A former beauty queen-turned teacher could be going to jail, charged with having an inappropriate relationship with one of her students.
Amy McElhenney was crowned Miss Bexar County 2002, and competed in the Miss Texas pageant. Now, four years later, police say McElhenney is accused of having sex with 18-year-old student. They say they were made aware of the relationship after a tip that the 25-year-old had suggestive text messages, on her cell phone, from a student. McElhenney is from North Texas and majored in education and Spanish while she was a student at the University of Texas at Austin. She was never a resident of Bexar County, but was eligible for the Miss Bexar County contests because she was a Texas resident and lived within 100 miles of San Antonio.
Now the Bexar County beauty pageant winner, who became a cross country coach and teacher at Hebron High School, in Carrollton, faces a second-degree felony charge. Police say the student claims he and McElhenney had sex several times, but she denies there was ever a physical relationship. She reportedly did admit, to police, the relationship with the boy, was inappropriate.
According to Texas law, McElhenney faces felony charges, even though the student is 18-years-old, because there is a ban on all sexual relationships between teachers and students. She has resigned from the school and is currently out on a $5,000 bond.
In my opinion this is a victimless crime. Does anybody really belief that the 18 year old boy is traumatized by this?
The teacher should probably take some sensitivity courses and be transferred to a different school but I would not keep her from teaching or fine her. She just needs some lovin', poor little thing.
(Sorry for the crappy picture. It was all I could find.)
