If convicted, teacher faces 30 years in prison
Claiming that her text messages were just harmless ‘sexual therapy’, this former ‘teacher of the year’ is accused of having sex with a student she tutored when he was just 12 years old. According to reports at Tampa Bay News, the trial is in progress for married mother, Ethel Anderson, 30, of Florida, who has been accused of having a three-month sexual relationship with a boy she tutored.
In a court testimony, the boy stated: ‘I felt like she was a girlfriend, I loved her and she said that I was her boyfriend and she loved me. She would rub on my legs, kiss on my ears, neck and stuff like that…We would tongue kiss.’
The victim, whom is now 14, and whose name has not been released, said that during the tutoring sessions, Anderson would kiss him and perform oral sex on him. Anderson worked as a language arts teacher at Mango Elementary. She denied the charges when she took the stand, even when the boy’s m other recorded a confession of Anderson ‘admitting’ to performing oral sex on the boy.
Anderson told the court: ‘At the time, with him struggling with school and having behavioral issues and anger issues, acting out at home and not being able to connect with his family, the way that he and his parents felt, that was my purpose. To gain his attention and, yes, I did it in an inappropriate way.’
Wearing a wire, the victim’s mother, got the confession from Anderson that could really nail her in this case. The confession was played to the jury. If convicted of the allegations, Anderson could face up to 30 years in prison. Read the entire story here.
