(Colorado Springs, Colorado) A female teacher at Wasson High School was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of having sexual relations with a 17-year-old male student on numerous occasions over a two-month period. The 33-year-old English teacher, Gwen Anne Cardozo, faces a charge of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust. Cardozo has resigned her position with Colorado Springs Schools.

Apparently, the illicit relationship was discovered by a student teacher who found love letters from the student to Cardozo, some sexually graphic. When questioned, Cardozo initially denied everything, but changed her story when confronted with evidence. She admitted to having sex with the boy three times a week for two months.
Cardozo was booked into the El Paso County Jail and released on $5,000 bail. The felony sexual assault charge carries penalties of a possible six years in prison and $500,000 in fines. Sadly, Gwen Cardozo has a husband and four children, all destined to be scarred by her criminal lapse in judgment.
