I wrote about Melinda DeLuca a while back. After being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student, she was assaulted at her home. She was beaten so badly that she had to be airlifted to a nearby hospital.

However, the attack was staged:

Lt. Evans said DeLuca claimed the attack was connected to the forcible sexual abuse case against her. As police began investigating the story of the attack, They say things just didn’t add up.

“The evidence and the information that was provided all were going down different directions,” said Evans.

Police brought the former teacher back into the office, and when put on the spot, they say DeLuca admitted she made the story up.
