Teacher in Texas allegedly had sex with 5 students

[jbhtexas]

How does a town of 7,300 have a HS with 3,200 students?

School district boundaries don't align with municipal boundaries. For example, I live in the city of Arlington, but am part of the Mansfield school district. The Kennedale school district stretches into the cities of Arlington and Ft. Worth.

One with a brain and a conscience???

It's a really bad idea to have sex with your teacher who has three kids and a husband in the military. I feel sorry for and am concerned for any 18-yr old who can't make that determination.

Because 18 year olds so frequently choose "the right thing" over hormones? Hell, half of our elected leaders can't do that.

Ever hear of being "young and stupid"? I swear that if some of the CF posters knew the things my buddies and I did during that phase of our lives, they'd round us up and put bullets through our heads.

You let the boys have sex with the teachers.

There's hormones, and then there's having sex with your married teacher...

You should've been gone!

are we really debating whether or not the 18 year olds made the right decision?

wait why is she getting charged. Isn't having sex with 18 yr olds legal?

Not as a teacher in Texas.

five counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher — a second-degree felony. It is a criminal offense for teachers to have sex with a primary or secondary school student, no matter the student's age. A conviction carries a penalty of anywhere from two years to 20 years in prison per count.

Impersonating a Journey frontman.

From the original post:

Brittni Nicole Colleps, an English teacher at Kennedale High School, is charged with five counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher — a second-degree felony. It is a criminal offense for teachers to have sex with a primary or secondary school student, no matter the student's age. A conviction carries a penalty of anywhere from two years to 20 years in prison per count.

Which, personally, i think is a dumb law. Firable offense? Obviously. Lose their teaching license? Sure. But a felony for consensual sex between adults? No.

You must be a few minutes south of 20. We have some crossover in Arlington for sure.

It's Texas (in respect to it being a felony). She's lucky they don't give her the needle. (No jimlad)

Exactly.

If I was her husband, I'd be WAY more ****** at her than the kids who slept with her, and its not even close.

It's Texas.

Texas is hardly unique in this law though.
