Ashlyn Faye Bell, 24, was sentenced to four years behind bars by an all-female jury in Bowie County on Monday. She claimed she didn t realize she was doing anything wrong.
Bell is now required to register as a sex offender.
Bell testified Wednesday that she didn’t know that
Texarkana Independent School District policy prohibited staff other than teachers from having sex with students.
She also testified that she believed the students were all 18 or older.
The Toronto Sun reported that Bell also testified that the boys were the aggressors in the sexual relationships and had actively pursued her.
The court was told she would go to a truck stop to pick up her teenage lovers from the school after work in 2019, and often had sex in the car while her three year old daughter slept in the back of the car.
