Littleton teacher arrested for student relationship http://www.privateofficer.com
Littleton CO Aug 22 2009
44-year-old high school English teacher was arrested at her home in Douglas County Wednesday night on suspicion of having had a sexual relationship with a student.
The former Collegiate Academy student, now 21, told investigators last week that he had a relationship with Linda Lewis Trabucco throughout his years at the Littleton charter school, starting in 2003.
They continued to be intimate until he graduated, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
“At this time, investigators have no information indicating the teacher has been involved with recent students of the school,” the Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
The former student, who was not identified because he is an alleged victim of a sex crime, told investigators he and Trabucco began holding hands and kissing as they walked around the lake at Clement Park during his freshman year.
During his sophomore year, they began having sex at his home when his father was away and in her sport-utility vehicle at other times. After her divorce, they began having sex in her home in Highlands Ranch, according to the arrest affidavit.
He told the deputy that he and Trabucco had sex “too many times to count.”
As evidence, he provided police an e-mail from Trabucco, which she allegedly sent him during his senior, that referenced their sexual relationship and questioned whether she should use birth control, according to investigators.
Police set up a recorded phone call between the former student and Trabucco, in which he asked her if she had just used him for sex and why she had a relationship with someone his age. She allegedly replied, “Because I wasn’t thinking about your age.”
Trabucco has taught at Collegiate since 2000. She teaches advanced-placement English classes and serves as an assistant principal at the K-12 school of about 500 students.
She has been placed on paid administrative leave, said Lynn Setzer, a spokeswoman for the Jefferson R-1 School District.
According to the arrest affidavit, her children were home when she was arrested about 6:20 p.m. Wednesday night.
She remained in the Jefferson County Jail this afternoon in lieu of $50,000 bail.
She faces a felony charge of sexual assault on a child in a position of trust.
