Teacher/Principal's Wife Accused of Sex with Student

(Brighton, Colorado) Boy! This has to be embarrassing. A 29-year-old social studies teacher and cheerleading coach at Brighton Charter High School, Carrie McCandless, has been accused of having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student. To complicate the situation, Carrie McCandless is married to the school's principal, Chris McCandless.

The sexual relationship is alleged to have occurred during a school camping trip in October. Police are recommending that felony charges be filed in the case.

Just an observation, I'm fairly certain that one 17-year-old is walking tall on campus this week. A teacher, the cheerleading coach and the principal's wife were all bagged on one camping trip. That's a trifecta. Woo-hoo!
