A flirtatious Brandy Lynn Gonzales lured five boys from her fifth-grade classes into sexual acts at movie theaters, her apartment and even her classroom, prosecutors said Thursday.
At least one student was taken to her apartment, where he was sexually assaulted by Gonzales, 27, and her husband, Johnny Gonzales, 31, said Assistant Harris County District Attorney Denise Oncken.
"Evidently, according to the victims, she was quite a flirt in the classroom," Oncken said.
A judge set bail at $320,000 Thursday for the former teacher charged with sexually abusing five students at Piney Point Elementary School in 2004. Wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs, Gonzales, 27, looked at the floor as she shuffled into state District Judge Michael McSpadden's court for a brief probable-cause hearing.
The charges involve four students in the same fifth-grade class and a fifth boy from a different class.
The students alleged that Gonzales would touch them under desks during class.
That behavior escalated when she invited them to the movies.
"Several of the kids would actually see what was going on with other boys at movie theaters as well as in the classroom," Oncken said.
The boys' parents often dropped off their sons at the theater, assuming Gonzales was a good teacher reaching out to their children, Oncken said.
Gonzales was charged with three counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Bail was set at $50,000 each for two of the counts and $200,000 for the third count.
On two additional counts of indecency involving a child, bail was set at $10,000 each.
Her husband waived his probable-cause hearing. He is in the Harris County Jail on $200,000 bond and charged with one count of aggravated sexual assault of a child, along with one charge of failure to report sexual abuse of a child. His court date was reset for Jan. 12, when Brandy Gonzales also is scheduled to appear again.
Another male student said that he had inappropriate contact with the woman inside her classroom on Feb. 5, 2004.
An aggravated sexual assault charge stems from an alleged June 1, 2004, encounter in which Gonzales performed oral sex on a boy before having intercourse with him, Oncken said.
The husband also allegedly performed sex acts on the boy, the prosecutor said.
"It's my understanding that both of them were engaging in sexual acts with one of the victims at their residence," Oncken said.
Prosecutors said they know of more cases with each of the current five victims. They have enough information to file more charges on other sexual encounters between the couple and children.
"There were multiple offenses against the victims," Oncken said.
Authorities are encouraging anyone who may have been assaulted by the couple to come forward. She had worked at numerous schools before teaching at Piney Point.
27 or 47 ? Fugly is as fugly does. Those poor kids will be in analysis for the rest of their lives.
She reminds me of all the Paul Wellstone cheerleaders around my part of the country - Minneapolis!
Just a thought, but perhaps if we actually treated women the same as men in respect to "braking the law" it just might make an impact!
The defense attorney will come up with some theory that she was constantly the victim of bullys when she was in elementary school. All the boys and girls teased her because she was fat and ugly and so she could'nt help herself when these boy toys looked up to her when she was a teacher. She felt like she was still a student and was flattered by their attention and thus ..this happened. She was a living flashback!
Looks like a "sword swallower."
I was going to object to the characterization of giving some to underage boys as assault until I saw her picture. Now I'm thinking mercy screwing.
Certainly she had something outside of the female allure as a tool of enticement.
Those who STILL have "green and white" bumper stickers displayed?
Just one look says... “throw the book at me!”.
While reading the article I was picturing that hot blonde teacher recently caught with boys.
Imagine my surprise to see the photo of this sweat hog!!
I heard about this earlier today. See my comment http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1753737/posts?page=691#691
Damn straight. 20-to-life.
Yup, guilty.
You realize Bambi was a boy, right?
And throw away the key!
You missed that she involved her husband as well.
Make sure your children will TELL YOU if this happens. Too often these things become 'common knowledge' but don't reach folks who will take action to see this predation will end.
"those with the green and white bumper stickers:
You got it........I always make an effort to check out the driver and if it's a woman, you can take it to the bank, she looks as bad as this "teacher."
