A former Oregon teacher who turned herself in to police is accused of sex crimes against at least two students at the high school where she used to work, reported the Huffington Post.
Denise Keesee, 38, math and special education teacher at Sherwood High School in Sherwood, Oregon, has been charged with six counts of second-degree sex abuse for inappropriate relationships with multiple students allegedly dating back to 2006, according to local news outlet KGW.
Police allege that Keesee had sex with the boys at separate times during school hours. Some of the alleged encounters took place at school, and others occurred at the teacher's home and at the boys' homes.
According to detective Robert Rookhuyzen of the Washington County sheriff's office, none of the victims came forward willingly. “Some of the students she worked with were in a program for at-risk youth," Rookhuyzen told KGW.
"These were young people who had come from broken homes, not doing well in school. And she was able to become buddies with them."
Police think that more victims are out there. She was placed on administrative leave once the school district learned of the investigation, and she ultimately resigned.
