Another teacher has found herself in hot water with the law for having sex with an underage student. Amber Telford, who is a former Utah Jazz dancer, has pled guilty to engaging in sexual activity with a minor student from her dance class.
Amber Telford, 33, admitted to a felony count of unlawful sexual activity with a minor on Tuesday in Salt Lake County court, prosecutors confirmed.
The dance teacher carried on an illicit affair for at least five months in late 2014 with a 17-year-old student from her studio, authorities said.
She was going through a divorce at the time, and her suspicious husband hired a private investigator who caught the mother of three during a Nov. 28, 2014 hook up with the underage teen, authorities said.
The dance instructor and the minor were under a blanket with “their clothes strewn about the floor” when the investigator, camera in hand, walked in on them, authorities said.
The teen told police he’d had sex with Telford seven times, usually at her home but also at her parent’s house and a couple of times in a car.
Allegedly, Telford was buying gifts and also paying for his dance competitions. Telford could be hit with as much as 5 years in prison at her sentencing in August.
