Yet another teacher in Texas has been jailed for having sex with one of her students.
Christina McCann is alleged to have had sex with an 18-year-old student she was chaperoning during a conference for future business leaders in February
Christina McCann is the fourth teacher from the Lone Star state to be locked up in recent weeks for illegal sexual activity with a student.
The 39-year-old is alleged to have had sex with an 18-year-old student she was chaperoning during a conference for future business leaders.
Investigators in Austin, Texas claim McCann had been drinking with some of the six students she was in charge of during a competition organized by the Distributive Education Clubs of America.
Detectives believe McCann was drinking alcohol with the students when one of them returned to her hotel room and a sexual encounter took place.
The incident took place in February while McCann and her students were staying at a hotel in Fort Worth.
The students, from Lake Travis High School in Austin, were competing against other schools in a competition.
The Distributive Education Clubs of America seeks to prepare students to become leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance and hospitality.
Police began investigating McCann after a tip off and she resigned from her job as a marketing teacher at the High School last month.
A warrant was issued for her arrest last week and McCann turned herself in on Monday.
She was charged with an improper relationship between educator and student. Bail was set at $10,000.
McCann follows three other Texas teachers who are all facing jail after being charged with having sex with their students.
Britni Colleps, 27, of Arlington, is accused of having sex with five of her students. Her husband has vowed to stand by her and dismissed the allegations as false.
April Alexander, 26, from Irving, is facing up to five years in jail for having repeated sexual encounters with a 16-year-old.
And Angela New, 39, from Gladewater, is accused of sleeping with an 18-year-old from the high school where she taught English.
