Soccer Mom Sentenced For Child Endangerment

Toni Allexy, 39, of Paradise, California, who was accused last October of furbishing alcohol to minors, driving while intoxicated with minors in her vehicle and fondling a teenage boy during the drive was sentenced today (09/04/2008) to four years probation with strict terms and conditions for a felony child endangerment charge.

Allexy was initially charged with performing a lewd act upon a child and four counts of child endangerment, but she accepted a plea bargain from the district attorney's office to plead no contest to one felony child endangerment charge that would include driving while intoxicated with a minor in her vehicle and fondling him in her state of intoxication. The plea doubled her potential sentence exposure from three years to six, but it left sexual offender registration up to the discretion of the judge.

Allexy knew the minors through her position as the head cheerleading coach with the Paradise Junior Bobcats Football League. Deputy District Attorney Lynda Hunt addressed the judge, staint that this case has been "very hard for everyone involved."

In many cases, boys who have been abused don't tell because they feel embarrassed, Hunt said. The abuse of a teenage boy by a woman is often seen as a "right of passage" she said, but that abuse has long term affects."

The victim did not tell his family what happened, Hunt said. When he did tell the truth, he suffered humiliation, and he still has feelings of anger, she said. The defendant is an adult, 39 years old, and she was in a position of trust as a cheerleading coach, Evans said. Allexy also took pride in being considered "the cool mom," she said.

Hunt said some of the boys on the football league called Allexy a "MILF" which is an acronym to imply the boys found her attractive. Hunt continued, explaining to the judge Allexy believed young boys found her attractive. She had minors over to her home, where she served them beer and vodka and tired to hide it from her husband by serving the alcohol in sippy cups.

Hunt said Allexy adamantly denied having any alcohol besides beer in her home, up until she was confronted with a store surveillance photo of her buying vodka, accompanied by two boys. After she provided alcohol to the minor, Hunt said Allexy began wrestling with her victim, and then she painted his nails, put a lipstick kiss on his cheek and put him on her lap to take a photo and sent it to his ex-girlfriend.

After some time, Allexy's husband found his wife and the minors asleep, with Allexy under a blanket with the boy. He then became angry and wanted to drive the minors home, Hunt said.Toni Allexy, 39, of Paradise, California, who was accused last October of furbishing... more

Cheerleading's Risky Lack of Rules

"Cheerleading is by far the most perilous sport for female athletes in high school and college, accounting for as much as two-thirds of severe school-sports injuries over the past 25 years, according to a new report. Yet cheerleading remains one of the least-regulated sports, despite more than 95,000 high school girls and 2,000 boys signing up for spirit squads nationwide each year.

New data from the University of North Carolina's National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research (NCCSI) catalogs 67 fatal or life-threatening injuries due to cheerleading since 1982. By contrast, there were nine catastrophic injuries in gymnastics, the sport second most prone to such incidents. Indeed, cheerleaders suffered more injuries than all other school athletes combined — about 65% of severe injuries on the high school level and 67% on the college level...

Since the 1980s, when schools eliminated gymnastics teams due to high liability costs, more sideline routines have been incorporating high-flying acrobatics. Girls start cheerleading at younger ages than ever, and parents have proven willing to pay thousands of dollars for their daughters to participate on elite touring squads that compete year-round. The pressure can consume coaches, teams and families alike...

Only about 20 states recognize cheerleading as a sport, which generally means there is less oversight than girls' soccer or basketball. But some states are now being pushed to expand regulation. One Massachusetts legislator, for example, is calling for the state to classify cheerleading as a sport, which would lead to codifying cheerleading training and competition safety practices. The push for legislation comes after two cheerleading fatalities in the state...

Such incidents have made safety an increasing priority within the sport, and these efforts appear to be paying off. Total catastrophic injuries went from 11 in 2005, including one fatality, to five injuries with no fatalities in 2006, according to the report. Part of that success comes from more coaches getting certified — about 30% of the 70,000 cheerleading coaches in the U.S. are now certified, according to the American Association of Cheerleading Coaches and Administrators. The certification course touches on key medical and legal issues and trains coaches on how to spot squad members properly during routines and how to safely progress teams through increasingly difficult stunts. Plus, in recent years, nearly all of the 75 major spirit organizations have issued some type of safety rules or guidelines...

...the NCSF recently published an emergency-plan outline to get coaches thinking about how to handle injuries more effectively, with steps including locating medical kits and making sure at least one adult present is certified in CPR. The fact that some cheering squads lack even these rudimentary precautions is pretty distressing. But that's not even the worst part, according to Archie. 'No one has to abide by any of these rules,' she says of the push for more safety precautions. 'It's a joke.' ""Cheerleading is by far the most perilous sport for female athletes in high... more
