he had damaged his cell phone, dropped it or something, and he said Louisa had told him prior to letting him use that cell phone, hey, it's been wiped, and that was his words. Now, when he went to use it, he noticed there were messages still on that phone, specifically messages between Louisa and a student that were sexual in nature. So at this point, the officer speaking to him says, Okay, hold on, we need to discuss this more in person. And this guy was like totally against that.
2:11 He told the officer, Hey, I'll just call you back. He hangs up, and a few days later, the officer goes into work and there's a voicemail left for him and it's from Mike, and in that voicemail, he stated he wanted to get the officer's email because he was going to send him some screenshots from that phone. So the officer sends him the email, and shortly after that he does receive three emails and they contain seventeen different screenshots. So let's get into what these screenshots consisted of. Now, thirteen of those screenshots were text conversations. One contained a screenshot of a topless female. Another contained a female on her knees wearing a thong, and it was shown the back of her head. So imagine that screenshot being taken from like above, and all you can see is the back of someone's head. In her case, she had long brown hair, so you can see that, and then you could see a thong kind of underneath there. And one was a screenshot that showed money transactions, and another was a screenshot of a real estate bill. And there were a few pictures as well of a child who was identified as a male student. Now, detectives learned that said male student had recently moved to another school, so he wasn't at Lois's school at the time this was reported.
3:43 So on April thirtieth of twenty twenty four, an investigator heads to Nathan Hall Middle School where this teacher worked, and this investigator meets with the SRO of that school first, and he shows the SRO the student Resource officer that's a police officer that works at high schools and middle schools, things of that nature, elementary schools. He shows THATSRO one of the screenshots of the suspect, and he says, do you know this person as a teacher, And that SRO says, oh, yeah, that's Louisa Malchioni. And the picture that that detective actually showed the SRO was Louisa taking a selfie in a mirror, in her breastwork exposed, and her face is clearly seen in that picture. There's no denying it's her. That screenshot also clearly showed a phone number at the top of the screen, which belonged to the male student that she had sent that picture to. Detectives would learn later on.
4:43 So at this point a senior detective gets called in who kind of specializes in these types of cases, and he reviews those seventeen screenshots. He notes a text message with the words good morning on it and a picture the now identified teacher Louisa, topless in the mirror. Her face was partially covered with the phone, but you can clearly tell it's her. So she's taken this selfie and she's got the phone trying to block her face, but you can tell who it is. The student replied to that text by saying, quote, damn, you barely got any I guess talking about her brush, and the teacher replies, quote, you're so sweet. Then she says, wait till I see your and she inserts an eggplant e mulgy, which is kind of slang for penis, and the student of them replies, I am only and it's redacted his age for whatever reason, the first time I've seen an age redacted, but it's redacted out. We now know that this kid was thirteen at the time and she was forty seven, So he continued in that message to say, don't expect it to be a BBC, which is slang for big black cock.
6:01 She responds to that with then I would rub your dick on me, and she continues with you realize I'm gonna have to finger myself now, I'm so wet. Forty seven year old teacher, thirteen year old student, y'all now. Another screenshot provided shows a picture of an Apple pay application, and there's five payments that were sent to this student's nickname, one for fifteen dollars, one for fifty dollars, two for twenty dollars, and one for twenty five dollars, and another screenshot showed a tax bill and this is important because it was a bill to a home Louise owned with her husband and also where she lived, and this was on this student's van. That shows a lot of proof right there outside of just the pictures. So with all this evidence, the detective decides it's time to interview this kid.
6:59 He meets with the student and his father, and during that interview, the student admits to having conversations with the teacher that were sexual in nature, and when he was asked about the apple payments, the students said they were for food and uber rods. He went on to say that he stopped speaking with Louisa when he transferred schools on a regular basis anyway, but that he would still text back and forth with her occasionally, as recently as the week prior to this officer speaking with him. The officer asked if he ever received nuds from her, and he responded yes. And at this point the detective knew a more in depth interview would need to take place, and he schedules that with the father, and in the meantime, he speaks with that sro again at the school and the soro said that she had witnessed the teacher pulled students into her office with the door shut, which she's a guy counselor, so I could kind of see that not necessarily raising a red flag. I mean, sometimes with guidance counselors, students have very personal, private conversations, and so that didn't shock me that much, but the SRA thought it was important and brought it up. Next the mother, father, and the student, they meet with the detective and a child advocacy agent at the station and this student is interviewed by the child advocacy agent and the child states
8:32 that the relationship began in the spring of his seventh grade year. He said that by the end of that school year, the teacher continued to stay in contact with him by the way of text, and that the conversation became more sexual in nature. He stated he received pictures of the teacher's brust and butt, and he went on to say that the teacher asked for pictures of him, and said at first he was uncomfortable with this, but eventually he sent the teacher a picture of his penis. He said that after he sent it, Louisa sent him a voice message saying quote, holy shit, your dick is bigger than my husband's unquote. The student said when he returned to school for the fall, this would be his eighth grade year. He felt awkward at first, but he continued to text and talk with Louisa, as well as meeting her at her office. He stated that she would touch him on his penis, both under and over his clothing in that office. He said that at times she would want him to quote rub his penis against her butt in that she would tell this eighth grader, y'all quote, fuck me over my desk unquote. He said it felt weird to him because he couldnot believe it was happening.
