Ms. Vicky Jones, assistant principal of Desert Ridge High School uses extortion and blackmail to cover her l*****n love affairs with students. She covers up drug possession in exchange for student silence. Mesa Arizona
I moved away in the summer because my grandmother has cancer but it was good for me because I have had time to clear my head. A lot of bad things happened at school last year and I know Ms. Jones was behind most of it. I was temporarily involved in a l*****n relatinoship and many kids got mixed up in drugs. Desert Ridge is the worst school in the valley for drugs and everyone knows it and Ms. Jones blames that all on Mr. Coombs lack of balls.
Has anyone bothered to wonder why all the problems at this high school involve girls and that boys are not really a problem? Isn't it usually the boys in high school who get into trouble? Why are there so many more drugs and girls acting out at this school? I am surprised this staff still has their job.
One of the reasons I chose to speak out here is because I know people who got in trouble for looking at this site at school. They claim to be all about education, then they want to close your mind - unless its to new sex exploration.
I was a student at Desert Ridge High School last year and a target of the sexual interest of Ms. Vicky Jones. Ms. Jones was the assistant principal and also secretly a l*****n. She is really after power and bad mouths everybody behind their backs, including Mr. Coombs. People think they are good friends with her but she is different when they leave. She even talks about the cop assigned to the school because she "knows where his skeletons are."
She uses female students as play things and is always scheming. Ms. Jones made me call her that, even after we were intimate. She told me she didn't want any slip ups because it could mean her job. All discussions were all about taking care of her in exchange for keeping me out of trouble.
She also didn't seem to mind how much I knew about what she was doing, because she would always say no one would believe a student over her. She openly talked about the religious idiots on the school board and that they were not progressive enough. I heard Ms. Jones talk on the phone to someone about a plan to get people kicked off the board. They have recorded phone calls and are gathering information to use as blackmail. She and her friends are going to cause problems for people at the district and those on the school board.
Ms. Jones hates Mormons. Especially Mormon women. She called them super breeders. She hates going to the district because there are so many Mormons there they give her the creeps.
Another thing that bothers me is that I consider myself a person of integrity. When I was in her home I saw school equipment and when she saw me notice seemed she did not care and said they would never miss it or it was not accounted for. I was afraid to tell someone, because I knew she would know I told them because I thought I was the only one who had been to her house. Now I know that wasn't true.
There are several things that bother me beyond how I screwed up my own life. I accept responsibility for getting sucked into her lies but I KNOW she was aware of the soma ring and even protected the girl because I caught them. Ms. Jones told me I could never mention it because I would be thrown in jail because she was a minor and protected from public knowledge. I am still scared to even mention the incident everyone knows about because of her threats.
What hurts is that Ms. Jones made me fall in love with her. She convinced me to leave my boyfriend. I admitted to her that we had been sexual when she called me in to "talk about my behavior." She had me start writing her letters to "journal" my thoughts and feelings. Later I found out I was never referred to her, she just called me to her office to get me into bed.
When I would talk with her she would bad mouth "hets" and convinced me that she was better than any man because a man never gave me an orgasm, but she could. She also used to say that Mr. Coombs was such a p***y that she was more of a man than he was. She bragged that she could jerk him around by his short hairs and that she really ran the school. When I found out that she was not serious about me and that there were others I was hurt and felt betrayed.
I had lost my boyfriend and I am now horrified that I have to deal with the memory of having her force a really big black strap on into me. That was bad enough, but fortunately I was able to back out of the relationship. When I found out she had others she suggested getting together with some of her l*****n friends and that was just too weird for me. She threatened to tell my mom that I was having sex with boys, but I figured I would rather deal with that than with this messed up arrangement.
I am telling my story and risking my own embarrassment to save other girls from getting as messed up as me.

Who to contact ..Arizona Revised Statute 13-3620 is the law that imposes a requirement to report child abuse on school personnel.
#14Consumer Suggestion
Mon, December 13, 2004
The statute says that you must report it to a "peace officer." If you feel that your local police department will not protect your identity then I would contact the county sheriff's office.
The statute states that you must make your initial report by telephone or in person and that you must follow it with a written report within 72 hours. The written report must contain:
"1. The names and addresses of the minor and the minor's parents or the person or persons having custody of the minor, if known.
"2. The minor's age and the nature and extent of the minor's abuse, child abuse, physical injury or neglect, including any evidence of previous abuse, child abuse, physical injury or neglect.
"3. Any other information that the person believes might be helpful in establishing the cause of the abuse, child abuse, physical injury or neglect."
The statute states that you may "cause reports to be made." That would imply you could give your information to a friend and have that friend contact the police. That would satisfy the requirement to "cause reports to be made" and keep your name out of the reports.
The statute does not require you to report consensual sexual behavior if the kids are 14 or older. (The original poster indicated that her sexual contact with the principal was not consensual.)
I contacted the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office by e-mail several months ago and received no response from them. I do not know what action, if any, they may have taken.

