police found beer, marijuana, an open condom wrapper and at least four
teenage girls and boys, including several of her 15-year-old son's friends.
Though categorically denying rumors she was having sex with students
from the school, Swogger was quoted as saying, "I was stupid, very stupid.
I already know I was and I can understand you looking at me wrong. It's the
biggest mistake I ever made in my whole life." Police allege Swogger
"asked or encouraged" two 15-year-old runaway girls to have sex with her.
According to a police papers, Swogger admitted to having sex with a 17-
year-old boy and asked police, "How serious is that?" The one-time exotic

dancer resigned Feb. 25, 2008. Swogger accepted a 3- to-6-year jail term
that included a 36-year probation on May 26, 2009. "I'm sorry I was not the role model I should
have been. I'm really sorry," she told the judge.

the girl in March 2003. "Not many people are going to understand that, but we know in our
hearts that God made us for each other!" Holloway is fighting extradition.

the boy shared with his mother. "She apparently didn't find anything wrong with it,

was a 14-year-old eighth-grader. "(Students) come here and it's supposed to be like

with a teacher eventually caught the attention of a school resource officer. "I think

 Page 25 of 36

a two week period. "You probably noticed that several teachers have been arrested
on these types of charges lately," said Santa Clara County Supervising Deputy
District Attorney Mike Fletcher. "But teachers are no more likely than doctors,
lawyers or newspaper reporters to commit these crimes. Sex crimes affect a wide
cross-section of demographics. I think it's just a fluke."

High School in West Jordan, Utah, was fired in December 2005

teen boys attacked her as payback. In reality, she made up the claim in an apparent
attempt to get sympathy. In January 2007, she was sentenced to 90 days in jail. The Melinda Deluca

whether the money exchanged was for sex or to keep the boy quiet about the
