Fifth Grade Students Arrested for Having Sex in Classroom

LOUISIANA - Last month, it was reported in this story that two sixth grade students in Indiana had been accused of having sex in their shop class, while the teacher was present, and that the school district covered up this occurrence, not admitting the event had taken place until months later, when a television news station broke the story, thanks to a letter that tipped them off.

This month, in a small city in Louisiana, FoxNews reported this morning that a similar event occurred at the Spearsville school. Unlike the incident in Indiana, the students involved were arrested Tuesday morning. Their names have been withheld due to their ages, and the students have been released to their parents pending court.

The students arrested were: one 13-year old boy, one 12-year old boy, and two 11-year old girls; each charged with obscenity, which is a felony. Also charged was one 11 year old boy who allegedly acted as a lookout for the other students. He is being charged with accessory to a felony, also a felony charge.

The class was reported to have about 15 students total, including the alleged sexual perpetrators. Usually, a high school teacher would supervisor the fifth grade class during the period of time this incident occurred, but it was reported by the school that the class had been left unsupervised for approximately 15 minutes, and this is when the incident allegedly occurred.

The incident was not reported immediately, but the following day, one of the students in the class was reported to have told the incident to a Spearsville high school student, who then reported it to a teacher. The teacher then reported it to the proper school officials, who then contacted the local sheriff's department. Investigators began questioning students about the incident on Thursday.