More to the story: Ms. Debbie Sant has been Vicki Jones' jealous live-in lover... Daniel Coombs is oblivious
#14UPDATE Employee
Sat, December 11, 2004
Ms. Debbie Sant is a counselor at Desert Ridge High School and she is probably the anonymous informer above, because she is so jealous of Vicki Jones' promiscuity and infidelity. Ms. Jones has already been caught several times cheating on her and has seen first hand, the ill-effects of Vicki's power trip.
Since Debbie is unable to effect Vicki with any revenge sex, all she can do is try to pay her back by exposing her peccadillos. Debbie has always been jealous that Vicki has gotten more teenage action than she has. The real problem is the Desert Ridge l*****n Mafia, who run the high school. If the District wants to get rid of the behavior problems, the drug problems, and the danger to other students, get rid of the Mafia, and their impotent titular principal, (because he does not represent the rest of the faculty).
Well, Gilbert... this is what you get when you hire anyone who has an agenda, much less lesbians with agendas. They cannot NOT manipulate.

I sent a copy of this e-mail to E.J. Montini @ the Arizona Republic and several different sex crimes prosecutors that I am aquainted with.
For the teacher in this situtation please remember why you teach, hopefully it is because you love teaching and the students. Also, in Az you are mandated by law to report ANY suspected abuse to a student and failure to do so can cost you your certification(s). Not to long ago a teacher in Az was prosecuted for failing to report and was found to be negligent. Also, a several techers and admin staff lost their jobs for failing to report abuse by a teacher.
I don't mean to sound abusive or mean but is this lady worth losing your career over? Lose of certs will follow you everywhere, turn the lady in!

To everyone concerned,
I feel for the teachers and staff that have to deal with situations such as these, and I'm glad it was reported to the authorities. However, I feel the reporting may have been in vain. If you search this site for Mesa PD, you will see why. They are corrupt from top to bottom, and may even be involved somewhat in the soma drug ring.
As for the actions of Ms. Jones, I find them irreprehensible. I only hope that when my daughter is old enough to attend school, she does not have to deal with cretins such as Vickie.
I sincerely hope that this situation is dealt with as it seems that alot of kids may be involved. This is just as bad as the Catholic priests who abuse young boys.

To the anonymous subordinate who commented that (he/she) felt bad when thinking back at all the times "Dee" approached you for help.
This isn't going to make you feel much better, but your comment is very important. It's a lesson to other adults on responding when children approach you:
I was being abused in Grade 4 & 5 by my mother's live-in boyfriend at home in 1976/1977. My mother witnessed, and permitted the abuse to go on and on. I approached teachers twice. Once in 4th Grade, and once in 5th Grade. The thing is, you have no idea how excrutiating it was to get the courage up to do so. This was followed by immediate relief the moment it was said. That was then immediately followed by intense embarrassment and devastation when I realized the teacher wasn't going to help.
The 4th Grade teacher told me not to mention it to anyone again and sent me from the classroom. The 5th Grade teacher told me I needed to tell my mother about it. When I explained that my mother was part of it, she didn't believe me.
From 6th Grade on, my respect for teachers was terribly diminished. Those responses I received from those two teachers unraveled my academic ambitions, and stuck with me all the way through high school.
Luckily, during the summer of 1977, a relative (Aunt) saw me and my younger sibblings in a grocery store. My face was considerably bruised. She collected us up in her car, took us to our grandparents, and we never again step foot back into that house (or into our mother's custody, for that matter). Ultimately after trial, the boyfriend was sent to jail for a year.
I don't tell you this (abbreviated) story to make you feel worse. Hindsight is indeed 20/20. But folks, especially TEACHERS, please, please... if a child is opening up to you, REPORT, REPORT, REPORT. You can't even imagine how devastating it is when nothing happens. Let the *authorities* determine if there's substance to the claim. THAT'S NOT *YOUR* JOB to make that determination! But it is your job to respond, whether you think so or not.
The publicity is ramping up on this one, so if the claims are deemed credible, this parasite will be removed from the system shortly. That's good news.

Hi All,
Anon, you are in my thoughts. Dear God, it shouldn't have to be difficult to do the right thing. I am not naieve (even if I can't spell it) and I know that there are bad people or weak people in positions of authority. I do hope that you find someone of integrity to deal with this.
To Dee, I again hope that if you can help then you do. Holding people accountable for their actions when they are in a positing of trust is so important! They were the ones in the wrong and no matter what they say, they are the ones that will be dealt with. Not you!
My daughter is 16 and going to school in Arizona. Not at that school or that city. I want to make sure if there is a predator out there that she doesn't move to another district and ruin more lives.
You all are in my thoughts!

