ARLINGTON A suburban North Texas high school teacher has been accused of having sex with five 18-year-old students at her home and was released on bond Monday.
Brittni Nicole Colleps, an English teacher at Kennedale High School, is charged with five counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher a second-degree felony. It is a criminal offense for teachers to have sex with a primary or secondary school student, no matter the students age. A conviction carries a penalty of anywhere from two years to 20 years in prison per count.
The Arlington woman was booked into the city jail after turning herself in Monday morning and posted a $125,000 bond for her release that afternoon, police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis Richard told The Associated Press.
A telephone message left at Colleps home was not returned.
Authorities allege Colleps, 27, had sex with the students at her home over the past two months. Arlington authorities began investigating the allegations after hearing about them from school staff and Kennedale police on May 11.
During the investigation, Arlington detectives learned that Colleps and students had exchanged text messages that included sexually explicit pictures, Richard said. Students also told detectives of having sex at the teachers home.
Kennedale school Superintendent Gary Dugger told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that school officials learned about it Tuesday night and by Wednesday afternoon had gone to police.
Tarrant County records show Colleps has been married for seven years, the Star-Telegram reported.
Aside from being a first-year English teacher, Colleps coached the freshman girls basketball team.
She was placed on paid administrative leave until the end of the school year, said Mike Leasor, attorney for the Kennedale school system. Colleps had resigned her teaching contract in April, before the scandal came to light, Leasor said.
Kennedale is a town of about 7,300 residents near Arlington eight miles southeast of Fort Worth. The high school has about 3,200 students.
Okay!
I literally choked on my coffee!
“Hypothetical situation, huh, alright, I’m standing on a street corner and Ms Gray there comes up and propositions me. She says if I come home with her, for five dollars she’ll put on an exhibition with a shetland pony.”
“What are you trying to do Callaghan?”
“I’m just trying to find out if anybody in this room knows what the hell law’s being broken besides cruelty to animals!”
how about president and intern
The law is to prevent a teacher who has authority over a student to take advantage or coerce a student into doing something he or she might not want to do.
Gadzooks! What are you smoking? Or better yet, how old is your bed mate?

“The law is to prevent a teacher who has authority over a student to take advantage or coerce a student into doing something he or she might not want to do.”
How could the students be coerced or intimidated into a relationship? All they would have to do is report it and she becomes a felon.
How do some women get coerced or intimidated into getting an abortion?
Dude, why you gotta go hating on Sitting Bull like that?
“how about president and intern”
What about it? There is no law against a president gettin a hummer from his intern, as long as it’s voluntary.
While I agree that a teacher probably shouldn’t be bangin his/her students, I still find it silly that it’s illegal, as long as both people are over 18.
Damned horny Texas teachers...there ought-to-be-a-law!!
Oh, there is! :):)
If they pass a law outlawing firearms will you turn yours in, after all it is the law..
“Rebellion to tyranny to obebenience to God.”
I used to have a mentor who told me, “There will come a day when you are sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair and you will ‘hit’ anything, and you won’t be able to. So, don’t get all high and mighty. When you get the chance, you take it.”
Not always the best advice. But when it comes to guilty or not guilty one needs to consider it.
