WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A former Waterloo teacher accused of having a 17-year-old student shower in chocolate syrup and play strip video games is trying to have the case dismissed. Fifty-three-year-old Larry Twigg is charged with six misdemeanor counts of lascivious conduct with a minor. According to the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier, Twigg's attorney last month asked for the dismissal, saying a mental health evaluation showed Twigg didn't have the general intent to commit the crime. Attorney James Metcalf also said in court records that it's expected the psychiatrist hired by the state will offer an opinion that Twigg's acts weren't sexually motivated. Iowa law says the offense requires that the act is done to arouse or satisfy a sexual desire. Twigg was arrested in February 2010 and lost his job in March.
You know what? I was inclined to believe this guy until I heard about the strip video games. I mean, I don't know about the rest of you but there really isn't anything sexual about chocolate syrup showers. That's just good clean fun between a teacher and his underage co-ed student, nothing deviant there.
The strip video games changes things though. Brings up a whole range of questions like, what system were they using? What game was it? Where they online or not? These questions must be answered before we make a determination on this guys intent.
System- PS3/XBOX 360, not sexy. Old school Nintendo, SNES, Sega or Attari? Sexy. Let's be honest, there is nothing hotter than crushing a chic in old school Pong and then reaping the rewards that come with the win.
Game: Along the same lines, old school, sexy, newer RPG's? Dorky as fuck. No one is getting laid while bragging about their Call of Duty or Halo ranks, but you tell some chic you hold your dorm's all time record for Duck Hunt? All bets are off.
Online or Not: Here is where the new games and systems can trounce the old systems in sex appeal. Online playing allows that voyeuristic feel that is simply lacking from the old 32 bit cartridge systems. Don't get me wrong, watching a girl blow the dust out of an old NES game may be hott, but watching her trash talk a 12 year old after slaying him with the energy sword? That's every dorks dream girl.
