A Kansas substitute teacher appeared in court Monday to face charges she allegedly had sex with two students during an alcohol-fueled incident earlier this year.
Whitney Shull, 39, a former substitute teacher at Nickerson-South Hutchinson USD 309, is accused of engaging in sex acts with two teens during the midweek encounters.
One of the encounters was consensual while the other was nonconsensual and occurred when the alleged victim was unconscious, the Hays Post reported, citing a complaint filed in Reno County District Court. The victims were 16 and 17 at the time and were enrolled at the school.
