Hey, everyone, welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite.

00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.000
I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and we are back with

3
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:25.920
another Bad Teacher series episode. But before we get into it,

4
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:30.679
I've got another Patreon Global celebrity member to shout out,

you can't go wrong with the nickname like Hollywood. David

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:47.079
is from Hopkinsville, Kentucky, and interestingly, Hopkinsville was a stop

8
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.079
along the Trail of Tears. It's also home to the

9
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:56.920
National Park System's Trail of Tears Commemorative Park. Every September,

10
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.759
the Trailer Tears Indian Pow Wow comes to town to

11
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.480
that park, and there's a museum, a burial ground, and

12
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.879
they actually have two very important Cherokee leaders who died

13
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:16.040
during the removal of the Cherokee Indians. So shout out

14
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.799

16
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.920
this week's Bad Teacher, and we're going to take you

17
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.519
to Caysville, Utah, which is about twenty five miles north

18
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.079
of Salt Lake City. And I'm going to bring you

19
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.000
inside Davis High School for this one, and I'm going

20
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.040
to tell you about a bad teacher by the name

21
00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:49.079
of Briann Altis. So to give you a little history

22
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.599
on Brian. She was born in Utah, and in two

23
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.000
thousand and four she was hired to work as a

24
00:01:56.040 --> 00:02:00.799
teacher at an elementary school in the Davis County School District.

25
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.200
Then in twenty eleven, she started teaching full time at

26
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.080
Sunset Junior High School, and that's really where her problems began,

27
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.919
at least behind the scenes. It was not until much

28
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.800
later in twenty thirteen that these problems would surface. We'll

29
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:25.879
get into August of twoenty twelve, she begins teaching English

30
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.199
at Davis High School and everything seems fine on the surface.

31
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.639
At this point, she has to children, she's married, et cetera. Then,

32
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.360
in the fall of twenty thirteen, a teacher by the

33
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.919
name of Shauna Warwick, who actually taught with alties at

34
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.800
the junior High school prior to Altis, being transferred to

35
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:50.719
the high school. She's in a local park with her

36
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.400
husband and daughter, and much to her surprise, she sees

37
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:58.240
how tiese at the park and a student from the

38
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.680
high school. They're laid out on a blanket and they're

39
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.759
having a picnic lunch. Well, this did not look innocent

40
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.599
to Miss Warck, and she would describe it later as

41
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.680
looking more like a date between the two. She takes

42
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.000
a bunch of pictures of this, and the next week

43
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:23.199
she emails the principle of the high school where bringing

44
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.400
in Altis is teaching, and basically in that email, she's like,

45
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.599
I got some pictures you're probably gonna want to see. Now.

46
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.919
A little history on miss Ward. She worked as an

47
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.599
aide actually in Miss Altis's classroom at that junior high

48
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.800
and later she would say that this was not the

49
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:48.120
first time she had complained about Altis's interactions with students.

50
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.280
She would say that it was common for Autist to

51
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:56.840
intentionally stand on chairs and quote wiggle herself all the

52
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:01.319
way up while lowering a movie projectors. She would also

53
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:05.080
say that Altis would commonly have students in her classroom

54
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.159
when they were not supposed to be in there. She

55
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.560
said that while teaching at the junior high school, many

56
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.680
of the other teachers would comment on her dressing inappropriately,

57
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:19.279
and even saying that when one teacher heard that Altis

58
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.160
was being transferred from the junior high to the high school.

59
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.120
The teacher commented, I give it two years and she

60
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.120
will be in the news. So back at the high school,

61
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.480
they're dealing with these picture allegations this time, and they

62
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:38.879
talked to said teen that was in these pictures, and

63
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.439
that boy told police eventually that he had sex with

64
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:49.720
Brian Altes, which allegedly occurred between the spring and August

65
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.160
of twenty twelve when he was sixteen years old. The

66
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.959
team went on to say that he and Altese had

67
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.680
sex about seven times, five times at her home, and

68
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:04.240
why he's somewhere in Kysville. Police wanted some confirmation on

69
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.920
that did she have any markings that you wouldn't see,

70
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:11.000
like tattoos, et cetera. He was able to describe tattoos

71
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.519
on her body that were hidden unless she was naked,

72
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.199
and the layout of her house. So police get this

73
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.160
information and the next thing they do they search Alts's home.

