   Update on HS Coach Sex Scandal #55: Worst Case of Double Standard We've Ever Seen - Former Coach Gets 15 Years for Sex With 17-Year-Old Girl - Here's our original report on Craig DeBiase, 43, a former coach at Bishop Machebeuf High School in Denver who assured his victim that they were "practically married." (Then why did they have sex almost 20 times?) He plead guilty to only one count of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust and in exchange six other counts of sexual assault on a child were dismissed. So it's likely that DeBiase was surprised this week when Denver District Court Judge Herbert Stern sentenced him to 15 years in prison and told the standing-room-only crowd that he felt he "needed to send a message about the public trust that teachers and coaches have in caring for young people." (Denver Channel) Anyone still think there's NOT a double standard when it comes to male and female sexual predators? Granted, DeBiase's no saint here, but Sandra Beth Geisel --a teacher who had sex with three underage boys, but claimed to have a drinking problem--was sentenced to only 6 months in jail, while our favorite hot blonde gym teacher, Pamela Rogers Turner, got a grand total of 270 days for sex with a 13-year-old boy.

   Craig DeBaise, 43, was the girls' basketball coach at Bishop Machebeuf High School in Denver.
   
   Craig DeBaise In 1999, he had sex with a 16 year-old girl on the team, and for three months in 2000 had a number of encounters with a 17 year-old. About the 17 year-old, he said they had built a bond and that he was "falling in love with her." We can only hope the girl doesn't harbor any tender feelings for this sleazy looking creep. He pleaded guilty to only one count of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust, a very apt legal category for Bad Love. He will be sentenced in December, and could get as little as two years.
