Police started investigating after reports reached their desk about a student bragging about his sexual encounters with the teachers. The sheriff’s office said the English teachers had sex with the student on September 12 at the house of Respess, just after a football game.

Investigators said the three were together at the teacher's house until the early morning hours.

Meanwhile, the student who is now 17, told authorities that the sexual encounter was consensual. Former students of the school said the three still met several times after that to engage in sexual activities. The students also added that their encounters were even documented on video.

Further investigations are now being conducted. Officials said images of the three along with their mobile phones are being reviewed.

Kenner Police Chief Michael Glaser said everyone should be in outrage with the news especially that educators should be responsible for children’s safety.

Public information director for St. Charles Parish public schools Stevie Crovetto said the two had already been suspended without pay.

The school’s website showed information about Dufresne and Respess. According to the information, Dufresne has been teaching English at the school for 10 years. She is married with three children and was the boy’s English teacher for this academic year.

Meanwhile, the website information said Respess finished her degree in 2008 at Destrehan and taught English at the school for two years. She was the boy’s English teacher last year.

The legal representative of Respess said his client maintains her innocence over the allegations.
