[Previous 8/2/12 post]
(Eufaula, Oklahoma) Yesterday, 40-year-old Michelle Diane McCutchan was found guilty of multiple criminal sex charges including rape and sodomy stemming from relationships with three teenage boys.

Authorities have alleged for more than a year McCutchan, a former fifth-grade teacher in the Checotah school system, engaged in a sexual relationship with three boys, two of whom were students at Checotah High School. Some of the acts involved a teenage girl, prosecutors said.

McCutchan had been facing 28 felony counts in the latest amended information filed July 2, but 19 were dismissed Wednesday, District 25 District Attorney Rob Barris said.

Those 19 counts were dismissed to ensure the privacy of the teenagers was protected, Barris said.

Sentencing has been scheduled for September 5.

Oklahoma Teacher Accused of Sex with Boy
[Previous 5/18/11 post]
(Eufaula, Oklahoma) A 38-year-old teacher at Marshall Elementary School in Checotah, Michelle McCutchan, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 16-year-old boy. She faces charges of second-degree rape and one count of sodomy.

"She's a veteran of the school system," Tonya French, McIntosh County Sherriff's Office investigator, said. "What I've heard across the board is they didn't see it coming."[…]

French said the five alleged acts between McCutchan and the teen took place between January and February 2011 at the teacher's home and the teen's home.

French says McCutchan sent nude pictures of herself to the teen's cell phone.

McCutchan was booked into custody and released on $5,000 bond.
