Judge rules the evidence is sufficient for trial:

In an expected ruling, District Judge Julie Marshall found that the District Attorney’s Office can proceed in its case against Jennie Overstreet, 33, a sixth-grade Lincoln Elementary School teacher who allegedly had sex or attempted to have sex with at least three of her male students. The next stage in the proceedings against Overstreet will be a motions hearing, set for 1:30 p.m. Sept. 11.

Thursday’s preliminary examination lasted a little more than three hours and contained very little new information than that of the bond hearing on June 22. Like that hearing, the lead detective of the case, David Elliott, testified about his findings. Also testifying Thursday was Sgt. Jeffrey Worley, a supervisor of the investigation.

In addition to being accused of having sex with children, Overstreet allegedly drank alcohol and snorted Adderall, a type of amphetamine, with her students, ranging in ages from 12 to 14.

According to testimony from investigators, Overstreet also allowed the boys to stay the night, bought them expensive gifts and told them to never talk about anything that happened between them. The children inter-viewed by the investigators apparently admitted to drinking and engaging in sexual activities with Overstreet.

Overstreet also allegedly passed notes that contained drug references and after-school home invites in class to at least one student. “Make out�? sessions and unwanted sexual advances by Overstreet also were alleged in the detectives’ testimony.

Our legal system moves like lightning I tell ya. She won’t be back in court until September. That’s amazing.

Overstreet was back in court for a bond hearing last week, and lots of dirty details were released:

Oral sex, snorting amphetamine, parading in nightgowns and viewing pornography, all with children younger than 13, were among the allegations that surfaced in Judge Julie Marshall’s district courtroom Thursday afternoon.

Her bond was raised from $50,000 to $75,000. She was deemed a flight risk because her two children were taken from her on June 1.

Overstreet is facing a litany of charges:

Overstreet faces nine counts of sexual assault on a child, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, four counts of enticement of a child, two counts of child abuse and one count of distribution of a controlled substance to a minor.

I imagine she’ll get some years if convicted, but I doubt she’ll be in prison for life. Sentencing has been pretty light for most of the women that do this sort of thing.

I found this bizarre:

According to Elliott, two alleged victims told him that Overstreet “provided them with Adderall�? in pill form and “showed them how to crush it up and snort it.�?

Adderall is meant to be taken for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and is a type of amphetamine, a stimulant and a schedule II controlled substance.

You kind of have to wonder how she had access to Adderal of all things.

This is just embarassing:

Elliott also spoke of a note allegedly given to a student by Overstreet, who was disappointed the boy would not come over after school because “she had on a sexy pair of bra and panties.�?

Overstreet will be back in court on July 6.

Her court records were released:

Court records in Fremont County say Jennie Overstreet had sex with a 7th grade student inside her Canon City home, and provided alcohol and marijuana to several other students. Overstreet taught sixth grade until last week at Lincoln Elementary. The boy she allegedly had sex with was one of her students last year.

[...]

According to the arrest warrant, Overstreet denies having sex with a student, and denies providing kids with alcohol and marijuana.

Yeah, seventh grade. That’s pretty freaking young.

Jennie Overstreet is a 33 year old teacher in Canon City, Colorado. She’s been charged with sexual assault of a child by a person in a position of trust and contributing to the delinquency of a minor:

Police say a search warrant of her residence netted various items of evident including notes written to alleged victims, pornographic material and some drug paraphernalia.

Yeah, porn and drug paraphernalia definitely equals child molestor. Sheesh, you really have to wonder about small town media sometimes.
