Cathleen Balman, 42, teacher, Clearwater Middle School, Clearwater KS

Cathleen Balman had a year long sexual relationship with a 15 year old boy.  She got caught.

Michelle Preston, 27, psychology teacher, Shawnee Mission West High School, Overland Park KS

Michelle Preston was arrested and charged with having sexual relations with three students.

Preston was involved in a serious one-car crash in Miami County immediately after the criminal inquiry began earlier this year. She had to be airlifted to the hospital.  Mail Online is reporting that the car crash was an attempted suicide.

Personally I hope that she can recover from this tragic situation.  If she is found guilty, I doubt her sentence will be too severe.  It will be difficult for her, but hopefully she can rebuild her life, she is so young, and has many (good) years left...
