Teacher charged with raping student, 13, had ditched husband for boy she called her ‘crystal meth’: prosecutor
The Los Angeles-area special ed teacher accused of raping a 13-year-old student in her car had ditched her husband for the teen - whom she referred to as her "crystal meth," according to prosecutors.
Colleen Jo Matarico, a 43-year-old grandmother, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to five felony counts of lewd acts upon a child under age 14, two felony counts of lewd acts upon a child age 14 or 15, and one felony count of furnishing a controlled substance to a minor, CBS News reported.
Prosecutors alleged that she was sexually abusing the male student for over a year, and even left her husband because she believed she was in love with him, the Los Angeles Times added.
In online messages, she called the teen “her ‘crystal meth’” — and “the only person she would go to jail for,” Deputy District Attorney Ariel Anson told Tuesday’s hearing.
The mom of two continued to pursue the boy after “multiple people in her family” begged her to stop — and the boy said he was “concerned and scared” of her jealousy, the prosecutor said.
Matarico – who worked at John Burroughs Middle School – started abusing the boy when he turned 13, while she was still his teacher, Anson told the court.
