Cynthia Carroll never dated in high school and had only one date in college, because she lacked self esteem.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Radford;]

That was one of several reasons given by defense attorneys to explain why Carroll began having sex with a 14- year old boy, in 1991.
It's a relationship described by prosecutors as not only illegal, but repulsive.
Carroll was the boy's teacher at a private school in the basement of the Seventh Day Adventist Church in Radford.
Today her attorneys argued for a lighter sentence saying Carroll was a depressed and lonely woman -- who liked the fact someone of the opposite sex was pursuing HER.
Jeremy (Cull-tiss) Cultice, who's now 21, says Carroll was clearly the instigator.
