Laura Michelle Gallegos, 38, teacher's aide, Shasta High School, Redding, CA

Laura Michelle Gallegos has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with with a member of the Orland High School wrestling team, including in the stands during a state wrestling meet in Bakersfield. She is also accused of having exchanges of sexually explicit text messages with another juvenile male on the wrestling team.

Evidently one of the students mothers was checking his cell phone, and he admitted he was sexting the teacher's aide. A police investigation ensued. Gallegos was the mother of a wrestler at an unidentified school.

Update Feb 18 2012: Laura Michelle Gallegos changed her plea to guilty, to one felony count of arranging a meeting with a minor with the purpose of committing lewd acts. She was facing a trial beginning Feb 21. As part of the deal, 9 felony charges were dismissed. She faces up to 4 years in prison.

Meagan Gordon, 22, substitute teacher, Sussex Technical High School, Georgetown DE

Meagan Gordon was charged for allegedly showing nude photos of herself to a 15-year-old student. The student's mother had filed a complaint with school officials because she suspected that her son was text messaging with a teacher at the school. Allegedly the student swiped the teacher's cell phone, and went to the restroom to view the photos on her phone. The teacher of course had nude photos of herself on the phone (who doesn't?). No word on what the student did to himself while in the restroom. After finishing up in the lavatory (I really hope he washed his hands), the student returned the phone. Later on in class, the teacher again allowed the student to check out the pictures of her goodies, and they exchanged cell phone numbers, etc.

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...
