Linda Lewis Trabucco, 44, English teacher, Collegiate Academy, Littleton CO

Linda Lewis Trabucco, 44-year-old English teacher at the Collegiate Academy in Littleton, pleaded guilty in February 2010 to sex assault of a male student, and was sentenced in April 2010 to five years to life of intensive supervised probation, with five years in prison as a condition of her probation. Trabucco was arrested in August 2009 for allegedly engaging in sex with a male student throughout his high school years.

The male student said he met Trabucco when he was in the seventh grade and their relationship began when he was a freshman and lasted throughout high school, where she was an assistant principal.

Trabucco and the teen began to meet on weekends at a bookstore where Trabucco would tutor the teen to help prepare him for his college entrance exams. After these weekend sessions they would walk around a nearby lake and kiss and hug which would often lead to sex.

Trabucco is a divorced mother who started working at the school in 2000. She was married and living with her husband and children during some of the relationship but got divorced at one point and moved to a home in Highlands Ranch.

The teenager told investigators that he and Trabucco engaged in sexual activity numerous times at his parent's house, while the teacher was married. After her divorce Trabucco bought a house in Highlands Ranch where she and the teenager continued to engage in sexual activity.

During the investigation deputies were also looking into allegations a second teenage boy may have had a relationship with Trabucco during the same time frame but they don't believe she's been involved with any recent students at the school.

For some reason I always notice this.  It looks like she has really big boobs.


Ashley Burkett, 31, teacher, Jay High School, Santa Rosa FL

Two Santa Rosa County teachers, April Burford Watson and Ashley Elenea Burkett, were arrested stemming from an investigation into unlawful sexual activity with minors. The investigation was initiated on July 28, 2009 after an anonymous letter was sent to the Santa Rosa County School District alleging sexual relationships between two Jay High School teachers and male juveniles. The letter was given to the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office for investigation. Interviews were conducted with the alleged victims in the case. Two victims alleged that they were involved in sexual activity with Watson at her residence and the residence of Burkett between the months of July and October 2007.

Both of the suspects were questioned by investigators and they both admitted to the unlawful sexual activity.

Wow!  These teachers shared the students.  Really makes me wonder if they had orgies together, or if these two got together for some carpet munching.
