When you're a kid, your parents tell you to trust the police and your teachers. So imagine being a child who gets taken advantage of by a police officer or a teacher. Two North Carolina girls know this story all too well.

William “Matt” Matthew Hill, 30, of Ivey Road, Graham, was charged in February 2010 with two counts of statutory rape and two counts of statutory sex offense for incidents that allegedly occurred in April 2009. The 14-year-old girl was involved in the police department’s Explorer program, for teens interested in police work.

Hill resigned his position with Burlington police in July 2009, following an investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation and an internal investigation by the department. He had been with Burlington police since 2008.

The investigation began after the girl’s mother allegedly found a text message from Hill to her daughter on the girl’s cell phone. In the message, Hill allegedly invited the girl to spend the night at his home because he knew she was planning to spend the weekend at a friend’s house.

The 14-year-old may never look at law enforcement the same again. Her stepfather said as much in court.

During Monday’s hearing, the state presented a letter from the girl’s stepfather condemning Hill for destroying his daughter’s trust in law enforcement and asking Superior Court Judge Michael J. O’Fogludha for the maximum sentence.

“(Hill) was everything that our daughter wanted to be. She looked up to him and wanted to learn from him and become an officer of the law so that she could serve her community,” the man wrote. “Police officers should be held to a higher standard because they are entrusted to enforce the laws that all of us must live by.”

Closer to home, as in Charlotte, a victim's right to sue for sexual molestation by a Charlotte Mecklenburg School System teacher is being hampered.

A former South Mecklenburg High School student is suing her former band teacher and the school board.

She said Richard Priode, the former teacher, had sex with her. He pleaded guilty to taking indecent liberties with a minor. He said the school board knew or should have known that Priode was a threat and didn't do anything about it.

But a judge ruled Tuesday that the school board is immune from part of the lawsuit, and maybe all of it.

The victim's lawyers said that's not right.

“The school system is treated differently than every other institution,” one lawyer said. “Churches are held responsible if they don't check, if they hired a sexual predator, YMCAs, camps, everybody is, but not school systems."

The judge said yes to some immunity, but since neither side wanted that ruling, they're both appealing

Arrests and court cases are only one aspect of healing for victims of sexual molestation. According to hypnotherapist, Jacquelyne Morison, BA, DACHp, MHS post traumatic stress disorder often follows a victim of sexual molestation.

PTSD symptoms develop in the trauma-victim when the subjective perceptual impact of the stressor is exceptionally forceful because the traumatic event is outside the normal range of human experience and, therefore, engenders a powerful response of objective, realistically-founded anxiety which will debilitate his/her ability to cope with normal life. PTSD differs from commonplace stress in that while certain predisposing factors (such as a personality disorder and/or a previous history of neurotic illness) are capable of lowering the victim’s resilience-threshold or aggravating the condition via cognitive and emotional filtering, in the main, such factors are insufficient to justify the materialisation of symptoms.

Sex tapes are now a part of pop culture. Kim Kardashian can credit her career to a sex tape. Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson shot to higher heights of fame because of a honeymoon sex tape. But, when it comes to a purported sex tape of one of America's first sex symbols, Marilyn Monroe, no one is buying.

Spanish memorabilia collector Mikel Barsa put the short film up for auction in Buenos Aires at the Borges Cultural Center asking a starting price of $480,000.

Barsa told The Associated Press that it is still possible he could sell the film to a buyer from Denver he declined to identify, but the price would be about half the opening bid he had requested.

A threatened suit from the Monroe estate, however, have given him second thoughts about going through with the sale, he told the AP.

Since Barsa announced the auction, experts in the screen legend have questioned whether the young woman in the film really is Norma Jean Baker.

Barsa told the AP that the scratchy, black-and-white six-minute film shows the young actress before her Hollywood breakthrough. The report says the film may have been shot around 1946 or 1947, when she was "poor and desperate to break into show business.

The problem with old sex tapes is that the stars usually aren't around to prove they're actually in it.

Scott Fortner, a blogger and Monroe expert who has collected several of her items like clothing, childhood possessions and an array of the star's memorabilia, shared a series of pictures with ABCNews.com where he pointed out the differences between Monroe and the woman in the film.

"For me the main aspect is the widow's peak," Fortner said. "The woman in the film has a straight hair line; Marilyn has always had her widow's peak."

He added that there is an inconsistency with Barsa's timeline with regards to when the film was made.

When you think of N.C.-based sex toy company Adam and Eve, I'm pretty sure medicine doesn't cross your mind; however, The University of Minnesota Medical School has 50,000 reasons to thank Adam and Eve.

Adam & Eve, a North Carolina company that produces pornographic films and bills itself as "the largest and oldest retailer of adult sex toys in the United States," said it donated the money toward the creation of the Joycelyn Elders Chair in Sexual Health Education at the University of Minnesota Medical School, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Tuesday.

The school said the money and other donations will finance the nation's first university chair dedicated to creating lifelong sexual education curricula. The position is expected to be officially created in five years.

"We support sexual health education," said Chad Davis, marketing director for Adam & Eve. "That's how we started, distributing condoms. We believe in safe sex and people being educated about safe sex practices."

What a great donation, and kudos to the University of Minnesota for being smart enough to accept it.
In case you're wondering who Joycelyn Elders is, let me refresh your memory:

In 1994, she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, "I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught." This remark caused great controversy and resulted in Elders losing the support of the White House. White House chief of staff Leon Panetta remarked, "There have been too many areas where the President does not agree with her views. This is just one too many."

Finally, there is some good news for women. birth control will now be available with no copays.

The requirement is part of a broad expansion of coverage for women's preventive care under President Barack Obama's health care law. Also to be covered without copays are breast pumps for nursing mothers, an annual "well-woman" physical, screening for the virus that causes cervical cancer and for diabetes during pregnancy, counseling on domestic violence, and other services.

"These historic guidelines are based on science and existing (medical) literature and will help ensure women get the preventive health benefits they need," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

The new requirements will take effect Jan. 1, 2013, in most cases. Tens of millions of women are expected to gain coverage initially, and that number is likely to grow with time. At first, some plans may be exempt due to a complex provision of the health care law known as the "grandfather" clause. But those even plans could face pressure from their members to include the new benefit.

Of course, there are many people who are outraged by this — though you never hear outrage about insurance companies paying for Viagra, but I digress.
