LUMBERTON, Texas - A former high school teacher accused of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old student has been indicted on two charges of an improper relationship with a student.
Kathy Denise White, 39, was indicted by a Hardin County grand jury Tuesday. White is accused of having at least two sexual encounters in September 2004 with the male student, who is now 18, according to the indictment.
The indictment comes after a Lumberton Police Department investigation and White's resignation last month from the school district, where she worked as a resource teacher at Lumberton High School.
"She didn't do it and is denying the allegations," David Barlow, White's lawyer, said Tuesday in a phone interview. "Since I've been involved in this, the allegations have been embellished.
"We don't even know who the complaining witness is because the indictment only has initials."
Lumberton Police Chief Norman Reynolds said one of the alleged encounters took place at White's home, while the other was at school.
White turned herself into police Tuesday and was released from the Hardin County Jail on a $2,500 bond, Barlow said.
Improper relationship between an educator and a student is a second-degree felony that carries a punishment of up to 20 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
Actually, the article is incorrect. The teacher was providing instruction to the teen on the proper way to put a condom on a banana - his banana.
It beat trying to teach him anything useful . . . . . . . . like math or English or . . . . . .

Woo hoo! Here we go again! Is it any wonder we have so many uneducated kids when their teachers are more interested in having sex with their students them than in teaching them.
And why is this not getting the attention that the Catholic priest pedophile stories have recieved?
Where were these teachers when I was in high school. You'd have to have seen Miss Cheney to understand!
no kidding....so...does this teacher and others like her qualify for the child molestation list...????
Picture anyone? We'd like to decide for ourselves.
Gosh, Us guys prayed for a teacher that would be so generous and helpful back when we were in high school!
She should be promoted.
BUMP
How can you molest the willing?
I can see there a problem it if it was rape or forced.
But these guys are living the dream for weeks!
After that, how about the parents start taking the heat for not seeing it and throwing on a bucket of cold water?
OK here we go again...
We will control the horizontal...
We will control the vertical...
We will control nature...
We will control you.
You are entering the Righteous Zone.
30 years ago, I had a teacher who was fired for going out with a high school student. He got divorced, married this girl and had kids and I believe are still together. At least they were at the 25th reunion......
My point is is that this kind of thing has been going on for sooooo long.....seems funny we hear so much about it now.
Isn't 17 over the age of consent?
Funny the euphemisms we employ.
"Improper" = sexual
I believe TX has a law that says as long as someone is a student in high school, anyone in authority over him can be charged with a crime, so it wouldn't matter even if he was 18.
I have noticed most of these teachers are Blonde. Is there a blonde joke here?
