Allanah Benton Wells, 42, an elementary school teacher and mother, is accused of having sex with a 12-year-old boy who was a student her sixth grade class.
Prosecutor David Leyton of Genesee County, Michigan expects to charge the Flint, MI teacher with two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under the age of 13. If convicted of this felony, Allanah Benton Wells could face life in prison.
Allanah Benton Wells denies the allegations and will challenge the charges in court. She was fired from her job at Flint’s Williams Elementary earlier this month.
The affair supposedly took place in October of 2007. Court documents claim that Allanah Benton Wells had sex with the 12 year-old on two separate occasions. The boy’s mother found out about their relationship after intercepting a phone call between the two. Benton Wells’ ex-husband says that he saw the boy at their house a number of times, once late at night, sitting with Allanah Benton Wells who was wearing only a nightgown.
This is just the latest in a string of illegal sexual affairs between students and teachers sweeping the US. GroundReport reported recently that a Texas teacher was caught performing oral sex on her 16-year-old student after school.
