#161 — Married Teacher Traumatized At Least Two Male High School Students With Gobs Of Sex, Cops Say

This week’s married fourth-grade teacher busted for allegedly 
traumatizing two male high school students for about two years 
with a bunch of sex is Tennille Whitaker.

Whitaker, 40, taught — until just recently — at Wells Combined 
School in Wells, Nevada, a tiny speck of a town in the northeast 
corner of the state.

Elko County sheriff’s deputies arrested Whitaker, a mother of 
two, on Monday, according to the Elko Daily Free Press, the 
local newspaper.

The two male students were between the ages of 16 years old and 
18 years old when Whitaker allegedly traumatized them with the 
bouts of sex, Elko County Undersheriff Ron Supp told the Daily 
Free Press.

Some of the sex romps occurred on school grounds, investigators 
say.

The sheriff’s department began investigating Whitaker’s alleged 
sexual proclivities with the two local teenagers back in October 
based on a tip from a parent who had observed the teacher and a 
teen alone behind a closed classroom door.

The Elko County school district initiated its own investigation 
in February.

Both investigations were difficult.

“Nobody was really willing to testify or give a statement that 
said ‘yes, this happened,'” school district superintendent Jeff 
Zander told the Daily Free Press.

Undaunted, sheriff’s deputies say they placed Whitaker under 
surveillance and pursued “some unconventional investigation” to 
break the case.

Once the deputies arrested Whitaker, school district officials 
placed her on paid leave.

“The teacher has been placed on administrative leave with pay 
pending full investigation and we’re fully cooperating with the 
sheriff’s office to facilitate the investigation,” school 
district superintendent Jeff Zander told the newspaper.

“The Elko County school district takes this very seriously and 
we have policies in place to prohibit this type of conduct,” 
Zander added. “The safety of our students is the highest 
priority.”

Supp, the undersheriff, said he suspects Whitaker may have 
traumatized additional local male teenagers with sex.

“At this point in the investigation we have two students that 
have been involved but we think there are possibly more,” he 
told the Daily Free Press.

Whitaker, an 11-year veteran with the Elko County school 
district, currently faces eight counts of sexual conduct with a 
pupil.

A judge set the teacher’s bail at $160,000, according to Reno 
NBC affiliate KRNV.

She posted the bail sometime this week.

Meanwhile, the Daily Free Press later reported that Elko County 
school district officials have now decided it would be a good 
idea to increase restrictions on — and better monitor — social 
media communications between teachers and students.
