Honk News (San Angelo, TX) – A former math teacher from Indiana is now confronting several new charges related to sexual abuse.
Prosecutors allege that Brittany Fortinberry, 31, is facing accusations from five additional victims, one of whom is a 13-year-old, according to WTHR.
She is confronting further allegations including child molestation, distribution of harmful material to a minor, contributing to a minor’s delinquency, and one charge of sexual misconduct involving a minor, according to WTHR.
In a shocking turn of events last month, Fortinberry faced serious charges, including sexual misconduct with a minor, the dissemination of harmful materials to minors, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, involving three students, one of whom was just 15 years old at the time. Reports indicate that the incidents in question took place during the years 2023 and 2024.
On August 23, 2024, Fortinberry stepped down from his position at the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, according to a spokesperson, as reported.
Prosecutors announced that five additional victims have stepped forward, according to WISH-TV.

A 13-year-old boy reported to authorities that Fortinberry administered drugs to him and his friends before sexually assaulting them at her residence.
When the victims expressed their reluctance to engage with Fortinberry, she reportedly urged them, “Just let it happen.”
In a shocking incident, Fortinberry reportedly spent $600 on items for a group of teenagers, compelling them to wear Ghostface masks from the Scream film series, before allegedly committing sexual assault, as reported by WTHR.
Reports indicate that she purportedly cautioned the teenagers that if they revealed her actions, she would take her own life.
A teenager has come forward, alleging that she assaulted him after requesting his help with babysitting her children, according to the report.
In August 2024, an investigation was launched after two high school students informed staff about allegations against a math teacher at Eminence High School. The teacher reportedly sent them inappropriate messages on Instagram, along with videos showcasing her sex toys and a stripper pole located in her Martinsville residence, as detailed in a police probable cause affidavit obtained by PEOPLE.
On December 10, 2024, authorities launched an investigation into a separate matter after a woman approached the Morgan County Prosecutor’s Office. She claimed that her grandson revealed to her that he had experienced sexual acts with Fortinberry when he was 15 years old, according to a second affidavit.
According to the affidavit, when questioned by authorities regarding the accusations, Fortinberry did not express any remorse for her actions. She expressed to the officer her deep regret over the day she shed the extra pounds, stating that she believes she wouldn’t face any of these challenges if she were still 150 pounds heavier.
