Another day and another student admitting to having sex with their teacher. This time it’s former Alabama University defensive back Eddie Williams, 20, is said to have admitted the affair with his high school athletic director Karissa Wesley, 35, after they became close when she tutored him. Read more after the jump.
Williams said he had sex with Wesley ‘about 10 times’ when he visited her house.
Another student, who was present and heard them having sex, told police he ended the affair when Wesley talked about having Williams’ baby.
Williams, who was kicked off the Alabama squad earlier this year after being accused of taking part in a robbery on campus, said the affair took place in his senior year.
Williams at first denied the affair – but later confessed, according to Major Tommy Ford with Bay County Sheriff’s Office.
Details of the alleged affair emerged as Wesley was suspended from her job as Athletic Director at Arnold High School in Bay County, Florida.
A former coach at the school is reported to have told school board members about the affair while school chiefs received an email from a former teacher Peggy Dawson.
Authorities said Dawson’s email included a hand written letter from former football player Andre Allen who alleged that Wesley and Williams had sex.
Allen was referred to as student B while Williams was student A in a subsequent investigation.
The e-mail said that Williams smoked sticky icky with Wesley on multiple occasions, stayed the night and drank alcohol with them.
Williams’ confession to the affair was released by police to TV station WMBB.
Wesley has strenuously denied the affair and issued a statement to WMBB TV.
She said:’I deny all allegations in the letter. I want to thank the Arnold students, especially the volleyball players, administration and faculty, parents and community for the outpouring of prayers, love and support.’
The school district investigation found that Wesley is in a relationship with the school’s Football and Basketball Coach, Bobby Britton.
