NY Teacher Admits Guilt in Sex Case
[Previous 4/20/11 post]
(Corning, New York) A 40-year-old teacher at East High School, Teri K. Decker, has admitted to engaging in sexual contact with a 16-year-old male student.

Decker appeared in Corning City Court today and pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child.

Investigators say Decker was inappropriately involved with a 16 year old male student at East High School.

They say on February 14, Decker pulled the student into a classroom, where they kissed and groped each other.

Decker also admitted to engaging in sexual conversations with the boy by text message over a month-long period and encouraging him to keep the relationship a secret from his mother after the relationship became public knowledge.

The text messages were numbered in the thousands, many of them sexually explicit.

Sentencing has been scheduled for July 26.
