What's with all the horny teachers lately?

Rape is kind of a harsh term to use when obviously the kid was in to it. 28 times in a week? Wow.

Del. Teacher Charged With Raping Student



DOVER, Del. (AP) - An elementary school teacher accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student has been arrested and charged with multiple counts of rape, authorities said.

Rachel Holt, 34, allegedly had sex with the boy 28 times during the last week of March, and on at least one occasion allowed the boy's 12-year-old friend to watch. She also plied the two youngsters with alcohol, according to New Castle County Police.

Holt, a science teacher at Claymont Elementary School, was arrested early Tuesday and charged with 28 counts of first-degree rape, two counts of providing alcohol to a minor, and one count of unlawfully dealing with a child.

She was being held at the Baylor Women's Correctional Institute under $560,450 cash bail.

County police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said the rape charges stem from the age of the alleged victim, who was one of Holt's students, and the fact that she was in a position of trust and authority.

Holt has worked for the past three years at Claymont Elementary, according to Brandywine School District officials. She transferred to Claymont after working at Brandywine's Mount Pleasant Elementary School, said Ellen Marie Cooper, staff attorney for the district.

Acting county police chief Lt. Col. Scott McLaren said the boy's father contacted authorities after becoming suspicious that his son was having an inappropriate relationship with his teacher. Among other things, the father indicated that his son had lied to him about staying at a relative's home when he actually had spent the night at Holt's condominium.

Authorities said Holt also took the boy out for dinner and allowed him to drive her vehicle.

Holt was questioned by investigators late Monday night and waived her right to have an attorney present, Navarro said. Detectives executed a search warrant at her residence and recovered several items of evidence.
