“Her defense lawyer, Alissa Hascup, said the Muslim woman was driven in part to commit the offences due to her strict religious upbringing.” Passaic County Superior Court Judge Miguel de la Carrera said: “She had classmates and friends, but somehow, perhaps because of limitations on her dating life, she didn’t find the proper outlet among males of her own age. She did not learn how to interact with guys her age.”
One wonders how much of this kind of thing goes on in all sorts of contexts for the same reason: Muslims driven mad by Islamic law’s hyper-strict restrictions on the interaction of the sexes end up crossing the line into illegal and immoral behavior.
“Teacher who repeatedly sexted students then performed sex acts on them blames her strict religious Muslim upbringing for making her too repressed,” by Simon Holmes, Mailonline, January 24, 2017:
A high-school teacher who was jailed for performing sex acts on her underage pupils has blamed her strict religious upbringing for her crimes.
Linda Hardan, from Prospect Park in New Jersey, was jailed to three years in prison yesterday after sending scores of sexually explicit text messages to pupils, aged 14 to 16 years-old in 2014, and then engaging in sex acts with them.
Her defense lawyer, Alissa Hascup, said the Muslim woman was driven in part to commit the offences due to her strict religious upbringing, and suggested that she be treated by a therapist as oppose to serving time in prison.
Hardan, 22, had pleaded guilty in a deal with the Prosecutor’s Office that had called for a five-year prison sentence.
However Passaic County Superior Court Judge Miguel de la Carrera found enough mitigating factors to depart from the plea deal and impose a three-year sentence on the substitute teacher acknowledging the impact of her formative years on her mental development.
‘She had classmates and friends, but somehow, perhaps because of limitations on her dating life, she didn’t find the proper outlet among males of her own age,’ he said.
‘She did not learn how to interact with guys her age,’ the judge continued.
In one case Hardan, who taught at Manchester Regional High School, sent 40 selfies of herself ‘in varying states of undress’ to a 14-year-old then drove him to a waterfall and performed a sex act on him.
The prosecutor said the boy was ‘so upset, so disgusted that he got out of the car and walked home’ two miles away.
Another student, 16, was so traumatized by Hardan’s actions that he dropped out of school and never returned, said prosecutor Gyselle Da Silva.
Hardan, who also admitted sexting another 16-year-old, wept quietly yesterday as relatives said she was ‘the foundation, the rock’ of her family and pleaded for her to be spared jail….

That picture,
That “she” needs a shave !
zimriel says
not all teenaged boys are alpha males who are proud of all their conquests. and if one of them thinks the teacher is in love with him and then finds out she’s been doing other boys, that is a shock to the psyche.
and these are just the two that made it to court.
Peggy says
Even if these boys dreamed about doing this with an older woman or a teacher, this might not be that older woman.
Anyway you look at it, it’s sexual assault.
concerned canadian says
if this was a male?
life in prison ?
cs says
Yep, they want gender equality….
somehistory says
She made it through college, she passed tests to be a teacher. She needed the full five years. She knew what she was doing was wrong and she should pay the full price the prosecutor offered and to which she and her attorney agreed. The judge is a tool.
And if she is the *foundation* for her family, her family is built on sand. Sand from the land of the raper of children, murderer of innocents, liar and evil, nasty, vile, child of the devil.
MTMLA says
She probably said , “I didn’t have sex with that boy” …Makes me think of Clinton, the darling of the Democrats and Hollyweird.
jim hane says
She’s just following the examples of her role model – Prophet Muhammad.
Peggy says
Exactly. Wasn’t she exposed to males her own age when she was in college?
Angemon says
How is that supposed to be an excuse? Was she, during her upbringing, taught it was OK to sext younger guys?
Bill says
There is something clearly Islamophobic about this defense! If anyone else in that school district had said that women are repressed under Islam, they would have been fired by the end of the day.
gravenimage says
Good point. But Muslims will use *anything* to excuse their crimes.
Peggy says
I think anyone would use just about anything to excuse their crimes, but Muslims are given lesser sentences as a result.
Clear discrimination against non Muslims.
gravenimage says
Very true.
Joyce R Niblock says
All the men her age had several wives. The boys she took advantage of were minors and probabky
[rp probably disgusted by the grenditaial mutilation of her private parts.
Cara Dewitt says
this does not surprise me at all . those muslims act like wearing the burka and loose robes proves moral conduct . I will repeat again morality cannot be guaranteed by the clothes you wear or female genital mutilation . high moral standards exists within the individual . it is respect for yourself , your mind and your body . muslims pretend they are so much better , but that is not true . they have prostitution , little boys and girls for sex objects , even animals . there is nothing to admire there . they seek to destroy all other religions . no good here .

