Texas Teacher LaShawn Simmons Headed to Jail for Improper Relationship With 4 Underage Students

Pasadena, Texas

The Houston, Texas area has been a “hotbed” for teachers letting their hormones run wild with underage students. First, it was Kathryn Camille Murray, a Science teacher at Memorial Middle School.

And today, another teacher in nearby Pasadena has been charged with engaging in improper relationships with four students.

LaShawn Simmons, 41, was a math teacher at Beverly Hills Intermediate School for 14 years. She has resigned from the school district, basically before they fired her ass.

One thing I noticed, judging from her Myspace page, is that for a teacher, she can’t spell for shit. Then again, it is Pasadena after all.

She says:

hello :) my mane is LaShawn i am currently 36 i have two children named bryce&kyerra. they are pretty much my whole life and wouldent be able to live with out them. i am an 8th grade school teacher. Ive been teaching for almost 15 years now and i enjoy every moment of it. i am a loud person with a huge personality. I speak my mind no matter who is around.

The five charges include one count of sexual assault of a child under 17, a second-degree felony.

Simmons is also charged with two counts of engaging in an improper relationship between an educator and a student, also a second-degree felony.

One of the victims, according to authorities, was only 14 when it happened.

The teacher is accused of sexting the boy and including pictures of her “private parts.”

The relationship began when the student went to Simmons for tutoring and she exchanged phone numbers with him.

The two other charges filed against Simmons—online solicitation of a minor and possession of child pornography—are both third-degree felonies.

All four alleged victims are now students at Dobie High School.

Pasadena ISD police sought charges against Simmons after completing a two-month investigation in the case. The investigation followed a complaint from a concerned parent regarding alleged online messaging between her child and Simmons on a social media network.

The complaint was made on Dec. 10, 2012. After that, Simmons was immediately placed on administrative leave without access to students at the school.

Anyone who believes they have information related to this case should contact Trae Morris, detective with the Pasadena ISD Police Department, at 713-740-0063.
