Teacher Carmina Lopez Swapped Booze, Weed for Sex with 11-Year-Old Godson
Friends and co-workers remember Carmina Lopez as a standout elementary schoolteacher, except for those allegations about molesting that 11-year-old boy and stocking him with booze and drugs. So begins today's episode of Weird Teacher Watch...![]()
The role of godmother carries mostly ceremonial significance these days: Simply remember all the birthdays and dispense a few religious trinkets, and your resume is ready for St. Peter.![]()
Carmina Lopez is accused of showering her godson with sex, booze, and drugs.
But Carmina Lopez, it seems, followed her own blueprint for the job. Cops say the 33-year-old schoolteacher from San Diego gave her godson a lesson in 21st-century Catholicism by molesting him dozens of times, beginning when he was an 11-year-old student in her elementary school classroom.
The boy, now 16, told a judge that Lopez demanded sex with him in exchange for the usual preteen enticements: booze, pot money, and a dirt bike. The abuses took place in the classroom after school, in Lopez's car, and at her home.
"If I wanted a ride home or if I wanted something, then I'd have to have sex with her to get it," the boy told the judge in a pretrial hearing.
As the sex continued, Lopez took a job at a different school in order to, y'know, keep things cool.
The episodes lasted four years, during which the boy grew accustomed to taking advantage of Lopez's thirst for sex. When he threatened to turn her ass in, she deftly played the suicide card. Ultimately, he was irreconcilably weirded-out when Lopez began talking of marriage and having kids.
It all ended in summer 2008 with one final episode of sex in exchange for beer. The boy shared his story with school counselors later that year.
Now Lopez faces more than 80 counts of sexual abuse, sexual assault, unlawful intercourse, sexual battery, and a host of other charges widely considered outside the call of duty for your average godmother.
