    Joliet Teacher Charged With Sex Crimes Sought Court Protection Against Alleged Stalker:
    The teacher claimed a Bartlett woman was accusing her of having an “inappropriate relationship with a student.”

    A Joliet junior high school teacher charged with sexually abusing two former students sought and obtained a protective order against a woman she claimed stalked her and accused her of having an “inappropriate relationship with a student.” Cara Labus, 30, succeeded in obtaining a protective court order last month from Will County Judge Marilee Viola, and managed to get the order extended on Jan. 8. But on Wednesday, the Orland Park police arrested Labus on charges of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in connection with incidents involving two teenage girls.

    ...

    In her petition for a protective order against a woman named Emily Sweetman, Labus said she was harassed at Hufford, as well as at her home and at her parents’ house ...In her petition, Labus does not explain her relationship with Sweetman. She does claim Sweetman texted her at least 50 times in one day.

    “The content of the messages included her accusing me of having an inappropriate relationship with someone I met seven years ago,” Labus said in her petition. “She accused me of being verbally, emotionally, physically and sexually abusive towards a friend and the friend’s sister, whom Emily is in a physical relationship with.”

    Sweetman showed up at Hufford in September, Labus said, slipping in through a side door. “Emily then told my boss, the principal, that she was an old student of mine ... My boss filed a police report on Emily for trespassing.”

    ...

    In December, “Emily showed up at my parents’ house with someone claiming to be one of the former students Emily is accusing me of having an inappropriate relationship with,” Labus said. “She rang the doorbell. My dad answered the door, and they asked to come in. My dad closed the door.”
