Female Teacher Arrested For Raping Student For Good Grades

A female teacher was detained after it was claimed she raped a student in return for giving him good grades.

Lena Stewart, 26, of Missouri’s Nixa High School, is accused of two counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, one count of statutory rape, and one count of s*xual misconduct. She has also been charged with three counts of having s*x with a student.

The accusations concern events that allegedly occurred in October 2022. In Missouri, the legal age of consent to have s*x is 17, yet the student was only 16 at the time.

The student allegedly complained that Stewart was lenient towards him in class, according to the investigators. He stated that he didn’t need to put in a lot of effort to get an A and expressed concern that his grades might suffer if he didn’t comply with her s*xual expectations.

A police statement (identifying the student as CV) read: “CV was interviewed as the CAC during October 2022. Lena and CV arranged to meet while CV was visiting a friend for the evening.

“CV told the interviewer that on two separate occasions, Lena met them at their friend’s house and the two engaged in s*xual contact.

“In both instances, Lena arrived in her vehicle and CV got into the vehicle with her. During the first contact, CV said the two kissed and undressed.

“CV said they got uncomfortable and told Lena that they needed to go home. During the second meet-up, CV said they kissed, undressed, performed oral sex on each other, and engaged in s*xual intercourse.”

Stewart was placed on administrative leave by the Nixa School District in December 2022.

In a statement, Zac Rantz, spokesman for the education authority, said: “We learned today that charges have been filed against Lena Stewart, a female teacher at Nixa High School.

“We take any allegation of inappropriate conduct extremely seriously, so when an allegation was made in December, the district followed policy and procedure and then placed Lena Stewart on administrative leave and will continue to follow board policy and procedure when addressing this situation.

“The district will be working with the appropriate authorities as they conduct their investigation and will cooperate fully with anything they need.”
