Naughty Teachers

Oxford Township, MI. – Michelle Simonson, a 28 year old former special education teacher at Sashabaw Middle School, has been arrested after she allegedly sent a topless photo and numerous sexually explicit messages to a student.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, Simonson sent over 50 sexually explicit messages during the last school year to a 14 year old special needs student that was in her class. Among the photos was a topless picture of herself.

The victim told police that she asked him to meet her outside of school once, but that he said no. The boy became uncomfortable with the messages and asked her to stop. The victim’s foster parent alerted authorities to the messages and the topless photo.

Simonson has admitted to sending the messages, telling deputies that she just wanted to help the boy be a better student, and that “it got out of hand.” Simonson and the student have both said they never had sex or direct conversations about sex.

Simonson, who is married, has waived preliminary hearings and will be going straight to trial on the charges.

Simonson was booked into jail on charges of enticing a minor for immoral purposes and distributing sexually explicit material to a minor. She was later freed on bond of $1,500.
