Ms. Love’s class seems to be about reading, writing and raunch.
Nebraska high school teacherElizabeth Jamie Love, 36, and her boyfriendwere arrested and charged on Friday over an alleged scheme to sex traffic a student to him.
Cops allege Love gave cash to the female student to keep her over and drove the alleged victim home following the failed plot.
Weeks of ‘inappropriate interactions’
Love, a mother of two, and Jarid ‘Jack’ Krause, 42, were both busted after the female student reported that she had been subjected to weeks’ worth of “inappropriate interactions.” Love had been teaching at Educational Service Unit 11 in Nebraska.
Holdrege Police Department investigators say the teacher picked up the student and drove her to her boyfriend’s home on Oct. 11. Krause was waiting inside and is accused of leading the girl to an upstairs bedroom.
The girl claimed that he made what she believed was a request for sex. She turned down the alleged offer and was allowed to go home.
CCTV footage showed Love following the girl to her vehicle. The teen then climbed into Love’s black Dodge Durango and was driven home.
The student claimed Love apologized, but was warned to keep the failed tryst on the down low. She then allegedly gave the girl five $20 bills. The teacher later told cops the cash was simply a gift so she could buy a new phone.
Overheard phone call wanting to have sex
The criminal probe began after the student reported inappropriate interactions with Love and her boyfriend on Oct. 14.
The student claims she overheard the couple engaged in a phone conversation in August. In that call, Krause allegedly told Love he wanted to have sex with the student.
Love has been charged with one count of sex trafficking of a minor, along with an additional count of sexual grooming by a school employee. According to her Facebook page, she is a widow.
She was placed on administrative leave when the allegations emerged. Krause is also charged with one count of sex trafficking of a minor. Both were being held in the county jail awaiting their first court appearance on Monday.
Police say they do not believe there are any other alleged victims.
