(Waskom, Texas) Shazam! With all the media hoopla about female teachers mixing it up with students, you would imagine school faculty members would exercise more caution. Not at Waskom High School. Two married female teachers, mother-of-two Daryl Phillips and Ashley Grisham, have been arrested on charges of improper relations with students.
Daryl Phillips - From KTBS.com:
A Waskom, Texas high school teacher's aide has been arrested for "inappropriate conduct" with a student. 31-year old Daryl Phillips, a woman, was taken into custody for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student. The charge is a second degree felony and could get Phillips up to 20-years in prison.Ashley Grisham - From KSLA.com:
A second educator from the Waskom Independent School District is now charged with having sex with a different 17-year-old student.Phillips and Grisham were taken into custody on Friday and reportedly confessed. Each was charged with one count of improper relations with a student, a second-degree felony. Bond was set at $25,000 each and, as of Saturday night, Phillips and Grisham had been released. Both have resigned their positions with the school system.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office arrested Waskom High School math teacher Ashley Grisham late Friday night. They say she confessed to about a dozen sexual encounters with a student since March while being separated from her husband.
Notably, unrestrained female teachers in the Waskom School System now number three in the last nine months. In September 2005, Waskom Middle School history teacher, Tara Crisp, was arrested and charged with sexual assault of a child. Authorities say Crisp had sex with a 14-year old student. Her trial is scheduled to begin on June 12th.
Meanwhile, the stories of the maverick East Texas schoolmarms will continue to develop. Stay tuned.
