Police say in the affidavit that the child's father noticed that a light had been turned off upstairs and went to investigate.

Mendoza has been charged three counts of aggravated sex assault, endangering the welfare of a child and burglary.
...
Last year, Trenton police charged Mendoza for peeping into a home, but the status of that case is unknown.

According to KAIT8-TV, "The court documents stated that she began by sending texts to the students 'which became more and more sexual in nature.'"

The television station added of the allegations, "Yet another victim said Goline sent him sexually explicit text messages, including a photo of herself in a thong. He said Goline 'texted him that she would like to have sex with him but he was too young.'"

KAIT-TV reports that Marked Tree police "began investigating Goline in April when a parent threatened to come to the school and 'do bodily harm' to her. The parent also reportedly said Goline was having sex with multiple students."

School administrators became involved, and Goline "came into the office and started crying," according to the television station, citing a court affidavit in the case.

She's accused of telling the principal: "I'm not going to lose my husband" and admitting of the acts with students, "We had sex."

In one case, Goline allegedly said she thought the student was older than he really was, reported The New York Post.

Loryn Barclay, a former substitute teacher at a Missouri High School, was accused of having sexual contact multiple times with a 17-year-old boy.

Shawnetta Reece, a gym teacher from Georgia, was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

Tracy Miller, a West Virginia teacher, was accused of sending nude photos to students.

Nataly Lopez, a 27-year-old former substitute teacher at a middle school in New Jersey, was accused of having sexual contact with a student.

Lindsey Jarvis, a 27-year-old middle school teacher's aide, was accused of the rape and sodomy of a student who was under the age of 16. Jarvis was arrested in Fayette County, Kentucky, on June 16.

Then there's Laura Ramos. She is a 31-year-old Connecticut high school teacher who is accused of having sex with a special education student. And there's Tiffany Geliga.

Death threats and harassment

Kiswanson and other human rights investigators affiliated with Al-Haq have been the targets of a long-running campaign of harassment and death threats that a veteran Israeli analyst has tied to Israeli government "black ops."

Al-Haq believes the threats are tied to Kiswanson's work preparing the dossiers for the international court. The government of the Netherlands, where the court is based, has said that a criminal investigation has been opened into the threats.

"Israeli Jewish domination"

According to a statement from Al-Haq, the latest file "addresses Israel's endeavor to enlarge its territory and ensure Israeli Jewish domination therein by altering the demographic composition of the occupied Palestinian territory."

Raji Sourani, director of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights, said that Israel's transfer of settlers into occupied Palestinian land "constitutes a unique war crime in that is coupled with the confiscation of massive tracts of Palestinian land, the extensive destruction of Palestinian property and the tearing apart of the Palestinian social fabric and way of life."

Although Israel's violations in the occupied West Bank can be looked at separately from those in Gaza, Issam Younis, director of the Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, explained how they are linked: "The isolation of Gaza, in addition to the regular, full-scale military assaults, ultimately enables Israel to consolidate its control over the whole occupied Palestinian territory and deny Palestinians their internationally recognized right to self-determination." ...

Sham self-investigations

Last month, two human rights groups concluded that Israel's own system for investigating alleged crimes against Palestinians by its forces is a sham.

Hundreds of cases, including the notorious killings of four boys playing football on a beach in July 2014, have not resulted in any accountability for the perpetrators.

In May 2016, B'Tselem announced it would no longer cooperate with Israeli military investigations of killings and other attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

"We will no longer aid a system that whitewashes investigations and serves as a fig leaf for the occupation," the Israeli human rights group's director explained.

When it comes to crimes like apartheid and settler colonization, Israel would obviously do nothing to investigate and punish itself - since these crimes are planned and executed by the state itself.

But even in situations where Israel recognizes - at least on paper - that a certain act is a crime, there has been zero accountability.

This should be an important factor in the prosecutors' decisions because according to its founding statute, the International Criminal Court only steps in when national judicial authorities are unwilling or unable to carry out genuine proceedings.

Villages face destruction

Whether the court acts is not just a matter of accounting for the past, but of stopping ongoing crimes.

This month, B'Tselem warned top Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, defense minister Avigdor Lieberman and the military chief of staff, that they would be personally liable for war crimes if they proceed with the apparently imminent destruction of Khan al-Ahmar and Susiya, two communities in the West Bank.

"The demolition of entire communities in the occupied territories is virtually unprecedented since 1967," B'Tselem said.

Robert Piper, the top UN humanitarian aid official in Palestine, tweeted, "All eyes on the Bedouin community of Khan al-Ahmar at risk of forcible transfers by Israeli authorities over the coming days."

He inadvertently identified a problem in which the UN plays a major part: the so-called international community stands on the sidelines and just watches as Israel commits crimes daily.
