Melissa Mathis, 37, English teacher, Ripley High School, Ripley MS

Melissa Mathis teacher was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual battery by a person of authority. Someone made a complaint to school officials, who contacted police. The police investigation found evidence that she had sex with, and had been sexting pictures to a student. The student admitted everything to police. Two incidents happened within a week of each other. Everything above is alleged, sorry I forgot to say that.

Interesting fact I've never seen posted before in other cases: This cougar is listed as 5’8” and 145 lbs. According to this BMI calculator, that puts her BMI at 22, and her weight in the 21st percentile for her age and height. So 79% of women her age are fatter - not bad at all, I wish I could find some better pictures of her.

Update Jan 27 2012: Melissa Mathis waived an indictment and has pleaded guilty to one count of sexual battery. She was sentenced to one year house arrest and five years post release supervision. Damn they do things quickly there in Mississippi! I have never heard of a case settled so quickly! Some go on for 2 or 3 years...
