Andee Lantz, 26, of Oklahoma, is charged with having sex two or three times with a 16-year-old student. Lantz served as a special education teacher at Carnegie High School until her resignation in November. During a homecoming game, Lantz reportedly said she was riding with the victim in his car when he bent in to kiss her and 'it came from there'
A 26-year-old teacher took a 16-year-old child to her residence and there, police say, raped him. Two or three times, Andee Lantz had sex with her supposed victim and even sent him a nude picture of herself, it is said. Lantz, a former Carnegie High School teacher in Caddo County, Oklahoma, was accused of rape earlier this month and last Wednesday went on trial.
She is said to have been questioned in mid-November about allegations about an intimate relationship with the boy.
Both Lantz and the teenager are said to have refuted the charges originally. But Lantz later started to open up and accepted that after riding around in a vehicle with him after a homecoming game, she had groomed the boy, it is alleged.
It is said that she told police that the boy "leaned in and kissed her and it went from there." Lantz took the teenage boy back home for the first of many assaults that she is now suspected of inflicting on him.
In Oklahoma, the age of consent is 16, but people in a position of control will also be accused of raping minors who are in their custody past that age.
NewsChannel9 told Susan Clark, whose child attends Carnegie High School, how speculation had spiraled into a felony charge.
She said: ‘One of the students had been circulating a nude picture of her.
‘In the beginning I didn’t know if it was a rumor, I called a couple other moms and they said it was true,
‘It makes me sick to my stomach. A teacher should not be hanging out with a high school student, period.
‘I don’t think this type of behavior should be tolerated, whether from a male or female teacher.’
