English teachers Shelley Dufresne and Rachel Respess are accused of sleeping with the 17-year-old boy earlier this month after taking him to Respess’ apartment following a football game.
News channel WGNO reports that the two women, teachers at Destrehan High School in Louisiana, now face charges including carnal knowledge of a juvenile, contributing to delinquency of a juvenile and indecent behaviour with a juvenile.
The student, said to have been 16 when the alleged relationships began, had reportedly met the women multiple times “documenting some of their encounters on video”.
Married mum-of-three Dufresne also faces charges from authorities who believe her relationship with the boy continued elsewhere.
Police Chief Michael Glaser: “You have an educator, I guess, the responsibility is the safety and education of the children and when it goes outside those lines I believe the community should be outraged.”
He added: “I do believe it’s lack of a better judgement. They should have known better.”
