McMINNVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A former teacher who served time in jail after being accused of having sex with a 13-year-old boy was arrested for the second time in two weeks, with prosecutors saying she contacted the victim again and sent him sexually explicit videos of herself.
A judge on Wednesday ordered Pamela Rogers, 28, who had been free on bond after an April 11 arrest on a probation violation charge, to remain in jail until a July hearing.
Prosecutor Dale Potter had said he would seek to revoke Rogers' probation and send her to prison for seven years. Potter didn't immediately return calls Wednesday seeking comment.
Rogers' attorney, Peter Strianse, said he would have to question his client's mental competency if prosecutors substantiate the new charges.
"If they're able to prove this, it would show an incredible lack of judgment," Strianse told the Southern Standard newspaper after Wednesday's hearing.
The latest charges contend that Rogers, who was arrested Monday, reached the now-14-year-old student by cell phone just hours after her April 12 court appearance. Authorities said she previously contacted with the boy and his teenage sister by text messages and via the Internet.
Rogers pleaded no contest last year to having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the student, who attended the elementary school where she formerly taught.
In a deal with prosecutors, she was sentenced to a six-month jail term and long probation under the condition that she not contact the victim or his family or use the Internet. |
