A former Texas high school English teacher and mother of three is on trial, accused of having sex with five male students. The evidence against Brittni Colleps, 28, includes cell phone video that allegedly shows group sex between her and four students at her home. Prosecutors say it happened while her children and husband, who is an Army specialist stationed out-of-state, were away. The graphic video was shown to the jury this week. “She [Colleps] said that she craved, that I had something that she wanted,” one of the students involved testified.
Police say the alleged incident took place at her Arlington, Texas home in April and May of 2011, according to ABC News affiliate WFAA. Since all of the students were 18 at the time of the alleged incident, Colleps is not facing statutory rape charges. Instead, she has been hit with five counts of having an improper relationship with a student.
One student told WFAA that one of the teenage boys was bragging about the alleged incident and another student put the claim in her diary. A teacher at the school found the diary in a classroom and that’s when the school notified police. Some of the students, who were attending Kennendale High School, took the stand on Tuesday but were not identified because of their ages and the nature of the crime, according to WFAA. One of those students said his relationship began with an innocent text message. “Hey… It’s Coach Colleps. Do you know what time the baseball game starts?” Soon after that the student says that he and Colleps were exchanging almost 100 texts a day. The prosecutor says that the relationship progressed into explicit text messages and then an agreement to meet for sex. One of the young men she is accused of sleeping with has publicly stated that she didn’t commit a crime.
Colleps’ husband, Christopher, is sticking by his wife despite the accusations. “If you know Brittni, you know she’s an empathetic loving, loyal person. Brittni is a loving mother and continuously puts the needs of our children above her own,” Christopher Colleps said before the trial began.Brittni Colleps was suspended by the school district and her contract was not renewed this year, so she is out of work during the trial. “She’s terrified … she has no idea whether she is going to prison next week or whether she will be home,” her attorney said. If Colleps is convicted, she could spend 20 years in prison.

Oh my God! Please people should let this woman be. She actual was wrong but it is clear she was sex-starved. Her husband was away. If her husband don't condemn her why should any other crazy person do? I feel for this woman!

This lady is too young to waste her future in jail. She may have acted wrongly but against her husband not the law since she slept with adults. Afterall , most of us in one time or another have indulged in a worse indecent sex than she has. Be the first to caste a stone if all your sex activities have been holier...

What a thoughtless behavior? She could have looked for another adult if she was unable to wait for her husband. Well now she will forever be known as the women who had an orgy with her students. Not a good reputation.

She is a harlot.. She should be a prostitute instead of being a teacher. If she could handle four young energetic boys at the same time then that should tell us something... Possibly most men won’t be able to handle her not with that kind of drive she possessed. Obviously the husband cannot make it... . He has become the ....Caretaker.... Watchman... Beleja Yan.... I am so sorry for him.

Hahaha! She's a prostitute. Period. Even if she was "sex-starved" what's she doing with 4 young boys in one bed. She knew what she was doing. If it was a must to have sex she coulda at least get one guy that's in her age group (28). I feel sorry for her husband who was saving the nation and was treated like crap.

She is still at her prime age and has children too. Therefore, her purpose in life and that of her children should not be jeopardized because of a misdemeanour all of us could be a victim of. Besides, those guys at 18, i bet you, are more corrupt than what they did with the poor teacher.
