Teacher Accused of Orgy with Students

(Tampa, Florida) A 45-year-old Honors English teacher at Freedom High School, Mary Jo Spack, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sexual activity involving a group of high school boys in what has been described as an orgy situation.

She was not their teacher, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said.

On March 14, she met the students and took them to a liquor store, a police release states. Then she drove them to a Howard Johnson Motel on Fowler Avenue, where they drank alcohol together.

"Those kids were texting some friends that they were going to have a party at this motel," McElroy said.

Three other students from the school joined them in the motel room, according to the release.

Spack has been charged with unlawful sex with a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

It's odd that Spack would allow this type incident to occur. Logically, she should be very sensitive to any allegations of inappropriate behavior since the entire Tampa-St.Pete area has seen its share of high-profile teacher-student sex stories.

Debra Lafave immediately comes to mind and, just last week, Hillsborough County middle school teacher Stephanie Ragusa was arrested for mixing it up with a boy. Mary Jo Spack had to know all this when she was driving the boys to the motel. I suspect that she wanted to get caught.
