Ex-teacher to face 4 separate trials [rape, sexual abuse, Bountiful Utah]

BOUNTIFUL — A judge ruled Monday that a former Davis High School teacher will face separate trials on charges of sexually abusing three students.

Brianne Altice, 35, faces a total of 14 felony charges — including rape, forcible sodomy, forcible sexual abuse, unlawful sexual activity with a minor and dealing in materials harmful to a minor — stemming from alleged sexual relationships with three former Davis High students who were 16 or 17 years old at the time.

Second District Judge Thomas Kay ruled Monday that it was "appropriate and necessary" to split the 10 original charges into three trials, one relating to each victim.

While there are similarities in all three cases, Kay ruled that they were not connected.

A fourth trial has also been ordered relating to four additional charges alleging Altice had sex with one of the victims while she was out on bail.

Altice's attorneys argued that lumping the cases together could result in "extreme prejudice" by a jury. Prosecutors, however, contended that the three cases together painted a picture of Altice's motives.

A scheduling conference has been set for April 9.

The former English teacher, currently being held in the Davis County Jail, is accused of sending explicit messages to the then-teenagers and meeting them for sex, including in her car and at her home. She was arrested in October 2013.

Kay ruled March 16 that an alleged confession while she was questioned by Davis County sheriff's deputies about one of the victims will be permissible at trial.

Earlier this month, one of the three former students who allegedly had sexual relations with Altice filed a civil lawsuit claiming the school district should have done a better job screening prospective employers and providing better training.

The student, his parents and his attorneys are seeking at least $674,000 in damages.

The charges allege she forced teenage boys to have sex with her...

How much "force" would it take?

Pretty much a sternly raised eyebrow would have worked on me.

What a waste of taxpayers funds.

Just someone looking for both a good time and a payout.

Looking at her only a gay teenage boy would have to be forced to have sex with her.

Beam me up.

I was a guy in high school once. This is just BS IMHO. Doesn’t LE and the local DA have better things to do?

Why, in SLC Utah, if you're a high school educator and you sexually assault a student, the judge will throw the book at you and give you probation, like this lesbian educator:

She gave birth to children, so I think the answer is “no.”

ABSOLUTELY 100% Not Guilty! (She can come up here.....I’ll supervise her ‘house arrest’ sentence!)

Seems like it could be/should be the boys she didn’t hit on that would be suing ;)

I guess that gives “A Trip to Bountiful” a whole new meaning.

This woman looks like a nutcase and she has a very odd, almost Asian face. Bizarre, but then in my mind, much of Utah is bizarre. Apologies to people from Utah, but it’s a strange place.

I wonder what quadruple probation looks like.

Where the heck was she 60 years ago when I was in high school.....I find it difficult to believe that she forced anyone to do anything....and the nitwit kid and his parents who want to sue for damages because junior was traumatized need to be charged with attempted fraud against the state.

Has common sense disappeared altogether??? I certainly understand adults taking advantage of innocent vulnerable children.....but a sex kitten like her having to force 16, 17 year old males to have sex is ludicrous at best...they are lined up following her and dreaming about it.

Any parent of a male of that age who would deny reality should be concerned with their own parenting skills...
