Jaime Katheryn Steen, 26, a former agriculture teacher at Fort Stockton High School in Fort Stockton, Texas has been charged with selling, distributing or displaying harmful material to a minor.

It is alleged that Steen sent “obscene” text messages to male students at the school including images of a nude woman having sex with a skeleton, a man displaying his genitals as part of a tattoo and two oversized nude women showing their backsides. Allegedly the images say Happy Halloween and were sent to all boys between 15 and 16 years old.

Steen came to the attention of school officials and authorities when rumors surfaced in September that Steen had taken five boys on an unauthorized school trip out in the country and that she bought a six-pack of alcoholic beverages for the students, which they drank.

It was during the course of the investigation into the alleged incident with alcohol that the allegations of the obscene text messages surfaced.

It is alleged that Steen admitted to investigators that she sent the text messages.

Steen upon being charged as a result of the allegations of sending obscene text messages to students turned herself in to authorities and was subsequently released from jail on $4,000 bond.

The investigation regarding the allegations of providing alcohol to minors has reportedly been turned over to the District Attorney’s office.

Reportedly Steen resigned from the school system and moved from Fort Stockton.

Kaleb Tierce, 26, a former English teacher and coach at Jim Ned High School, in Tuscola, Texas has been indicted by a Taylor County grand jury on one count of an improper relationship between an educator and a student and two counts of attempted improper relationship between an educator and student.

Tierce turned himself in to authorities this afternoon and was subsequently released on bond of $10,000 per-count.

Tierce taught pre-Advanced Placement English and was an assistant football coach until he was placed on paid administrative leave in October 2007 when the parents of a ninth-grader filed a complaint with the sheriff’s office against Tierce.

Tierce reportedly assigned the Cormac McCarthy book “Child of God” to the girl for a book report. The book has graphic depictions of sex and violence which apparently offended the girl’s parents, James and Sonja Rhodes. Reportedly the Rhodes first complained to the school and then to the Sheriff. This in spite of the book being on the “approved list” of the school.

School district officials did not renew Tierce’s contract for the 2008-2009 school year.

Webmaster’s notes: Typically we only link to information pertaining to the criminal cases we cover. However in this instance it is the opinion of the webmaster of this site that the prior history of the efforts of some in the tiny community of Tuscola, Texas to figuratively crucify Kaleb Tierce is relevant to the current criminal case. Therefore we are including links to news reports from October and November, 2007 detailing the events that occurred since those events may figure into and/or motive the current criminal charges against Kalbe Tierce.
