(10/28/08 – Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)
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.
