Who needs coats this winter? If you are a student at Calhan High School, until recently, you could have found a warm spot with a 27-year-old drama and choir teacher named Amanda Rowles.
Rowles found herself in the pokey after playing pokey-pokey with two male students.
The El Paso County Sheriff's Office launched an investigation last September after Calhan School administrators advised the Sheriff's Office of a possible relationship between Rowles and a student.
The investigation revealed that Rowles allegedly engaged in sexual relationships with two 17-year-old students during the 2011-2012 school year.
According to investigators, one student stated that he had sex with Rowles "on at least 40 occasions" over a six month period. The sexual encounters reportedly took place while Rowles and the student were hiking together or when they were at her mother's house.
Another student told police that his relationship with Rowles was sparked when she kissed him in the classroom after school. A sexual relationship developed between Rowles and the student even after she had pushed him away at one point and acknowledged that the relationship was wrong.
The student told investigators that he was "hurt" when Rowles abruptly ended their relationship and moved away.
At the end of the 2011-2012 school year, Rowles resigned her position at the school and moved to the Denver area where she was arrested by the Aurora County Sheriff's Office.
She was arrested and taken to the Aurora County Jail, charged with two counts each of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust and sexual assault/pattern of abuse. Her bond has been set at $50,000.
