Zenna Galeria, 23, teachers aide, American Falls High School, American Falls ID

Zenna Galeria has been officially charged with felony sexual battery. She has not been arrested because of her cooperation, officers said. She will be served a summons for her arraignment on August 15.

Galeria was fired after an investigation into her relationship with a 17 year old student. Allegedly the relationship started with text messaging and ended in ~~shagging~~ something physical. The head volleyball coach/teacher's aide and the student have had an ongoing relationship for the last five months. The sheriff's office believes it started during the last half of the school year.

Evidently Zenna is married to a guy named Robbie.

Update Aug 15 2011: Galeria was in court for her arraignment, and is due back in court August 26th at 10 a.m.

Update Sept 9 2011: Zenna Galeria pleaded not guilty to the charges against her.

Update Nov 14 2011: Zenna has changed her plea to guilty, evidently in hopes of getting a lighter sentence. She will be sentenced Jan 14 2012.

Update Jan 13 2012: Zenna was sentenced to 45 days in jail.
