Kristen Ross, 40, teacher, Riverside Elementary School, Cleveland Ohio

Kristen Ross was arrested and charged with sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. The student claims he had sex with Ross in her classroom on a desk after school on Jan. 15 and Jan. 31. Ross said the allegations were false, it was rumor started by the student, and someone tried to blackmail her about it, and it was all an April Fools prank.

Update Feb 4 2011: Kristen Ross pleaded guilty to felonious assault for having an "improper relationship" with a 14-year-old student. But in court, she told the students parents that even though she texted or phoned the boy nearly 4,000 times at all hours of the day and night, she never had sex with the boy. The police say she did, and that she also sent the boy a photo of her breasts. The judge sentenced her to two years in prison.

Update Feb 23 2012: Kristin Ross is getting an early release from prison.