Who I reported to. The anonymous staff member is in a dilemma in reporting what she knows, but she may jeopardize her position if her colleages find out.
#14Consumer Comment

I reported this to the Mesa PD through their website and to the Maricopa County Sheriff through the county's official website. I also emailed it to the Gilbert Public Schools governing board through their website.
The anonymous staff member is in a dilemma in reporting what she knows. The law requires her to report suspected child abuse, but she may jeopardize her position if her colleages find out.
The one place that I did not think to go with this and it may be where the staff member is required to go is Child Protective Services. Since I am not a teacher or anyone else required by law to report I am not certain as to where one must report abuse.
My suggestion is that you go directly to CPS and the Sheriff's office but not to school district officials. School district officials are unlikely to want an outside agency to investigate them, so it is best that you do not let the district know that you are making a report. The Sheriff and CPS are far more likely to protect your identity than the Mesa PD in whom I have no faith whatsoever based on my personal experiences.
I do recall that a few years ago there was a male counsellor at Fairmont Middle School in Phoenix who was convicted of molesting boys and that the principal of the school was also convicted for trying to prevent staff from reporting it. My recollection is also that the principal had fired at least one school employee for reporting the molestations and that employee did NOT get her job back.
While working for the Arizona Department of Administration back in 1988 I made the mistake of reporting criminal activity (on-the-job drug use and sales) to my managers. The managers informed each and every person that I had accused them. I was then fired based on evidence provided by the very people I had named. Management just did not want an outside agency conducting a criminal investigation as it makes them look like they were not doing their job. I mention this only because there can be dire consequences to trusting management.
If there really is a problem at Desert Ridge it is important that someone with knowledge step forward. An anonymous report MAY be enough to start an investigation, but if no one is willing to testify under oath the investigation will go nowhere and nothing will change. I would hope that the person who wrote the original complaint will make a report of this at her local police department or sheriff's office even if she is no longer in Arizona.

Darren,
You are absolutely right about my obligation to report, but please try to understand the culture at this school. There is no suppoert for these types of accusation unless there is absolute evidence. If I were to report my "hunch" based on observations, there would be reprisals against me and the students observed victimized by Vicki in the questionable activity mentioned, nothing would be done and our lives would be destroyed.
You simply don't know what sort of mafia she has around her. It is really weird to see them all sitting in the front row seats (which they have reserved for themselves) at the dance recitals. So how do I report the fact I THINK Vicki and her buddies are getting off watching young nubile girls dancing on stage, without destoying programs of people I love and respect?
I do know the soma drug ring at Desert Ridge HS mentioned is a big problem because it developed at the same time that a student collapsed in the courtyard from a drug overdose. I mean, really... does this sound like a school well-managed in a very conservative town? The innocence and naivet of the young girls make them easy picking for the conniving sort like Ms. Jones.
I am grateful to Larry who reported, but I think I must also report. I would like to know who Larry reported to so I can make sure my report goes the same place. Please post the contacts fr reporting. I was going to report tomorrow.

Larry,
Good for you. I know that an accusation is simply that. I am about to get my license soon and if I were accused it would devestate me. But, if there is validity to this report then it really is important that it be followed up.
If you could update the information whenever you hear anything, it would be of great value.
To Dee. If what you have to say is true, then I would really encourage you to step forward and follow through with this. A true abuser doesn't stop.
It sounds like those that were responsible for your protection failed you.
If not for yourself, then for the others that she has abused, please consider coming out and speaking to those that can help you and the others.
Thanks,

As soon as I saw this report earlier today I emailed it to the Mesa Police Department.
I am also sending it to the Maricopa County Attorney's office and to the school board.
There is no way to know whether this report is for real or whether it is an attempt to harm someone's reputation. Either way, it is best dealt with by law enforcement.

Mandatory reporter
#14Consumer Comment
Sun, September 05, 2004
Dear Anon,
If you are a teacher as it sound like you are... then you are a mandatory reporter which means that you are placing a lot of things at stake.
The safety of the students (the primary reason for mandatory reporting) as well as your license.
If you suspect that there is abuse like this going on... then you need to deal with it. I don't know the particulars of your situation, but the union, the police, the state social services... someone needs to be altered.
I know that this can be devestating... and there isn't a "smoking" gun... but that is why the law is in place. To take away the moral ambiguity.
I hope that you do the right thing if you really suspect that the reporter was truthful.

I think I know who Dee is and feel badly school administrators have not done something.
I have been a coworker and subordinate of Vicki Jones for many years. I have known of her predelection for women. Unofficially, her l*****n behavior is no secret, but most have not known what we have only suspected. It has always been discussed how some of the girls get crushes on Vicki like they do on male teachers as well. However, I don't think any of us realized, or were afraid to fathom, that Vicki was setting these relationships up. I, for one, believe this account. Why? Because Vicki is very aggressive and would likely be a predator in l*****n relationships. If Vicki were a gay male, they would be hypervigilant about the young boys, why not the same concern for the girls?
I also believe the plotting about the school board. I have witnessed her nose for posturing. The thing that rang true for me was the comments about Mormons and the conversion of school property. I have witnessed utterances of hatred from her about this school district, members of the school board, and parents who are Mormon, using their cult-like religion to brainwash their children.
She keeps a low profile about her lifestyle, but with the disclosure about the injustice to this girl (and many others, I am sure!) something needs to be done to review the morals of our teaching staff.
I do believe that I know who Dee is. The cancer comment tipped me off. I feel so badly because now I am reviewing all the times she came to me for help. I am filled with guilt and hope someone does something soon to protect our girls.
I have worked with lesbians before and do not consider myself prejudiced, but this goes far beyond the boundaries of acceptability. I will ensure the authorities and parents are notified.
