Lower Moreland High School teacher and mother Erica Ann Ginnetti had sex with 17 yr male student

Once again the reaction of parents and students is shock despite how prevalent this around the country. 

ABC News reports  a high school teacher in Montgomery County has been charged with having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student.

Erica Ann Ginnetti, 33, an advanced math teacher at Lower Moreland High School, is charged with 13 counts including Institutional Sexual Assault, Corruption of Minors, and Disseminating Obscene Materials to a Minor.

Students say the rumors have been circulating for a while that Ginnetti, a married mother, had an intimate relationship with a 17-year-old male student. 

"The fact that she had kids and she was a teacher and he was student, that's what's shocking," said Patrick Giordano, student.

Police began their investigation ten days ago, after receiving a tip about other students seeing incriminating evidence on the victim's cell phone.

Police say the evidence, including photos, video and text messages, led them to Ginnetti, who admitted to having a relationship with the student starting last Spring.

Investigators say Ginnetti first approached the male student at the school's senior prom last May, asking him if he would come work out at her gym. They say the student responded with a text message a few days later and the two began communicating on a daily basis.
Prosecutors say over the next several months, Ginnetti sent the student sexual text messages and sexually explicit photos and videos of herself, and on one occasion had sex with him.
