In May2006 Amy McElhenney was a 25-year-old Spanish teacher at Hebron High School in Denton County, TX. She was also a former Miss Texas contestant. She was hooking up with an 18-year-old male student. Wait, 18, you say? Isn’t that legal? Technically, no, it’s not legal in Texas. State law says teachers can mess around with students.
The two were caught; she denied it, he admitted to it. A grand jury saw his side of the story and charged her with felony improper relationship with a student. Along with some dignity, she lost her teacher certificate.
