    The Stamford High School teacher accused of threatening to fail an 18-year-old student if he did not have sex with her and of providing him and a friend with marijuana was unable to make her scheduled arraignment Thursday at state Superior Court in Stamford because she remains in a Danbury psychiatric hospital.

    Principal, Assistant Won't Return To Stamford High After Teacher Sex Case

    Embattled Stamford High Principal Donna Valentine and assistant principal Roth Nordin will not be returning to their posts at the school, Superintendent Winifred Hamilton announced at a press conference Monday. Reading from a statement, Hamilton was emphatic in her assertion that the two would not be returning to Stamford High School.

    "The answer is NO!," as she read from a text with a capitalized no and exclamation mark added. "Under the collective bargaining agreement, as Superintendent, I have the right to involuntarily transfer administrators. It is in the best interest of the community for them not to return to Stamford High."

    Valentine and Nordin were arrested in October and charged with one misdemeanor count of failing to report to the state Department of Children and Families an allegation that Stamford High School English teacher Danielle Watkins had carried on a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old male student at the school.

    Ex-Stamford teacher embroiled in sex scandal arrested for allegedly threatening death upon acccuser

    One month after accepting a plea deal on charges stemming from a sexual relationship she had with a student, a former Stamford High School teacher was arrested again Friday for allegedly confronting her accuser.


    Danielle Watkins, 32, was arrested at her home in Norwalk on charges including criminal violation of a protective order. Sources close to the investigation say while in a Dunkin' Donuts in Stamford, Watkins encountered a now 17-year-old male that she had been accused of providing with marijuana. Instead of ignoring the teen, she berated him for ruining her career and pledged that she "will not rest until you and (the teen with whom she was convicted of having sex) are dead," according to attorney Devin Janosov, who represents the teenage victims in the case. The teen made a sworn written statement to police about the encounter, Janosov said.

    Teacher from Norwalk Accused of Threatening Sexual Assault Victim

    The former Stamford High School teacher who is facing charges she sexually assaulted a student during a school-year long affair was arrested again on Friday on charges she threatened the student. Danielle Watkins’ case involving sexual assault and marijuana possession charges was pending in court, awaiting her sentencing to a minimum of four months in jail — the result of a plea deal reached last month. It’s not immediately known what impact this arrest will have on the case involving the 32-year-old teacher who lives in Norwalk. The case precipitated charges against two Stamford High School administrators with failing to notify police of child endangerment. The administrators, who have been on unpaid leave since their arrests last fall, are awaiting reassignment.

    Former Teacher Accused of Sex With Student Rearrested

    The former Stamford, Connecticut, teacher accused of having a months-long sexual relationship with one of her students is facing new charges after allegedly threatening another teen. Police said Danielle Watkins, 32, confronted the teen on Friday while he was waiting for an order at a local coffee shop.

    According to police, Watkins had given him marijuana while he was in her English class at Stamford High School. She was also involved in a nine-month sexual relationship with another one of her students. "[You and your friend] have taken everything from my: my family, my kids, my job," Watkins allegedly told the teen, according to the victim's attorney. "I will not rest until you are both dead."

    The teen, who was afraid for his safety after Watkins approached him Friday, told his mother what had happened and the two went straight to the police department, authorities said. Surveillance video recorded at the coffee shop corroborated the teen's account, according to police.

    Attorney Devin Janosov said Watkins also blocked her caller ID and called the other student to make a similar threat, which "scared the hell out of him."