74
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.879
Then a news release comes out quote with the assistance

75
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.680
of the Davis County Sheriff's Office, Miss Altese was interviewed.

76
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.879
In evidence from the residents corroborated what the victim had

77
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.279
told us, according to the police department. The document added

78
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.120
that investigators photographed Altisa's tattoos and her home and got

79
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:47.439
a search warrant for her phone data. So, after hearing

80
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.279
her miranda rights, Altis admitted to having sex with the

81
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.720
teen on two occasions, once at her home and once

82
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:59.879
at a Caysville park. Altis Is then placed on paid

83
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:05.480
administrative leave, penning the outcome of an investigation. Now, this

84
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.920
was on October twenty ninth of twenty thirteen, and at

85
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:13.879
this time, although she was arrested, no formal charges were filed.

86
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.399
Not sure why. I guess they wanted to get with

87
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.439
the district attorney and do more investigating make sure they

88
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.160
had enough evidence for a conviction. But considering she admitted

89
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.720
to some of these allegations, kind of surprised me. But regardless,

90
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:33.079
Autist does bail out on a ten thousand dollars bail.

91
00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:39.199
Then on December eighteenth of twenty thirteen, charges are officially

92
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:43.399
filed in the case, three counts of first degree felony

93
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.240
rape to be exact from the allegations of sex with

94
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.600
the then sixteen year old male student. That is a

95
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.519
big deal. First degree rape is life in prison. She's

96
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.519
got three counts of that. Officially, Autist was accused of

97
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.639
having had sexual inns with the boy, who at this

98
00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:05.720
point in the investigation was seventeen, on at least three

99
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:11.720
occasions between January and September of twenty thirteen. A preliminary

100
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:16.879
hearing was then set for January thirty first of twenty fourteen,

101
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:19.759
and it was at that hearing that testimony from the

102
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:23.879
alleged victim and a law enforcement officer was heard. The

103
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.879
judge then ruled there was probable cause that the teacher

104
00:07:27.959 --> 00:07:31.720
committed the crimes and officially orders a trial. A new

105
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:35.519
charge was also added at this hearing, which was one

106
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:41.360
count of first degree felony forcible sodomy, which, if you're

107
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.319
curious what that means in Utah, that could mean anally

108
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:54.120
or orally assaulting a victim. In this particular case, it's orally.

109
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.199
It was also discovered at this time that her husband

110
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.000
had filed for divorce and cut the study of their

111
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:06.560
children in December, so life is not good at all

112
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.000
in this stage for Altis. Then, on February twenty seventh

113
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:16.879
of twenty fourteen, Altis pleaded to the charges, and as

114
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.199
you would expect, she pleaded not guilty. And not much

115
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.639
occurs after that. For a little while at least in

116
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:29.160
public until June third of twenty fourteen. Now, Brian had

117
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:33.519
been fighting to get the charges dismissed this whole time,

118
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.039
which is not out of the ordinary. Any defense attorney

119
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.399
is going to try to do that. But it's on

120
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.679
this date that the judge officially provides what's done as

121
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.960
a refusal to dismiss on those charges. Her attorney argued

122
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.960
that prosecutors did not prove at the preliminary hearing that

123
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.720
Autist held a position of trust as the boy's teacher,

124
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:01.480
and that she used that position to exercise undue influence

125
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.559
over him. He wrote in his motion to dismiss that

126
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:08.720
the team testified during the preliminary hearing that he was

127
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.320
the aggressor and that it was his ultimate goal to

128
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.600
have sex without tease. Quote. She repeatedly refused and declined

129
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:22.399
his advances until he ultimately broke down her resistance. That

130
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.679
from her attorney, Now, before I go any further, already

131
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.960
you can see she's the victim, right, Typical of all

132
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.399
of these cases really that we cover. The state failed

133
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:39.600
to establish probable cause to believe that intercourse that occurred

134
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:44.919
was without consent, the attorney added, So the prosecutor, actually

135
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:50.080
the deputy Davis County Attorney, Christina Ortega. She argued in

136
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:55.080
a response motion that teachers inherently have influence over their students,

137
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.559
absolutely correct, because they can discipline students, they can give

138
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.519
students grades, and they have the ability to justify or

139
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:08.120
excuse absences in other classrooms. And of course the judge

