Lauren Redfern, 25, Gym teacher, Basalt High School, Basalt Colorado

Lauren Redfern has a warrant out for her arrest. She has agreed to turn herself in to police today. She will be charged with sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. Allegedly she had repeated sexual contact with a 17 year old male student at the school. The student is a senior who is now 18. The relationship began in the fall and went on for 3 or 4 months.

Redfern graduated from Basalt High school in 2004, and was coaching the girls basketball team. Evidently Lauren was a great high school basketball player back then.

Update Feb 16 2012: Redfern was booked today, and will remain in jail pending her first court appearance. I hope someone told her about underarm deodorant.

Update Feb 16 2012: Some new info I saw today: Allegedly Lauren and her young sex partner were caught screwing in the teachers bathroom.

Update Feb 23 2012: Looks like she resigned her position.

Update May 24 2012: Laura pleaded guilty to a felony charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. But she will not face prison time and will not be added to the sexual-offender registry.
