Another Teacher Busted For Having Sex With Students

This seems to be reaching epidemic proportions. Hardly a week goes by that there isn't yet another teacher caught having a sexual relationship with students. The latest involves a 31-year old choir teacher at Noblesville High School. Michael Douce faces eights counts of child seduction, one count of burglary, one count of child exploitation and one count of disseminating information harmful to minors, as well as two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Douce is accused of having sex with two female students between the ages of 16 and 18. A parent became suspicious after she found a nude photo of Douce on her daughter's cell phone according to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the Indianapolis Star. Police found five nude images of Douce on the cell phone and multiple sexual text messages between him and the student. The student told investigators she had sex with Douce on dozens of occasions, including on school grounds. Douce allegedly provided alcohol and marijuana to her when she visited his home.

The second student had sent nude photos of herself to Douce and exchanged sexual text messages with him. The second student had sex with him at the school for the first time last May. One of the students told police Douce had come close to being caught when her mother and boyfriend came home unexpectedly according to a WRTV report. The burglary count stems from an allegation that Douce entered one of the student's home with the intent of committing child seduction. Douce is also accused of providing alcohol to the second student as well, in addition to having sex with her on several occasions, including in a girl's dressing room at the high school.
