(06/20/08 - Initial BBT Report)

Julie Pritchett, 34, a former special education teacher at Clay-Chalkville Middle School in Trussville, Alabama has been arrested and charged with two counts of second-degree sodomy and one count of second-degree sexual abuse in a case alleging two male students who are under the age of consent as victims.

Police allege that Pritchett was sexually involved with at least eight male high school students ages 15 to 19 between February and April of this year. Investigators say she is charged with crimes against only two boys who were under the age of consent because the other boys are of consenting age or unwilling to cooperate with authorities.

Investigators say there may be even more victims they have not yet identified.

Reportedly Pritchett came to the attention of authorities May 2 when a parent filed a complaint with the sheriff’s office claiming his son was sexually abused by one of the school’s teachers.

Prichett was placed on administrative leave at the time of the initial allegation and subsequently resigned from the school shortly thereafter.

Authorities say that Pritchett started a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old former student and that relationship led to sex acts with his friends.

In addition to being a special education teacher at the middle school Pritchett was also reportedly sponsor of the Diamond Dolls and the Fellowship of Christian at the high school.

Following her arrest and booking Pritchett was reportedly being held on $66,000 bond.

Julie Pritchett has been released on $66,000 bond.

Reportedly some of the alleged sex acts between Pritchett and the victims took place at the school and some took place at the boys’ homes.

According to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office press release:

When the news media reported that a teacher was under investigation, Julie Pritchett changed her phone number, shut down her my-space account, and resigned from her teaching position where she was a tenure teacher.

Of Pritchett, Sheriff Mike Hale was quoted in the press release as stating, “It is hard to believe someone placed in such a position of trust would violate it so blatantly as is the case here. She is
going to pay a dear price for some terribly poor decisions, and she should”.
