    NBC DFW: Former Haltom High Teacher Accused of Sex With Students (Jan 18 2013)

    According to a September 2011 search warrant, parents of a Haltom High graduate and former student of Tonya Flink reported to police that their son was living with her at her apartment. They told police that they believed the relationship began while their son was a senior in high school. In the same month, investigators learned of other relationships, according to the warrant.

    According to the report from police, the former student in question admitted that the relationship began when he would stay after school and Flink would help him with his grades. Flirting led to Flink "pushing herself onto him," according to police. Flink would go on to tell the student that "she loved him," that she "liked young Hispanic kids like him" and that their eventual sexual relationship involved "everything you could imagine," police said in the warrant.

    Star Telegram: Affidavit details sex case against former Haltom High teacher (Jan 17 2013)

    The affidavit gave this account on the case:

    [Tonya] Flink, a mother of three, began working as the computer teacher at Haltom High in August 2007. She began having relationships with male students sometime before December 2010, and continued with at least one of them for several months.

    Phone records for one student indicate that he and Flink telephoned each other 850 times between December 2010 and May 2011. The student told investigators that their relationship started with casual flirting as he stayed after school, with Flink promising to help him with his grades. The student said that Flink was "pushing herself on him" and the two exchanged hundreds of text messages. He said she bought him clothes and other gifts. She even told him that she loved him. On numerous occasions, Flink would just show up at his house and knock on the back door.

    At some point in 2011 Flink got divorced. At the time, of her three children, one was in college, one in high school and one was 5. The parents of the student contacted Haltom City police in September 2011 after their son told them he was living with Flink and that he had been dating her since he was a senior. The student, who had since graduated, told investigators in September 2011 that he regretted being involved with the teacher and that it had messed up his life.

    Through their investigation, Haltom City detectives determined that Flink had sexual relationships with three other students. Two of those students refused to cooperate with authorities.

    Flink resigned from Haltom High in August 2011 because of the pending investigation, according to the affidavit. But in September 2011, Flink had landed a job as health science terminology teacher at Carter Riverside High School in the Fort Worth school district. She was suspended from that job when parents from Haltom High contacted school officials.

    A former Haltom High School computer technology teacher was sentenced Monday to four years of probation for having sex and doing “everything you could imagine” with students. One of the students married the 40-year-old instructor, a prosecutor said Monday. In a plea agreement reached with prosecutors in Criminal District Court No. 213, Tonya Flink, 40, of Hurst pleaded guilty to two counts of improper relationship between an educator and a student. The counts involved two students. In exchange, Flink was sentenced to probation with deferred adjudication on each case.

    “This was unusual case in that one victim married the defendant and was not cooperative,” Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Robert Foran said Monday in an email. “The second victim is in agreement with the outcome. After taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances of both cases, we felt this was an appropriate resolution.”