9:58 He also stated she would give him more lap dances in her office and that she performed oral sex on him on numerous occasions. He said sometimes she would do this while he was sitting in a chair, and other times he would be standing and she would be on her knees. The student also confirmed that during these occasions, the door would be closed and the blind's drawn for obvious reasons. He said that the teacher would send him money, including one hundred dollars for Christmas, which y'all this happens a lot, especially with female sex offenders, and it's a big time grooming technique.
10:44 Jim, did you see what happened in Texas today? Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you what happened in New York. It cannot be as crazy as the case I told you about yesterday in Louisiana. You know what, we should do a podcast about it. And with that we did. Crime War Weekly covers the crime news headlines that have dominated the week. We cover trending crimes from all over the country and even sprinkle in a few globally.

He said after he moved schools, the relationship ended, but he would continue to get text and phone calls from Louisa. He said she would call from her office phone, and she stated that she was afraid to use her cell phone because she was worried her husband may find the pictures that she sent and the conversation text about the relationship. So police have all this information, they have all these interviews, and on July eleventh of twenty twenty four, police arrest Louisa, and she's charged with sexual assault and risk of injury to a child. Now, her defense attorney, he said what you would imagine a defense attorney would say, which is the charges being brought against this devoted mother with over twenty years in her profession or total bullshit. Her bond
12:16 is set, she does bond out, and she was placed on house arrest. She was also prohibited of any contact with miners outside of her three kids. And the last bit of information that I could find on this, which to me is not surprising, is that there is a divorce pending between this bad teacher and her husband. So apparently he was as shocked as everyone else that this was going on. As I said, this is a recent case, so I'm going to update you on this one when it finally goes to the courts. So we're going to move to another bad teacher, and I'm going to bring you to Milford, Connecticut, and I'm going to tell you about Jennifer Dunn, who was forty one years old, and this is in July of two thousand and nine, when she was charged with allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a seventeen year old male student while she was a teacher's aide at Platte Technical School in Connecticut. So here's how that went down. The school principle calls police and he states that he had been recently made aware by the assistant principle that a rumor was swirling around the school involving Done and a student who was a senior at that school during this time. He told the investigator that he questioned some other staff members as well as some other students, Regarding what this rumor was all about, etc.
13:50 And that he learned of Dune's indiscretions. If you will, He said that he called this seventeen year old male student into the office and that student any involvement was Done. He then asked the student if he had ever communicated with Done via telephone or text, and again the student denied this, which what the student did not know was that the principal had already interviewed Done and that she admitted to having both called and texted the student, so the principal knew the student was lying. Now. These initial interviews took place on March twenty fifth of two thousand and nine. The principal told detectives he wanted to let the kid go home and kind of think about it, see if he could get some honesty out of him.
14:40 The next day, so on March twenty six of two thousand and nine, he calls this student back into the office and he says, hey, I know you're lying. Done has already come in here, and she's already told me that she's talked to you on the phone and that y'all have exchanged texts. And it was at this point the student admits to the communication, and the principal told the detective that He then kind of pressed the student a little bit further as to the nature of these calls and text and the student said that Done in himself had arranged to get a room at a day's end in New Haven, Connecticut, where the student met Done and they had sex. So after hearing that, the principal he dismisses the student back to class, and he calls miss Done back into the office and he tells her this situation has become very serious and an investigation would have to start and the police would have to be called because what she was telling him was, yeah, I've talked to him on the fund a few times and we texted a few times, but it was all school related, right, he said. At this point, Done, she starts freaking out, and she expresses some concern for her kids, and then she says what had happened was the biggest mistake of her life. Principal says, hold up, don't tell me anything else.
