Jennifer Lea Burton Teacher Sex Scandal


We have yet another teacher scandal today, and this time the name is Jennifer Lea Burton. This case has been mostly under the radar but after the news today of Tamara Hofmann, it has come to the public.

Here are pictures of Jennifer Lea Burton, former Orangefield Junior High School coach and teacher. Burton has been indicted on three charges of sexual assault and another three for improper relationship between an educator and a student. Jennifer Lea Burton was charged because of having repeated sexual relationships with a 15 year old female student. These happened between September 2008 and November 2008.

The indictment reportedly said

“[The events] cover a period from September 2008 through November 2008. Burton was a teacher/coach at Orangefield Junior High School and the victim was a student of that school.”

Orange County District Attorney John Kimbrough said:

“We will then make sure she has an attorney and we will give the attorney several months to investigate all aspects of the case. She (Burton) will then make the decision on either to plead guilty or not guilty to have a trial. That is the stages.”

The superintendent of the Orangefield Independent School District issued the following statement:

“The entire school community is shocked and saddened to learn that a professional teacher might be involved in any crime against a child. School district personnel will continue their focus on maintaining a safe school environment for our students.”

Jennifer Lea Burton is 39 years old and taught and coached at Orange Field Junior High School.

No comment by Burton.
