Here is a list of the teacher 'sexpidemic' cases WND has documented
where
female teachers have been accused, or convicted, of assaulting
students:
Adrianne Hockett: Accused of having sex with a 16-year-old special-
needs
student in a Houston apartment she rented for the get-togethers. The

Spring, Texas, school district was arrested Oct. 26, 2007, for

Allenna Ward, 24: Minister's daughter from Laurens County, S.C., was
a
second-year teacher at Bell Street Middle School in Clinton, S.C.,
when
she was fired Feb. 28, 2007, for allegedly having sex with at least
five
boys. Some of the purported victims, ages 14 and 15, were students at
Ward's school. Authorities say the married woman had sex with the
boys
not only on campus, but also at a motel, in a park and behind a
restaurant. On Sept. 6, 2007, Ward pleaded guilty to six charges ?
three
second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts
on

apologize. I
sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions," she told the
court.
Amanda Athey
Amanda Athey, 27: Charged Aug. 8, 2007, in Huntersville, N.C. with
three
counts of indecent liberties with a female student and one count of
sexual activity with a female student. The relationship came to light
when the girl's father became suspicious of the Hopewell High School
English teacher's friendship with his daughter. She had told the
father
she was married to a man named Cal but after her arrest, it came to
light
she lived with another woman named Callie.
Amanda Miner
Amanda Miner, 28: Substitute teacher in Jefferson County, Mo.,
arrested
in November 2007, charged with one count each of statutory sodomy and

Miner on three occasions at her home. He said Miner invited him over
to
play video games, and that the two later would have sex.

student. She received no jail time, only two years of probation after
pleading guilty in September 2005.

was
illegal.

High
School was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a student in
November 2005. She reportedly remarked she didn't think her
relationship
was inappropriate based on her Internet research, learning Georgia's
age

after
a 15-year-old boy at the alternative education school in Warren,
Maine,
told police he had an ongoing sexual relationship with her. Flirting

Amy McElhenney, 25: Charged with having a sexual relationship with an
18-
year-old male student, the 25-year-old Hebron High School Spanish
teacher
and former Miss Texas contestant will not be serving any jail time
after
a Denton County, Texas, grand jury refused to issue an indictment in
September 2006. While the age of consent in Texas is 17 years, a
state
law bans sexual relationships between educators and students even if
the
student is of legal age and the relationship is consensual. She could
have faced 20 years in prison if indicted and convicted.

at
Meadowcreek High School in Norcross, Ga., gave birth to a baby girl

Coffey's attorney said.

Mexico. She was indicted in January 2006 for illegal sex acts with a
minor and returned to Kentucky. Charges included felony custodial
interference, two counts of third-degree sodomy and four counts of

years
probation, and was forced to register as a sex offender.

prison.

Carol Flannigan, 50: Boca Raton, Fla., music teacher reportedly slept
with 11-year-old former student, and also had a simultaneous sexual
relationship with the boy's father. In a deposition, the boy's father
