New details revealed in PHM teacher child seduction case
Brooke Biggs (Photo provided) MISHAWAKA — Prosecutors filed two felony child seduction charges against a Grissom Middle School teacher Friday. Police arrested Brooke Biggs at an Osceola home Thursday. Biggs teaches seventh and eighth grade PE at Grissom. She also coaches at Penn High School. PHM says the alleged victim is a 16-year-old female high school student. The Family Violence/Special Victims Unit started its investigation in July after the teen's parents contacted police. They had forbidden their daughter from talking to Biggs and took away her cell phone. But they caught her sneaking out to see Biggs. Court documents allege Biggs bought the girl a new cell phone, and the two exchanged thousands of explicit text messages. Police say Biggs admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with the girl. The school put Biggs on administrative leave September 4.

Clearly, the 16 year old girl was brainwashed into thinking and acting the ways she did. It was most likely not how she normally acts, and this incident has probably affected her friends and family in many ways, and it could have been prevented if it wasn't for biggs.

I have not seen or heard that anywhere but what I do know is that statute clearly states a "at least 16 years of age" so it is very doubtful that she was 15 or the charges would be different so stop spreading rumors.

He took it a little further by taking a trip to Florida with the girl, trying to hide. The thing is, they're still together now. So they obviously love eachother. My advice...wait until they're 18.

There is too much pressure on young girls to look and be as sexual as possible. Progressive parenting is not always a good idea.

Brooke is NOT a CHILD PREDATOR, she made a poor choice. I dated her and this breaks my heart. Brooke was a beautiful woman who never ceased to amaze me with her compassion for others.

Sixteen is the age of consent in Indiana, so in reality, had their not been a teacher/student, coach/player relationship, there would be no crime. So when throwing around the term "children," remember that a sixteen-year-old can sleep with anybody he/she chooses age sixteen or older, unless that person is in a position of authority over the sixteen year old. It's only the status of the older individual that determines whether consensual activity is a crime.

It is the few bad teachers that make it hard for teachers to want to make those connections with kids that some of them so depserately need. I know this issue is just heating up and I feel for all of those involved, but the other innocent victim is going to be the educational process.

At 16 this girl knew what she was doing.........still morally wrong Friday, Oct 3 at 6:50 PM Mike wrote ...Everyone is calling this girl a child. If she murdered someone they would have charged her as an adult. So what is she a child or an adult. SHE CAN'T BE BOTH.

You have published her pictures many times for the good things she has done in the community. This picture influences people to judge her harshly. If yo must run a picture for goodness sake find a different one! Friday, Oct 3 at 6:37 PM Kevin wrote ...naughty woman shame on y0u and commit and awful sin. God will punish you to hell.

Where are you writing now that no way could have Ms. Biggs done this because she's just the best? I want to hear it in ungrammatical English, please. Friday, Oct 3 at 6:10 PM CC wrote ...You can still like her and miss her. No one is only a child molester. I hope this serves as a lesson to all who immediately blamed the victim because Biggs is such a wonderful educator.

If that was the case then half the women in the US would be thrown in prison because they're husband's weren't sensitive enough. Think before you comment people, really.

It is so embarrased for a teacher to do this to their students. Who can they trust now? May be her personality does not fit her interest and she should have known that children are to protect and intruct in good conduct and manners. Is she divorced? Were is her husband and what does he do? May be he is to blame. He did not provide her with affection and attention that she really needed. Some husbands are so busy with their work overload that they forget a wife. Add a comment |
