Female Teacher, 39, Accused of Sex With Boy, 17 - Kelly Bartz, Rocky Mount High School

School's out for summer, but that doesn't keep the cops from investigating all the alleged teacher/student hook-ups during the past academic year. In fact, the police are probably glad to have the extra time to work on the backlog of complaints. This time we have a rather attractive 39-year-old, Kelly Bartz, an English teacher at Rocky Mount High School. She's been arrested on charges of sexual activity with a student by a teacher. (Could you have "sexual activity with a student by another student?) Most interesting part of the story appears to be that the "victim" in question here reportedly told his mother back on December of 2007 that he was dating a teacher but she brushed it off as a joke. Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, that makes sense to everyone, doesn't it? At right, Kelly Bartz' mug shot picture.
Here's more on the story from The Rocky Mountain Telegram:

The mother of the Rocky Mount High student said she believes the relationship between Bartz and her son began early in the school year when her son was still 17. The mother said her son mentioned around December that he was seeing a teacher, but she brushed it off as a joke. Then she began to notice changes in her son's grades and sports, she said.
"I feel that because of (Bartz's) actions it has caused him to fall back, and he didn't pass his grades," the mother said, adding she didn't know if her son would enroll at Rocky Mount High during the upcoming school year. "This has caused a tremendous amount of stress on the whole entire family, and I feel like his downfall is because of this whole situation."
The mother said she approached Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services Tommy Finch about the situation in May or June. The central office told her they would take action after Bartz was charged, the mother said.
