Cinnamon Davis, 23, Counselor, Varangon Academy, Bartlett TN

Cinnamon Davis was charged with statutory rape after police say she engaged in sexual intercourse with a student repeatedly over the course of a weekend and gave him alcohol.

The victim's mother alleges that she did not see her son from Friday after school until midnight Sunday. The victim said he had spent the weekend with his counselor. Banging away...

Update Nov 7 2011:  The sex CHARGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED against Cinnamon Davis.  But now she is charged with a different crime: embezzling between $10,000 and $60,000 from the school.  And strangely she is now referred to as a secretary, not a counselor anymore...
