Teacher Accused of Attempted Witness Tampering - Updated
[Previous 6/12/10 post]
(Tucson, Arizona) Cheerleading coach and English teacher Christie Elliot (aka Elliott) was released from detention with the condition that she not communicate with her alleged victim.

Unfortunately, she seems to have ignored the condition and was arrested.

Officers say 25-year-old Christie Elliott was taken into custody Thursday and booked into the Pima County Jail on one count of influencing a witness.

Police say Elliott allegedly tried to communicate with the 15-year-old victim via a third party, which is a violation of the conditions of her jail release. They say Elliott allegedly was trying to offer the teenager money in exchange for changing his testimony against her in an upcoming hearing.

I'd suggest that attempting to influence a witness would seem to be at least a partial admission of guilt.

Arizona Teacher Booked on Sex Charges
[Previous 5/18/10 post]
(Tucson, Arizona) A 25-year-old English teacher and cheerleading coach at Empire High School, Christie Elliot, was arrested yesterday for allegedly engaging in sex with a 15-year-old male student.

Elliot has been charged with one count each of luring a minor for sexual exploitation and sexual conduct with a minor.

Police began investigating April 19 at the behest of the Vail School District after a parent told the Empire High principal that Elliot had been exchanging inappropriate text messages with his son via his iPod Touch. Some of the messages referred to kissing and the "need to be more careful," according to court documents filed by police.

During the district's initial investigation, laptop computers issued by the school to staffers and students were confiscated from Elliot and the student, court documents state. Elliot's computer was found to contain topless pictures of the teacher. It is undetermined whether she sent those photos to students, according to court documents.

Elliot was booked into custody at the Pima County Jail.

Interestingly, she had topless pictures of herself on her school computer. Heh. I don't have any topless pictures of myself on my computer and have no idea why someone would do that. Maybe she liked to look at herself? Yeah, that's probably it.
