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.)
