LOCKHART, TX (WTNH) A 27-year-old Texas teacher, who is accused of having sex with one of her students, is trending after her smiling mugshot went viral.
According to the Mirror, married science teacher, Sarah Fowlkes, was arrested for having an improper relationship with a 17-year-old student of Lockhart High School in Lockhart, Texas.
The investigation began on March 10th after a tip from officials at the high school. This led detectives to the student who admitted to being in contact physically and by messages with Fowlkes.
The Mirror reports that Fowlkes was charged after turning herself into police, just hours after reportedly celebrating her birthday out at a restaurant with her husband of four years.
Fowlkes has been suspended from the school and counselling is now being offered to students there.
Her lips say, “I love you”, but her eyes say, “Helter Skelter!”

Where was she when I was 17? I was bornb too late. “...counselling is now being offered to students there.” ROFLMAO
The Court hereby sentences you to be taken from this place and to be brought back to my place....
Innocent
I hope he was the biggest nerd science geek in the state. Take that Jocks.
Revenge of the Nerds
I don’t get why the involved “boy” wasn’t smart enough to keep his mouth shut.
Very clearly appears to be “Not Guilty.”
“I’ve got my pencil!”
If the court needs someone to re-enact the “crime” with the suspect then I will volunteer.
With the female teacher/male student, there's little need for coercion, as the female teacher (and theoretically, responsible party) controls the spigot, so to speak. The male student simply needs an opportunity in most cases. Therefore, the 'responsible adult' should have controlled whether or not the relationship happened.
Imagine the sentence if he'd committed hyperbole.
From the excerpt: “...Fowlkes was charged after turning herself into police...”
Transmogrification, or did she actually make it through the academy?
I would consider a mug shot to be the Ultimate Selfie.
Her job was to open her mouth, his job was to keep it closed.
She’s beautiful to look at, but something is terribly wrong here. If innocent, she has biased any jury after seeing her bright smiling Mug Shot. If guilty, she has exploded her teaching career, her professional reputation and very likely, she has ‘exploded’ her marriage.
What man would want to stay in such a publicly known position as husband to a potential child abuser. Some spouses actually would be that forgiving. Ready to forget all about her ‘mistakes’. Other spouses would ‘forgive’ if it meant they too had license to play around with ‘forgiveness’ already guaranteed.
He said “Titillating”!
I agree, and I think your post addresses why people, generally speaking, don’t take this as seriously. Assuming she’s cute, most guys say things like they wish this happened to them in school.
In the opposite case, this is now how it is perceived.
But really, both are a problem, though one really is more serious than the other.
She’s standing in front of an elevator. Does that mean she’s
‘going down’?
