Kristen Nicole Sullivan, 25, Computer teacher, Lauderhill Middle School, Lauderhill FL

Kristen Nicole Sullivan was arrested on allegations of having an illicit relationship with a 14-year-old male student. Police say the relationship lasted about a year and that the two may have been having sex since May 2009 when the boy was 13. The boy’s mother confronted Sullivan some time ago however Sullivan denied the relationship. The boy got caught with incriminating text messages by his girlfriend.  Police got the goods on her, by monitoring a phone call between the teacher and the student. The boy claims they had sex over 100 times, sometimes 3 times a day.

Update Dec 19 2011: Kristen Nicole Sullivan decided Monday to accept a plea deal to resolve her criminal charges. She will serve 3 years in prison, followed by 5 years probation to avoid sexual predator status. She would have faced a trial if she did not accept the offer.

Tammy Clinton, 39, 8th grade geography teacher, Farnell Middle School, Tampa FL

Tammy Clinton is accused of forcing a 14 year old middle school boy to touch her breasts, while she groped his buttocks. And of trying twice to arrange to meet him off campus for sexual activity. Police arrested her on two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation and two counts of lewd and lascivious conduct.

The distressed student eventually revealed what had taken place, and police had him wear a wire to collect evidence.

Apparently Tammy was a popular teacher with a spotless record, who taught at the school for eight years. Which just shows how effective those school background checks are...

Update May 11 2011:  Tammy Renee Clinton pleaded guilty to one count of lewd and lascivious conduct, and was placed on probation for 10 years. In exchange for the plea, the state dropped a molestation charge.

Mary Jo Spack, 45, English teacher, Freedom High School, Tampa FL

Mary Jo Spack was arrested and charged with two counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors and one count of unlawful sex with a minor. Police reports say Spack met two boys, ages 17 and 18, at a liquor store where she purchased booze. Then she took them to a Howard Johnson Express motel, where she rented a room, and 3 more teens joined the party. Spack was allegedly heard having sex with a 17-year-old in the shower. Mary Jo's fun ended when the student started bragging about boning a teacher. WESH Channel 2 in Orlando (NBC) says it was an orgy, but I did not see that allegation anywhere else.

Spack teaches at Freedom High School, which is located in the same county that Stephanie Ragusa got in trouble in.

Watch the video of Mary Jo getting booked here at Tampa Bay Online. She's wearing a denim miniskirt and that yellow shirt. Her legs look pretty decent, but it looks like she's got a tire around the waist.

Update March 2009: Spack pleaded guilty to felony battery, and was sentenced to five years probation.

Stephanie Ragusa, 31, Math teacher, Davidsen Middle School, Tampa FL

Stephanie Ragusa has been arrested and charged with five counts of lewd and lascivious battery on allegations of having sex with a 15-year-old boy.

It is further alleged that the victim was also able to describe tattoos located on either side of Ragusa’s who-ha, tattoos which could only be seen if she wasn’t wearing clothes.

Update April 15 2008: Stephanie Ragusa has been arrested again. She was slamming another 15 year old. Police were able to link her via cell phone text message records. Allegedly she had sex with the boy as recently as Mar 10 2008.

Update April 28 2008: Stephanie Ragusa has been arrested again. Victim #2 did not show up for school, so police went to his house. They found Stephanie Ragusa there! So she got arrested for the third time in six weeks.

Update May 8 2008: Police believe there are now a total of four victims, and are investigating if there are others.

Update July 8 2008: Police release pictures of Ragusa's tattoos.
