Teacher Admits She Had Sex With 5 Students

LAURENS COUNTY, S.C. -- A former Laurens County teacher pleaded guilty Thursday to having sex with at least five students.

Allenna Williams Ward, 23, a seventh-grade language arts teacher at Bell Middle School, had sex with several students in cars, parks, a hotel and at the school.

She pleaded guilty Thursday to six charges -- three second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor and three lewd acts on a minor. Family members and her attorneys accompanied her as she made an emotional statement to the court.

She said, "Today, I publicly admit my guilt and would like to apologize. I sincerely apologize for the effects of my actions."

Clinton police said that Ward had sex with at least five boys: three 14-year-olds, and two 15-year-olds. The students were at Bell Middle and another school that was not named.

Ward was fired when the allegations were made public in March.

While awaiting trial, Ward has been required to wear a tracking device and she was allowed no contact with her alleged victims or their families. She has only been allowed to leave her home to go to church or visit her lawyer. She was not allowed to use a cell phone.

Ward's family was required to pay for the electronic monitoring device, including a $150 administrative fee plus a $70 a week fee.

Thursday, Jerry Peace, 8th Circuit Solicitor, said, "She was in a position of authority. She had the trust of the community to teach kids right and do what you need to do around children to let them grow to be responsible adults. She violated that trust."

Ward will be sentenced at a later date. She could face a sentence of up to 105 years in prison.

"...Hmmm, need a pic from normal life to determine guilt. Mugshots could make Jessica Alba look questionable....."

That's a very good point. We had one hottie 22 year old English teacher in 10th grade and she was a constant target of sexual innuendo and flattery.

You push'em to forty after they've been teaching for 18 years, they're not so taken by young impressionable men.

If that were a mugshot I would give her the benefit of the doubt... but that is a school shot.


That is the booking photo according to this ABC article and photo with the accompanying note:

Another slutty product of the liberal controlled education system.

Frankly, I am quite sick of hearing about tramp so-called “teachers”.

If you put that shot on a mug, it would probably shatter. If it didn't I would not want to drink anything out of the mug.

I watched the LaFave interview on Lauer and some other show I can't recall. My impression of her was that she's cold as ice, a psychopath. At the time, many (including her lawyer) were saying she was "too pretty for prison," but my thought while watching her was that other prisoners would need protection from her. She just gave me the creeps.

I think you hit the nail on the head, and as a previous poster pointed out, she has SERIOUS problems and has no business being around kids.

I wasn’t justifying her behavior. If anything, I don’t understand what makes her tick.

About twenty years ago, I dated a girl who shared an apartment with a woman and her two kids. The woman had recently divorced her husband of 10 years so she could hang out with her 18 year old boyfriend. This woman was loony tunes, trying to relive her high school memories. It was a really pathetic situation—I felt very bad for the kids.