you are so right
David F Mayer says
Beautifully written.
Margie says
Totally agree.
Vekafitzfrancis says
She knew better. The article doesn’t say if she was married, but if her family is so strict, isn’t she in danger of being murdered by her male relatives? Take the jail sentence, it would be safer.
Gene says
This is why Muslims keep their women locked in the kitchen, beat them, and keep them under constant male supervision when they leave the house.
Billy says
Thank God this site doesn’t have “Smell-O-Vision” I’m about to barf just thinking about it. “Downtown” probably smells like a rotting whale carcass baking in the Arabian Sun! Yeesh! Make it go away!
Achmed says
You suppose she has an “innie”? When reporters choose “performed a sex act”, normally, it does not involve coitus.
So, I’m thinkin’ she has herself an “innie”.
Babs says
Oh, I see. It was a series of “sexual emergencies” was it? Ye gods! The US is infected with the English attitude towards islam, and tiptoes round it.
Guest says
If a man used that excuse, it (rightly) wouldn’t fly with the judge. Outrageous!
Edward O'Donnell says
Not anymore with Trump running the show! 😉
davej says
Well she blamed her religion and I’m going to agree.
Guest says
Ok, blame the religion for twisting her mind up, but totally blame her for her decision to commit the crimes.
The same I blame any muslim man for committing crimes.
john spielman says
oh oh, I THINK SHARIA LAW calls for her execution after her jail time of course. Send her back to crapistan for that
Jackson1961 says
Perhaps a public stoning is in order, in keeping with her strict Muslim upbringing and all.
joy says
WORKS FOR ME
1reader says
I had the same problem, sorta. I attended Catholic school and the only guys I ever met and dated were 30-40. Never got to hang out with guys my own age.
Achmed says
Wow .. thirty to forty years of age … how many years did the repeat third grade? A decade? Fifth grade the following decade?
Diimaa says
So 14 yr old who was getting naked pictures from same teacher got into a car with her and drove to a lake. He got upset when she got naked?
Meet gay boys of America. Ok she is homely but at that age, if you’re worth your boyhood, you’d have sex with anything on two legs…
These boys are the future of LGBTQ
billybob says
Agreed 🙂
t. says
I agree!
Peggy says
It doesn’t matter if they went willingly with her. They are not mature at that age and that’s why we don’t hold them responsible but she is meant to be the mature one and not behave like that.
Do you not guide your children when they are that age or do you just say they are mature enough now and they can do what they want?
gravenimage says
Very true, Peggy. It was up to the adult to act responsibly. But when are pious Muslims ever adults?
Peggy says
They are evil little Chuckies.
Brucehill says
I agree
balafama says
was she wearing her hijab during these encounters?
Guest says
Yes, for modesty….
gravenimage says
OK, now *that* is funny.
linnte says
Best joke I’ve heard in days! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!
PRCS says
Well, as I don’ believe anyone else has pointed this out:
This is her parents’ fault.
If she’d had her genitalia properly mutilated as a young girl, this would not have happened.
Shame on them!
Achmed says
It is my belief that she DID have an “innie”. “Performed sex acts”, typically when that line is used, no coitus was involved.
billybob says
Loved all the comments above!
My contribution is more mundane. We often consider why Muslim males are committing all those sex attacks in Europe, and the consensus seems to be that they consider women in Western dress prostitutes. This arises from their religious upbringing, where they are taught that women who wear a bag are off limits, but women who don’t are fair game, in combination with having no legitimate outlet for their sexuality beyond goats and infidels.
Through all this discussion, we never considered the effect of segregation of the sexes on women. It is easy to imagine these are disinterested in sex, because they have had their genitals mutilated, and they are raised very strictly to preserve their chastity, the only thing of value they have in their culture.
However, the sex drive goes beyond the genitals. It wells up from the depth of being. This poor woman in the article not only could not find relief for her sexual desires among her male peers because of being isolated from them, she was also prevented by the fact of her upbringing that taught that her chastity was the only thing of value she had. Therefore, the only relief from her sexual anguish she could possibly permit herself was as described in the article – performing oral sex. It is particularly unfair to her that unlike her male peers, animals could offer her no relief.
What an absolutely dreadful religion Islam is! I agree with the judge’s leniency for the reason’s he stated. Furthermore, I feel sorry for the girl, and am much encouraged that she appears to understand that she was poisoned by her religion. I am certain she will emerge from jail an apostate, if she isn’t already. She may go on to do some real good in this world by further denouncing the tyranny of Islam.
billybob says
Mark – what’s happening? My comments aren’t showing up. Have you put me on your black list for some reason?
billybob says
He has resolved the problem now – thanks Marc!

