SHELLEY DUFRESNE & RACHEL RESPESS |
Shelley Dufresne, 32, and Rachel Respess, 24, from Destrehan High School in Louisiana are charged with carnal knowledge of a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
Their antics were brought to the attention of police after the student bragged about his sexual encounter at school.
According to the sheriff’s office, the teachers had sex with the student after a football game on Sept. 12 at Respess’ home.
Investigators confirmed that the three reportedly were together at the house until the “early morning hours.”
The student, who is now 17, reportedly told investigators the encounter was consensual.
According to WGNO, former students said the three “had been hot and heavy for some time, meeting for sex multiple times and documenting some of their encounters on video.”
Investigators are now working to collect further evidence. It is alleged that cellphones and images are being reviewed of the three together.
“No matter what sex the victim is, everyone should be outraged,” Kenner Police Chief Michael Glaser said, WDSU reports.
“You have educators whose responsibility is the safety of children.”
Dufresne is married with three children and, according to the school’s website, is in her 10th year at the high school. She taught the boy English this year.
Respess graduated from Destrehan in 2008 and has been teaching at the school for two years.
She taught the boy English last year.
Both teachers have been suspended without pay, according to Stevie Crovetto, public information director for St. Charles Parish public schools.
