    Student-teacher sex in Alabama: Hearing today on law's constitutionality

    The law's constitutionality is being disputed by a former Decatur High School teacher who faces two felony charges in connection with accusations she had sexual relationships with two male students.

Witt was a history, psychology and social studies teacher, who also coached girls' golf and junior varsity cheer. Witt's attorneys, Robert Tuten and Nick Heatherly, argue teachers' 14th Amendment equal protection rights are being ...

    Sex-with-student law too broad, attorney argues

    A state law that makes it a crime for a school employee to have sex with a student is so broad that it could apply to a janitor in one school system who has sex with a student who attends a different system, an attorney for a Decatur teacher charged with the crime said Tuesday in Morgan County Circuit Court. Morgan County Circuit Court Judge Glenn Thompson heard Robert Tuten, who is representing Decatur High School teacher Carrie Witt, lay out why the state law should be ruled unconstitutional during a 20-minute hearing. “The statute is extremely overbroad to the ...

    Alabama Judge Considers Overturning Law Banning Teacher-Student Sex

    An Alabama is considering overturning a law banning sex between teachers and students who are 16- to 19-years-old. The judge is hearing a case on whether the law, which mandates school employees who have sex with a student younger than 19 become a registered sex offender and serve up to 20 years in prison, is unconstitutional, reports AL.com. The judge remarked at one point that he has “a lot of reading to do” in reviewing written arguments before ruling on the law. Decatur High School teacher and coach Carrie Cabri Witt has raised a challenge against the law. She was ...

    Alabama Judge says teacher-student sex law is unconstitutional

    An Alabama judge ruled that a state law that criminalizes high school teachers having sex with students is unconstitutional and dismissed charges in two cases. In Alabama, the age of consent is 16. The state law prohibits teachers from having sex with students under the age of 19. But Morgan County Circuit Judge Glenn Thompson ruled that “school employee engaging in a sex act or deviant sexual intercourse with a student” charges against former high school teacher Carrie Witt and former high school aide David Solomon should be dismissed because the law is too broad and violates their 14th amendment ...

    Local schools boards can fire teachers for having sex with students

    The Students First Act (SFA) has withstood a challenge to the authority of school boards to promptly discipline employees for violating board policies. In Carrie Cabro Witt v. Decatur City Board of Education, a case involving a teacher charged with having sex with a student, the Alabama Supreme Court today ruled unanimously that the school board could proceed with a termination hearing. The employee contended the board could not proceed with her disciplinary hearing because of her constitutional right against self-incrimination since criminal charges stemming from the same conduct were pending. Specifically, the court ruled that the right against self-incrimination ...



    Passed in 2011, the Students First Act protects employees’ testimony during a disciplinary proceeding from being used against them in a criminal proceeding. The law paved the way for school boards to discipline employees for inappropriate behavior under board policies while protecting the employee’s constitutional rights in the criminal proceeding, thus eliminating the costly requirement for school boards to keep employees on paid leave throughout the duration of a criminal case, which could take years.


    “Today’s ruling is a victory for Alabama’s local school boards,” said Sally Smith, J.D., executive director of the Alabama Association of School Boards. “The court has affirmed the right of a school board to move forward with disciplinary proceedings when criminal charges against an employee are pending or threatened. This was a core reason for the Students First Act that has saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries and benefits being paid to employees waiting for the resolution of criminal cases.”

    Disciplinary hearing set for teacher on sex charge; court reinstates criminal charges against Witt

    After intervention by two different appellate courts, a teacher charged more than two years ago with having sex with students faces possible termination from Decatur City Schools and possible trial on criminal charges that had previously been dismissed. Two different rulings by Morgan County Circuit Judge Glenn Thompson pertaining to 45-year-old DCS teacher Carrie Witt, one in a criminal case and the other in a civil case, were reversed by appellate courts. In a decision posted Monday, the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reversed Thompson’s Aug. 10 ruling that dismissed two felony counts that she had sex with students under ...


    The ruling by the Criminal Court of Appeals also reversed a decision by Thompson dismissing sex-with-student charges against David Solomon, 28, who was a contract teacher at Falkville High School. He was fired by the company he worked for after his March 29, 2016, arrest. The appellate court remanded both cases to the Morgan County Circuit Court. Thompson last week, abiding by a June 22 order of the state Supreme Court, lifted his injunction that had prevented DCS from initiating disciplinary proceedings against Witt. She has been on administrative leave with full pay and benefits since the charges were filed. ...

    Teachers having sex with students: Breaking down the law

    WAAY 31 did some digging into the state law that makes it illegal for teachers to have sex with students. This comes on the heels of another teacher, this time a substitute in Florence [Kayla Safford], being charged with having sex with a student. We learned Alabama's law is relatively unique compared to others across the country. Mary Pat Riley is a retired elementary school teacher. "Every time I here one of these stories I'm eternally saddened," said Riley. Whether its a male, or female, teacher Riley comes back to one point: It's an abuse of power from someone students ...
