Honk News (Indianapolis, IN) – An Indiana teacher, who is married, is accused of sexually abusing multiple students and sharing explicit images of her sex toys and stripper pole, claiming her actions were influenced by her significant weight loss of 150 pounds, as reported by officials.
A math teacher from Eminence Community Schools, Brittany Fortinberry, aged 31, faces multiple sex-related charges. Allegations include engaging in sexual acts multiple times with a 15-year-old student, who has reported that there may be at least five additional victims, potentially up to ten, as stated in court documents.
The documents revealed that the boy stated, “it was child molestation and he’s there because he doesn’t want her to molest more kids.”
The individual reported to investigators that Fortinberry initiated contact by sending explicit images on Snapchat, subsequently engaging in sexual activities multiple times, including an instance where she transported him 70 miles to the town of French Lick.
He claimed that the teacher provided him with drugs and warned that she would take her own life if he revealed anything to others.
A student reported that as many as 10 classmates are “thinking about discussing what occurred” while “some prefer to remain silent,” he informed the authorities, as stated in the records.
In December, a boy stepped forward, four months after Fortinberry was dismissed amid claims that she had sent inappropriate images to at least two other students, including nude photos and pictures of her sex toys and a stripper pole in her residence, as reported by Fox 59.
Authorities investigating her residence subsequently discovered items that corresponded with the descriptions provided, according to court documents.
Fortinberry faces serious allegations including inappropriate conduct with a minor, sharing harmful materials with a minor, and aiding in the delinquency of a minor, according to reports.
The inquiry by law enforcement into the matter is currently in progress.
