Teacher of the Year Accused of Sex with Male Student

(Snellville, Georgia) A 29-year-old English teacher, cheerleading coach and elected Teacher of the Year at Shiloh High School, Keenon Aampay Hall, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 17-year-old male student.

An investigative file shows the student, who is a graduating senior and football player, claims Hall gave him gifts and pressured him to get her pregnant.

When he declined, the student's family says Hall gave him a failing grade, prompting him to report the relationship to officials.

"The allegation of the inappropriate behavior came to light because the teacher decreased the student's grade," Gwinnett schools spokeswoman Sloan Roach told AJC.

Hall resigned her teaching position.

[Add.] (Allegheny County, Pennsylvania) Here's another Teacher of the Year in sex crime trouble.

A 58-year-old chemistry teacher at Madison (Ohio) High School, Robert Fickenscher, pleaded guilty to attempted unlawful contact with a minor and criminal use of a computer stemming from propositioning an undercover agent he thought was a 13-year-old girl on the Internet.

Authorities say Fickenscher sent sexually explicit webcam videos, and tried to entice the girl to meet at a motel near her home, promising to give her wine coolers if she had sex with him.

Investigators say some of the videos showed Fickenscher wearing womens underwear and performing a striptease for the child.

"It's just ridiculous how a 57-year old man is trying to hook up with a 13-year old, like find someone your own age, and you're married, that's just wrong," said former Madison High School student Nicole Bertone. "I never had him, but alot of my classmates loved him."

"Obviously we don't support that type of behavior, nor did anyone here ever dream that he would have done something like that...I think we're truly fortunate that none of our children, upon our investigation, were involved in this," said Madison Schools superintendent Dr. Roger Goudy.

Dr. Goudy said Fickenscher had a clean record and no complaints against him. He was even named Teacher of the Year by the local Walmart two years ago for a rocketry program he conducted.

Sentencing is scheduled for July 27.
