Teacher Charged With Having Sex With Four Students

 LaShawn Simmons, a 41-year-old Math teacher at Beverly Hills Intermediate School, was charged Monday after she allegedly had sex with four students.

According to Police, an investigation was launched in December after a parent discovered inappropriate messages that had been exchanged between Simmons and their child over Facebook.

During the two-month long investigation that followed, detectives learned that Simmons had allegedly engaged in sex acts with four students.

Two of the alleged victims are now over the age of 18 while the remaining two are still minors. One of the alleged victims told detectives that he was 14 when the encounter(s) occurred. All of the alleged victims attend J. Frank Dobie High School in Houston.

Simmons, who worked at BHIS for 14 years, has resigned her position in lieu of termination. She reportedly agreed to turn herself in to Harris County Authorities on Tuesday.

She now faces charges of sexual assault of a child under the age of 17, two counts of engaging in improper relationship between educator and student, online solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography.
