Bad Love

Rachel Holt, 35, was a science teacher at Claymont Elementary School in Delaware. Last year, she was charged with an astounding 28 counts of first-degree rape, after she allegedly had sex with a 13 year-old boy and student of hers during an "intense weeklong affair" in her apartment.

Geez, I'll say it was intense. At an average of four encounters a day, I think Holt might have set a new Bad Love record. Delaware News Journal reports that she got busted by the boy's father, who overheard a phone conversation between Holt and his son. It seems that the tricky Holt had called the kid's dad's girlfriend, pretending to be his mother, and got permission for him to spend the week with her from March 24-31 (probably the elementary school's spring break.)

One of the boy's 12 year-old friends was also invited to the spring break child-assault party, and she gave them both beer, and in classic cool mom/teacher style, also found time between 28 counts of rape to let the 13 year-old drive her car.

She pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, and was sentenced last week to 10 years in prison. "I hope you can forgive me," she said at the sentencing. "I know what I did was wrong."

Allenna Williams Ward, 23, was a middle school teacher in Clinton, SC. Yesterday she was arrested for criminal sexual contact and lewd behavior with minors.

Looks like Allenna was having sex with five boys ages 14 and 15, and the police suspect there may have been more. She was meeting these boys behind a restaurant, in a park, and in the school where she taught and some of the boys attended, as well as sometimes actually paying for a motel room.

She's married, and according to a blogger who knows her, Allenna and her family are all, you guessed it, "great Christian people". She got busted when school staff found a dirty note that she presumably wrote to one of the students she was involved with.
