Things are no longer sacred when the bonds of teacher and student have been broken. Shawnetta Reece has been arrested for a second time and this time, its for having sex with another student.
Many of you may say, “Where were these teachers when I was in school?” As funny as those jokes may be, it’s a topic that’s not meant to be taken as a joke. Shawnetta Reece was a gym teacher and she was getting in some workouts of her own if you get my drift. While being investigated for having sex with a 15-year-old student, this new case came to the light.
40-year-old Shawnetta D. Reece of Georgia was taken into custody Thursday for engaging in sexual conduct with a high school senior in 2015. The student was 18 at the time of the alleged incident.
Reece is a former gym teacher from Union County Middle School in Blairsville, Georgia. The interactions came to light when authorities were investigating the teacher on another instance of sexual misconduct; in 2013, she was alleged to have had a relationship with a 15-year-old student.
As she now has two pending cases, Georgia has strict laws and she could face up to 25 years in jail without parole.
Teachers out there-don’t risk your career. Open a Tinder account or at least wait till they’re out of school and more importantly, of age.
