The age of consent in Texas is 18, but there's a law forbidding teachers from having sexual relationships with students regardless of their age. The grand jury refused to find her guilty of an improper relationship with a student since the text messages colored their relationship as endearing and flirtatious, but she did lose her teacher credentials. |

| Elizabeth Stow, 26 and cute in a pony tail, was a high school English teacher who was arrested in April of 2005 after school officials investigated the rumors of sexual relationships between Stow and a few male students. That's right, a FEW. Prosecutors alleged that Stow had sex with three 17-year-old students and was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse and oral copulation with a minor, illustrating exactly what she'd been "stow"ing all along. Stow pleaded not guilty to all the charges, showing that she was stowing more balls than brains in this situation, and was given a suspended sentence of nine years and one year in a county jail. "We talked about it – like it was no secret. It was just a matter of time until she got caught." |

| Ridiculously cute 22-year-old Heather Shelton was charged with sexual activity with a 19-year-old student, which isn't illegal in any state, but still violates the age-old trust rule of "teachers probably shouldn't bang their students." Authorities said Shelton had sex with a guy that wasn't even her student, but they had sex in April, and in North Carolina, it is a felony for any teacher of a school to have sex with a student from that school. So, she was brought in. This one was actually pretty unfair. The age gap is pretty much nothing, and what the hell was a 19-year-old kid still doing in high school? Not only does she have a cute Alicia Silverstone quality to her, but she did nothing legally wrong. |
 |
