Judge: Teacher Not Guilty Of 9-HOUR THREESOME SEX TRAUMA With Male Student

Prosecutors say Dufresne’s affair with the teen included a fictitious Facebook profile using the name “Madison Mexicano.” Dufresne created the profile. It included the words “I love Mexican boys.” Her cover photo was Speedy Gonzales, the Looney Tunes character with a Mexican accent who is “the fastest Mouse in all Mexico.”

A police investigator said the pair had their first sexual encounter — twice, presumably in the Honda Pilot — behind a daiquiri shop close to a strip mall.

There was lots of sexting during the relationship.

“Those messages leave very little to the imagination as to what happened,” the lead prosecutor said in court, according to The Advocate, a Baton Rouge-based newspaper

There was sex in parking lots and vacant lots, the teen testified — especially after football games and football practice.

The night of the threesome was Sept. 19, 2014. Prosecutors said Dufresne, the male teen and a bunch of football players happened to be at the same sports bar. One person with the male teen said he didn’t believe there had been a bunch of sex between the teen and Dufresne.

There was an argument. There was an altercation outside the sports bar.

Later that night, prosecutors said, Dufresne transported the male teen to an apartment where Respess lived.

Dufresne and the teen had sex “repeatedly,” prosecutors said. Eventually, prosecutors also said, “Ms. Respess joins in and they have a threesome.”

Four days later, prosecutors said, Dufresne complained to the male teen — using her Madison Mexicano Facebook account. “I trusted you … and you showed everyone everything,” she wrote.

Lawyers for Dufresne defended their client by arguing that Jefferson Parish authorities investigated the alleged crimes in a lousy and thoroughly incomplete manner. They also pointed to jurisdictional issues. Defense attorneys also concentrated on the male teen’s lewd video.

“There have absolutely been no consequences for his behavior,” Kim McElwee, one of Dufresne’s attorneys, said.

In a previous criminal case related to the same set of facts, Dufresne pleaded guilty to obscenity. She avoided jail time and sex-offender status. However, the court ordered her to spend 90 days within the confines of an unspecified mental health facility, serve three years of probation, pay a $1,000 fine and surrender her teaching license.

In this most recent trial, Dufresne was cleared of two counts of carnal knowledge.

The judge, Taylor, heard the case because Dufresne waived her right to receive a jury trial.

McElwee, the defense attorney, took Dufresne’s case on a pro-bono basis in part because she believed the case was being improperly tried in Jefferson Parish.

“Yes, she’s not innocent,” McElwee told The Times-Picayune. “She did these things. She had an improper relationship. She broke the law, and she should be punished. But there’s a difference between innocent and not guilty. They have to prove their case and they didn’t come close.”

McElwee also observed that the teen was not a child.

“The sex offender laws at one time meant you knew somebody really harmed a child, not somebody almost 17 years old that took part willingly,” she told the New Orleans newspaper.

Both Dufresne and Respess are alumnae of Destrehan High and both graduated from Louisiana State University.

Dufresne’s no-longer-accessible Destrehan High webpage shows she was a 10-year veteran at the school.

Her father is 29th Judicial District Judge Emile St. Pierre.

Respess was an English teacher at Destrehan High for two years.
