    Texas teacher charged with improper relationship with student

    The investigation began after the teacher admitted a naked photo of herself might be circulating among the students. According to Harris County prosecutors, Ashley Elizabeth Zehnder, 24, approached the assistant principal at Pasadena High claiming that students might have gotten access to a nude photo off of her old cell phone.

    The assistant principal investigated, and found one student who said he no longer had the picture, but knew a student who did. That next student, a 17-year-old boy, admitted he had the picture because Zehnder sent it to him and said that they had been having sex at her Houston apartment since May of this year. "He was able to describe her room, her apartment, the layout of it, exactly where it was," said assistant district attorney Nick Socias referring to the teacher's southeast Houston apartment.

    ...

    "She admitted to sending the nude photo to the student, knowing in fact that he was a student, and that they had sex," said Socias. "It's different," he said of the investigation that began because the teacher alerted school administration to start an investigation. "It's not how these cases normally start. There's a lot of questions on why she even brought it up to begin with."

    Teacher, 24, 'admitted to having sex with male cheerleader after being confronted with naked photo she had sent him'
    • Ashley Zehnder, a biology teacher and assistant cheer coach, 'had a months-long sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student on the cheer squad'
    • The relationship came to light after 'she sent him a naked photo on Snapchat and he sent it to other students at school'
    • After being confronted with the image, 'she admitted to the relationship'
    Zehnder met the 17-year-old student, who was a member of the cheer squad, while she worked as assistant cheer coach, according to court documents. The investigation began when Zehnder went to school officials and complained about a naked picture that was being swapped among students, KTRK reported. Officials at Pasadena Independent School District began investigating on October 1 and when staff asked the boy how he got the image, he admitted she had sent it to him through Snapchat. He also admitted to staff that they had been in a sexual relationship since May 2014, KHOU reported. Prosecutors say Zehnder, who has a boyfriend, had a sexual relationship with the student throughout the entire summer, KTRK reported.

    HS teacher accused of having sex with member of cheer squad

    Ashley Zehnder, 24, is a teacher and assistant coach to the cheer squad. Prosecutors say she had sex with a member of that cheer squad all summer long. The investigation began after the teacher herself went to school administration to complain about a naked picture that was making its rounds among the student body. Once the assistant principal began asking questions, the 17-year-old student confessed he got the picture from the teacher herself and that they had been in a sexual relationship.

    Cheerleader coach accused of having improper relations with student

    Zehnder, 24, began a sexual relationship with a male student in late May, at the end of the last school year, according to Harris County court documents. According to the student, Zehnder was the assistant cheer coach at the school and he was a member of the school's competition cheer squad. He told officers with the district's police department that the relationship began when he lost his cellphone and used the teacher's phone to locate his. He saved Zehnder's phone numbers and they began texting.


    According to court documents, Zehnder eventually sent him a nude photo via the social media app SnapChat. The student saved the picture on his phone and later distributed it to a handful of friends at the school. After an assistant principal, Candace Sirlin, learned about the photo, the district began an investigation, district officials said.

    No selfie respect: Texas teacher gets caught in teen relationship after nude selfie circulates around school

    A Texas teacher in search of selfie respect accidentally exposed herself to criminal charges. The high school teacher who doubles as a cheerleading coach was busted for having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old on her cheerleading squad after students at the school were found circulating a nude selfie of her on their cell phones, prosecutors allege. Ashley Zehnder, 24, who teaches biology at Pasadena High School outside Houston, was charged with having an improper relationship with a student on Monday in Harris County court, KHOU reported. "She admitted to sending the nude photo to the student, knowing in fact that he was a student, and that they had sex," assistant district attorney Nick Socias told KHOU.

    So sad. Her brand new fiancée was still back home in Ohio probably working hard all summer to save up for the ring he gave her in August. And all the while she was sleeping with her student in Texas. Lost her fiancée, career, reputation and possibly freedom because of this. Young rookie teachers fresh out of college teaching flirtatious (by nature) HS seniors. How many more of these cases can we tolerate? It's a recipe for disaster.

    Ashley Zehnder's attorney says "she's innocent." (despite the FACT that her client admitted to the crime)

    http://www.chron.com/houston/article/Attorney-Pasadena-HS-teacher-innocent-of-alleged-5837741.php

    According to Zehnder's attorney,

    "We believe she's innocent," attorney Nicole DeBorde said of her client....
    "No one has admitted to any crime at this point," DeBorde said. "We don't think any crime has been committed. They're saying (the alleged behavior) is inappropriate solely because of the teacher-student relationship."

    So it seems that the planned defense will be an attempt to prove the relationship was not "student-teacher" since Ashley already stupidly admitted to the sex.

    Some of these attorneys are almost as interesting as their clients. :)

    A Texas Teacher Allegedly Had Sex ‘All Summer Long’ With One Of Her Students

    Ashley Zehnder, 24, is a biology teacher and assistant cheerleading coach at Pasadena High School in Texas. Or at least she was, until she resigned on October 9th after she was accused of having an affair with a 17-year-old student. She got caught after initially telling school authorities that a naked picture of hers was being shared among students, which is true. Thing is, it looks like she’s the one who sent it ... Zehnder and the student, a member of her cheer squad, were allegedly together from May to August 2014, and they had “sex…all summer long.”

    Here's a recent Op-Ed piece that may be a bit satirical but does speak to the apparent rise in teacher sex abuses cases. The common denominator always seems to be social media and/or electronic communication. While I believe teacher misconduct has always been an issue throughout history, social media has now made the teacher/student "wall" much easier climb for either side. And conversely, social media and electronic communication have also helped to uncover cases which may have never been discovered in the past.