16:10 You're officially placed on administrative leave. Penning an investigation other detectives, they conduct a series of interviews. The student tells detectives that, among other things, he knew Miss Dunn to be a library assistant who worked in the lunch room as well at that high school. He said Miss Dunn was very friendly and most of her students called her by a nickname, which was Mama Done. And he said he would talk to Miss Dunn in the lunchroom and around school, and that one day Miss Dunn asked him for his cell number, and in return, she gave him her cell number. He said this was around Christmas in December of two thousand and eight. He said he was kind of surprised because this was the first time he had ever given his number to a teacher. So they changed numbers and one day she texted him and it was a random text, and in that random text, she said, quote, are you interested in me? He said, Then Dunn starts texting him a lot, which he defined a lot as three plus times a day. He said she would text at all hours of the day and the night. Now, the student claimed he never responded to that quote are you interested in me? Text in that. The next random text he got said, quote would you ever do stuff with me? Unquote?
17:43 He said he didn't reply to that either, and he assumed miss Donne just wanted to hang out when she was talking about do stuff with me? Of course, hindsight's twenty twenty, and we both know now she meant have sex with me, so he said. The next day he gets a text in that text red quote do you want to get a room? Unquote? And keep in mind, peeps, this is a forty one year old woman here. Now. He did respond back to this text. At this time he knew exactly what she meant when she said do you want to get a room? And he responds with one word, which was yes, he said. The next text he got from done red quote, where do you want to go? And he replied the days in in New Haven.
18:32 He then told detectives that in January of two thousand and nine, He met Miss Done twice at that day's in and he said on both occasions, Dumb would text him the key code to her car, so he would pull up, she'd text him that key code, He would go inside of the car and there would be a room key waiting for him sitting on the console. He could not remember the code to tell detectives for her car, but he stated it was five digits in length, and he knew the first two digits were zero and six. He said that once he would get the key, he would text Miss Done let her know that he had it, and then she would text him the actual room number, and he said once he entered the room, Miss Dumb would be laying on the bed in blue jeans and a T shirt. He said they would make small talk for ten to twenty minutes, and that on the first occasion, Dumb removed her clothes and he removed his clothes. They got completely nude, and she performed oral sex on him to completion. He said. The second time they met was approximately two weeks after the first time. He said at this second meeting, they had both oral sex and they had intercourse, and he described her vehicle to a t which police determined later was registered to her husband. Now,
20:03 he also told detectives about two weeks after that second meeting, he was hanging out with friends. They were former students at the school. And as we've learned with all these bad teachers, and what these bad teachers will never learn is that students are going to tell their friends when they have sex with you. Well, he's sitting around telling his friends about this, and they had some news for him. Both of these friends claimed they also had sex with miss Dunn during their senior years, which they graduated the year prior to this particular student. So detectives go and they get sworn statements from both of these friends as well. However, according to those sworn statements, they had already graduated when these sex sessions occurred. So, armed with all of this evidence, police arrest Jennifer Dunn and she's charged with second degree sexual assault and she surrenders to authorities. She binds out on a ten thousand dollars bond, which second degree sex assault, y'all, in Connecticut is a felony. However, you know how these cases go by. Now, I've covered enough of these, and this one no different did to the fact that Connecticut's age of consent is sixteen, this guy was seventeen, and
21:34 that the meetings were consensual and there was no coercion that police could prove done. Ends up copying a plea to fourth degree sex assault, which is a misdemeanor, and she pleads no contest. So in the end she was sentenced to two years in jail, but the entire sentence was suspended. So at the end of the day, after all this screwing this guy twice, she gets probation. Now. Interesting thing to note in this case is that it came out later that even those two former students that I mentioned, she was pretty bold when she would have her sexual escapades with them. She was having sex with them in public settings such as a ballpark, parking lot, in parking lots, in empty office buildings. So there you have it, Jennifer Dunn, I put your ass on blast.
22:40 Just unbelievable. These bad teachers. And it's been a little while since I've been able to bring you a couple of those. Some of these there's just not a lot of information out there on and it's sad. I think there should be all the information in the world when it's someone that commits shit like this Jennifer Dunn. I couldn't even find a picture of that's how much she escaped the fire, Louisa. That's the picture you see in the thumbnail of this podcast, this particular podcast, and once again an attractive teacher just doing utter stupidity. And in her case, it wasn't a seventeen year old, it was a thirteen year old. What a sick human being she is. Quickly, I want to say thank you so much for listening.