This story makes me throw up in my mouth. Can they give her life in prison for this? Please??
JawsV says
Sad the male Hispanic Judge bought in to the PC BS.
Anonymous says
Regardless of her religion, she lived in America and is expected to know our laws!! Negligence is never a way out in criminal acts!! Under the law, they are children, and under the law, she should be punished for what she did! It wasn’t under duress, and screw the comments about being repressed by her religion. Fuck that. She’s an adult and needs to be given consequences for her inappropriate, illegal, immoral, and disgusting acts she performed on these children!
Period! Mic drop!!!!!!
Kay says
Yep, we have laws. And teachers have to know the laws about child abuse and inappropriate relationships with minors.
General says
I was messing with girls from 14 on back in the day. I’m in my 40’s now. I agree that this does highlight how femininized buys have become nowadays. As homely as she may look a willing female is a willing female as long as shes not obese. Lets just be honest especially when hormones are racing most boys would tap that.
That all said, if it was a man it would have been life. She should get no less than what any man would get.

Girls don’t get erections. Boys do. Big difference. Viva la difference

Islam is trash and its members are more so.

………………………………………
Well, this is true, but not in the way that she means. Muslims may abuse Infidels, including children. Here only mistake was in not realizing this “privilege” does not extend to Muslimahs…
Really, that a teacher would abuse her own students is appalling–that she would them claim Muslim victimhood is just disgusting.
Daniel Triplett says
Sext messages. Then driving to an isolated area alone with the woman.
These boys new exactly what the plan was. I don’t believe for a minute they were “traumatized” anymore than they were asking for.
Inexperience (on her part) or severe hygiene issues is my guess.
Peggy says
Even if they knew what the plan was do you think they were old enough to give consent?
She is old enough to know better and she should never have done anything like that even if they begged her.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed Peggy, it’s a crime.
But you have to admit, this isn’t nearly as bad as if an older male teacher was doing this to young female students.
On another note, just about every 18 year old male I knew in high school had girlfriend sex with 15 and 16 year olds. Do you consider that less offensive, or should they all go to prison and have the rest of their lives ruined as a registered sex offender and felon?
gravenimage says
The age difference *does* matter here, Daniel. Of course, no one is talking about prosecuting teens having sex with each other.
Lynne says
Muslims always have an excuse. It’s always somebody else’s fault. She needs to be prosecuted like every other teacher who has done this.
Saiful Rimkeit says
Let the parents buy her a plane ticket to the Wahhabist Kingdom. They’ll know what to do with her at the Public Square.

Three years for multiple rape of minors! Is she getting off lightly cos she is a muslim or is a woman?
Yossarian says
Wait, wait… so, due to her religion’s laws being too restrictive, she should be pardoned for breaking law of society she chosed to live in? Pardoned for something that others would be punished with no delay, in more ways than one?
L O L
THAT is just one of things that lead to having Trump for president.
girlgirl says
the idiots’ mocking of that 16 years old boy is disgusting….
Carolyne says
I agree with you, girl, girl. I am sickened by some of the comments here not only absolving this ignorant woman but wishing it had happened to them. What she did was illegal. She molested adolescent boys.
When Catholic priests molested young boys, these are the same people who likely condemned them for it. There is no difference. A person in authority abusing children. She needed the full five years.
Lynne says
I agree. She is the adult. They are still children. She needs to be prosecuted and sentenced fully under the law.
Lesley says
Not only is she an adult, she is a teacher which makes this an egregious abuse of power and a predatory act.
This is child abuse and sexual assault, even if the minors appeared to be willing. Whether or not the boys should have been “into it” is a moot point. They are children, and we live in a society where children are protected from sexual predation.
linnte says
I agree Girlgirl and Carolyne. Anyone who has been seduced into sex by another person who has the power, understands that boys can be emotionally and spiritually damaged also. Our bodies are our Temple. Even wanted sex can cause a feeling of shame and “dirtyness” in a person.
gravenimage says
Agreed, girlgirl, Carolyne, Lynne, and Linnte.
Lioness says
Jail is the least of her problem. When she is out, her father, brother or uncle are going to murder her. Talk about shaming the family!
Anushirvan says
I suppose someday some obscure fatwa will turn up somewhere, stipulating that a female Muslim is allowed to suck infidel dick ad infinitum, as long as she doesn’t get infidel sperm in her mouth or throat in the process, which may turn her into an infidel herself.
Just wait for it, she’s probably doing everything by the book !
Carolyne says
I guess this woman didn’t undergo FGM. Is it too late?
Peggy says
Isn’t every female in a Muslim country oppressed? Does hat excuse work there?
Peggy says
Does THAT excuse work there? I don’t think she used a hat.
brightmidnight777 says
dudes and dudettes, the point here is that the judge let her slide from a 5 yr plea deal, which is lenient, to an even more lenient sentence of 3 yrs. thats crazy. shame on that judge. religion as a defense for rape. surreal. terrible judgement.
gravenimage says
All true.
