Teacher, mother of 3, sentenced to five years for group sex with legal-aged students
ABC News reports,
A Texas high school teacher and mother of three was sentenced today to five years behind bars after a jury found her guilty of having sex with five male students, four of whom she had group sex with while being videotaped.
Brittni Colleps, 28, a former English teacher, was convicted of 16 counts of having improper relationships with students. Since the young men were all 18 at the time, she was not charged with statutory rape. . . .
Prosecutors said the group sex occurred while her children and husband, an Army specialist, were away.
The video was shown to the jury this week. . . .
Christopher Colleps, Brittni’s husband, said that he was working to forgive his wife for what she did. Though the couple had engaged in legal group sex with other adults together, he felt wronged by her actions with her students, he said.
“I’m asking you to give her probation. It’s not my fault or her children’s, and taking her away from us is punishing us,” he said.
