Kennedale High School teacher Brittni Nicole Colleps allegedly had sex with 5 students at her Arlington, Texas home

(CBS/AP) ARLINGTON, Texas - A Texas teacher is accused of having sex with five high school students at her home. And once again, it seems "sexting" blew everyone's cover.

Kennedale High School teacher Brittni Nicole Colleps has been charged with five counts of having an inappropriate relationship between a student and teacher - a felony. The 27-year-old Arlington woman was jailed on $125,000 bond after turning herself in Monday morning.

Arlington police say the students were 18 or older, but it's a criminal offense for teachers to have sex with a student - no matter their age.

Police say detectives learned that the teacher and students had exchanged text messages that included sexually explicit pictures.

The Kennedale school system's attorney, Mike Leasor, says Colleps was an English teacher who's now on administrative leave.

18 is 18. Let it be.; Reply to this comment

...equal rights, equal pay, equal punishment under the law.

But if the kids are over 18 then it's an ethics issue and should be handled as such.; Reply to this comment

It sounds so stupid to me. These days, when a teacher sleeps with a student, especially if he's under 16 y.o., she's asking for trouble. The first thing he's going to do is tell his best friend(s) who, hold no allegience to her are going to tell everyone else, and within 24 hours, most of the school, students AND faculty are going to know it. Years ago, when I was about 16, we did not have access to cell fones and internet, and we had sense enough that if we had gotten 'lucky' with a desirable teacher, we KEPT OUR MOUTHS SHUT! ! I've been out of h.s. almost 50 years, and have never whispered a word to anyone, though, I believe there may have been other 'lucky' classmates, but we never blabbed.

The fact none of you 'blabbed', (until now, that is), is not only incredible, but indeed almost mythic!

In fact almost UNBELIEVABLE.....

Well at least she won't have to register as a sex offender if they all were of age. This is an ethics issue at best. An Were they current students? Gives a whole new meaning to homework and extra credit.
