Victorville, CA Teacher faces trial May 9, 2002
They're always called "former" teachers when they were fired for misdeeds or still on administrative leave. Anyway, Jamie Renee Putman, 33, a "former" sixth grade teacher denied having pot parties with students and sex with a teenage student. She was caught when a security officer noticed a 13-year old boy passing over a bag of marijuana to the teacher. A 16-year-old boy told police he didn't remember having sex with her as he was too drunk, but after waking up naked the next morning in her bed, they did. And she is being charged with three counts of lewd acts with a child, six counts of furnishing marijuana to minors, 12 counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of possessing marijuana on school grounds.
