A Kennedale High School teacher turned herself in to authorities Monday after Arlington police said she had sex with five male students at her home.
Brittni Nicole Colleps, 27, of Arlington was charged with five felony counts of inappropriate relationship between a student and a teacher. She was being held in the Arlington jail late Monday in lieu of $125,000 bail.
Colleps, a married mother of three, could not be reached Monday for comment. Authorities said her husband is on military duty and based in another state.
Although all five students were 18 or older, state law prohibits sex between a teacher and a student, regardless of the student’s age. The sexual incidents occurred during April and May, police said. The students confirmed that account, police said.
Investigators also found text messages between Colleps and the students that included sexually explicit photographs.
Colleps is a first-year English teacher and coached the freshman girls’ basketball team, according to the school’s website. Her staff biography says she earned her bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at Arlington in 2008 and her master’s from the University of Phoenix in 2010.
Kennedale ISD Superintendent Gary Dugger said Colleps told school officials in March that she would be resigning at the end of the school year. Dugger said he did not know why Colleps planned to resign.
School officials learned about the allegations last Tuesday and put her on leave with pay. Dugger posted a letter on the school’s website Monday saying the district was cooperating with investigators.
“As the alleged acts occurred off campus, once Kennedale ISD personnel were put on notice, immediate action was taken,” the letter says.
According to an Arlington arrest warrant affidavit, the police investigation began Wednesday after a 19-year-old student told investigators about his sexual relationship with Colleps, who was his English teacher. The students are not being named because The Dallas Morning News does not typically name victims in sex crimes cases.
The student told police the relationship began with sexually explicit text messages and photos that they sent to each other for about a week in late April. The student is a football player, according to the school’s website.
On April 26, they texted each other about having a sexual rendezvous at her home that night, police said. About 10 p.m., he arrived at her home in the 5500 block of Bright Star Trail, where they had sex, police records state. He left her home about 6 a.m.
About an hour and a half later, he received a text message from Colleps stating that it had been fun, police said. Later that day, she invited him back to her house, where they again had sex, records state.
The student also told police that he and four other male Kennedale students had sex with Colleps during the same encounter, records show.
Police analyzed the student’s phone and found video footage of him and Colleps having sex, police records state. Police interviewed a second student who identified himself as being present during the time the video footage was taken. Police also found sexually explicit text messages between Colleps and the 19-year-old student, records state.
