Female Teacher Accused of Sending Naked Photos, Naughty Text Messages to Boy, 14 - Beth Ann Chester, Moon High School

A new year, but the same old story: a female teacher accused of sexing up some poor underage high school boy. This time near Pittsburgh at Moon High School. (At right, Beth Ann Chester's mug shot.) Here's more from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

A former Moon Area High School gym teacher and volleyball coach was arrested and charged with sending nude photos of herself and suggestive text messages to a 14-year-old male student, Moon police said.
Beth Ann Chester, 26, of Scott was arrested Friday and charged with nine criminal counts, including three counts of child sexual abuse, two counts of unlawful contact with a minor and one count each of endangering the welfare of a child and criminal solicitation, according to Moon police and court records. Police said they plan to file an additional charge of statutory sexual assault against Chester.
The boy told police he thought he was in love with Chester and the only physical contact involved a hug just before holiday break, according to the police affidavit filed to support the criminal charges.
Police said they searched Chester's home and her cell phone records. The student also allowed police to see the texts sent to his cell phone, according to the affidavit. They found three photos Chester allegedly sent of herself -- two of them of her genitals -- to the student, as well as a nude photo the boy allegedly sent of himself to Chester. The ex-teacher is accused of commenting in sexual terms in text messages about the student's body, the affidavit said.
The student's parents originally found the alleged messages, the affidavit said. The student's parents called Chester and met her Dec. 26 at the Starbucks in Robinson Town Centre, the complaint said. A day later, she quit her job.
The boy told police that Chester first sent him a text message in late October, and that a relationship developed as Chester wrote him excuses to be out of class and with her, the affidavit said. She allegedly told the student that her husband had been abusive toward her.

Gun Toting Beauty Queen Arrested for Kidnapping, Biting Ex-Boyfriend - Kumari Fulbright

Talk about hard core! Kumari Fulbright, 25, a former Miss Arizona, law student and an intern for a judge, allegedly thought that a former boyfriend of hers stole some jewelry from her. According to cops, she persuaded a current boyfriend and some other men to help her kidnap and torture the guy. At right is her picture from a new guns and gals calendar and her sobbing mug shot. Here's more from ABC News:

Fulbright, a 25-year-old former Miss Arizona contestant, had reportedly served as a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Raner Collins while she attended the University of Arizona's law school.

She is listed as a member of the editorial board of the campus law journal, according to the Arizona Daily Star.

Fulbright has been indicted on five felony charges, including armed robbery, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Fulbright was released from jail after posting a $50,000 bond.

Pacheco laid out a timetable of events that began Dec. 8 when Fulbright asked a former boyfriend to come to her Tucson apartment. Fulbright said she was going to take a shower, Pacheco said, when the Ergonis brothers entered the residence armed with handguns. Robert Ergonis was identified by police as another former boyfriend of Fulbright's.

"With guns, they tell him get down on the floor," Pacheco said. "They begin to accuse this victim of stealing some jewelry, according to Fulbright. She comes out of the shower and she begins to participate in this whole incident."

The Ergonises then placed the victim in a sport utility vehicle and transported him to another home in Tucson, where a third man, 40-year-old Larry Bruce Hammond, allegedly became involved.

"There were some tools. The victim sees these tools and he thinks they're going to use them on him," Pacheco said. "He honestly thinks he is going to get killed."

The victim told investigators the three men involved then left the apartment, Pacheco said, instructing Fulbright to "watch" the victim with a handgun. By this point, the victim had freed one of his hands and when she approached, he managed to grab the gun from her hand. The weapon reportedly discharged.

"They began to fight over the gun and the victim managed to get out of this apartment," Pacheco said, adding that a neighbor called police after hearing screams as the man ran from the house.
