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.

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.

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.
