A Utah teacher charged with rape was back in court this week, after a third victim came forward with new information. According to the
New York Daily News, teacher Brianne Land Altice, 35, has been accused of seducing 16- and a 17-year-old boys back in 2013, and now a third victim who is believed to be around the same age. The former Davis High School English teacher allegedly carried on
inappropriate relationships with these students for several months.
“The victim claimed to have flirted with Altice while volunteering as a teacher’s assistant until she gave into sex, but he later felt guilty. Their encounters included the teacher’s home, a park and a church parking lot. Her time with the 16-year-old victim overlapped encounters with a second victim that lasted from April to June 2013. The third victim believes the rapes happened in either August or September,” reports the
New York Daily News.
The Utah teacher faces five counts of rape, in addition to two counts of forcible sodomy, and three counts of forcible sexual abuse. It is unclear if there are any additional charges in the case. She was scheduled to face a jury in September, but the prosecution’s new information has pushed the trial date back. Altice will be in court on January 15.
According to
Sport Act, Altice
pleaded not guilty to six charges back in October (four counts of rape and two counts of forcible sodomy). It is believed that she will also plead not guilty to the new charges that the prosecution has brought against her.
“Altice is now charged with five counts of rape as first-degree felonies, two counts of forcible sodomy as first-degree felonies and three counts of forcible sexual abuse.”
