Gabriela Cortez, 42, Spanish teacher, Roosevelt High School, Los Angeles California

Gabriela Cortez was arrested on Wednesday for alleged sexual relationships with two students. An alleged victim contacted police because his conscience was bothering him, and told them he was banging Gabby from 2008 to 2010. During the ensuing investigation, the police found another student that also allegedly screwed her. All at her house.

She taught Spanish at the school for 18 years.

Kathryn Camille Murray, 28, 8th grade teacher, Memorial Middle School, Houston Texas

Kathryn Camille Murray was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child. Allegedly she was having sex with a 15 year old student in his home, when the boy's 12 year old brother walked in on them. The younger brother saw a tan bra and used condom on the floor. The older brother then introduced the younger brother to Mrs Murray. The boys parents were not home at the time.

A faculty member member had reported the inappropriate relationship on Feb 13, and the teacher was removed from her position. Murray had attended the school herself and was teaching there for three years. She tutored the boy after class and they started exchanging text messages. You see where this is going, right? Yep, next they fell in love and started having sex.

Murray emptied her bank account and bought a plane ticket to Mexico to visit her brother.  But after getting out of jail on bond, she has to wear an ankle monitor, so it looks like she will not be travelling any time soon. Murray has been married to a local lawyer since 2009.

Deborah Lee Tipton, 44, special education and eighth-grade math teacher, Mountain Community School, Hendersonville, North Carolina

Deborah Lee Tipton was charged with first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Allegedly she videotaped a girl's genetalia and then disseminated the video "for the purpose of producing material containing a visual representation depicting this activity, the defendant knowing the character and content of the performance and material."

That allegation makes my skin crawl.

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.

Andrea Ebert, 30, Special Education teacher, Rice Lake Middle School, Rice Lake WI

Andrea Ebert has been arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault. According to police, Ebert allegedly had sex with two different 17 year old students, on separate occasions, between Nov 9 2011 and Jan 31 2012. Allegedly she sent one boy 15 nude photos of herself.  The other kid got only 10. And he gave her a ride home from a bar.  If anyone has these pics, please send them to me at TeachersInCustody@gmail.com The criminal complaint alleges that Ebert admitted to spreading her legs for the boys and sending nude photos. A citizen tipped off police. Evidently Ebert was pulled out of class in the middle of the school day Friday, and transported by police to the police station, in a low-key manner. And allegedly the sexual contact with the boys happened in her homes in the city of Barron and the village of Cameron. Damn this skank hot box owned two houses!

The teacher is now on unpaid leave, and due back in court on March 22. Her husband filed divorce papers with the court yesterday.

Some awesome dude grabbed this off facebook before it got pulled down.
Supposedly it said she has 4 or 5 kids too.
We shall see, I'm sure that info will come out sooner or later...

Unknown teacher, 29, teacher, unknown school, Australia

First lets start out with the fact that Australia has different laws than the USA, which prevents the naming of the teacher, the school or the location of the offences. But a teacher pleaded guilty to five sex offences between November 2010 and January 2011. The lesbian teacher had an 8 month sexual relationship with a female student. She pleaded guilty to four charges of sexual penetration of a child under 16 or 17 in her care, supervision or authority, and one count of committing an indecent act. She was sentenced to three years' jail, with eight months to be served immediately, and the remaining 28 months were suspended.

Evidently the teacher and student told each other they loved each other. They exchanged 100s of text messages, would meet in local parks, sleep in the teacher's car together, and even skipped school to be with each other. The students mother was pissed off though, due to here daughter's innocence being violated.