140
00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:11.159
went with the prosecution on this and it was a

141
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:14.799
big win for the prosecution at this point. So a

142
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:18.799
trial date also gets set and it's set for September

143
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:25.360
fifteenth of twenty fourteen. And so we wait, right, well,

144
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.639
it's more problems for this teacher. Went on August fourth

145
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:36.080
of twenty fourteen. More charges are filed after another student

146
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.879
claims sex with outees. And we see this all the

147
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.360
time when we're covering these cases, right, more people come

148
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:47.919
forward as they feel safe, and it was no exception

149
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.360
with this team. And in the new charges, prosecutors filed

150
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.679
one additional count of rape in one additional count of

151
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:02.639
forced sodomy against outees. This time is thirty five after

152
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.279
a seventeen year old tells police that he had sexual

153
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.639
intercourse and oral sex with the former teacher once between

154
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:17.039
April and June of twenty fourteen. So after all the

155
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:21.519
new charges are filed, Autisa's attorney he asked if the

156
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.600
upcoming trial be canceled so that his client could have

157
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.039
a preliminary hearing on the new charges. And as you

158
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.919
would expect to judge grants that request. That was reasonable.

159
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.720
So on September nineteenth of twenty fourteen, that's second teen,

160
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.399
he testifies at his pre trial hearing. The now eighteen

161
00:11:41.480 --> 00:11:45.639
year old gives graphic details about how he went from

162
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:50.080
being Autisa's student to allegedly having sex with the woman

163
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:55.080
in his home. Now Altisa at this point was charged

164
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:59.320
with four counts of first degree felony rape in two

165
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.919
counts of sodomy. The team testified that he was seventeen

166
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:06.159
years old when a relationship with Auteat took place at

167
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:10.799
prior year, a relationship that started with kissing between class

168
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:17.000
periods and allegedly led to intercourse. The teen testified that

169
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.919
he told authorities about his relationship with Autist the same

170
00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:24.759
day that she was arrested for charges related to that

171
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:29.399
first team, but in July of twenty fourteen, he went

172
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:33.039
to prosecutors and told them it was all a lot.

173
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:37.000
He said, I felt sorry for her kids more than her,

174
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.720
quote unquote, he said, quote I felt sorry for her

175
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.759
kids more than her. Obviously she knew what she was doing.

176
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:47.679
I was just thinking about her kids, how I grew

177
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:52.600
up without my mom, et cetera. However, on the stand,

178
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.679
he testified that he was telling the truth and that

179
00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:03.080
the inappropriate relationship did happened, and he described Auties as quote,

180
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:10.840
a teacher with benefits. So, after hearing the teen's testimony,

181
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:14.799
the DA asks for more charges to be added to Altese,

182
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:21.000
including three counts of forcible sexual abuse, all second degree felonies.

183
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.879
The judge granted the request, and at this point the

184
00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:32.240
former teacher faced nine felony charges and life in prison.

185
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:38.559
So obviously alties is in a world of shit and

186
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:42.600
it does not get any better for her when on

187
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:49.879
December eleventh of twenty fourteen, a third student comes forward

188
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.360
with claims of sex with her. Altes allegedly had sexual

189
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:58.360
contact with this seventeen year old boy between August and

190
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:05.519
September of twenty fourteen. So another preliminary hearing is set

191
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.759
and another charge of first degree rape is in place

192
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:16.639
on Altis, bringing her felony charges now to ten. During

193
00:14:17.120 --> 00:14:22.679
these bad Teacher series episodes. I usually have a hold

194
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.799
on to your ass kind of moment, right, A shocking

195
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:32.399
I can't believe this shit moment. Well, here's the one,

196
00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.720
and I'm gonna quote you this one straight from the

197
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:40.600
Salt Lake City Tribune because it has a few moving

198
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:47.000
parts to it. January eighth of twenty fifteen, former Utah

199
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:53.720
teacher faces more charges after teen says they had sex again.

200
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.440
A former Davis High School teacher is facing more felony

201
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:02.320
charges after prosecute accused the thirty five year old woman

202
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.960
of having sex with a teenage boy after she was

203
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:10.960
arrested in charge for allegedly having sex with several students.

204
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:15.519
Brian Altis was charged with three counts of unlawful sexual

205
00:15:15.559 --> 00:15:18.519
activity with a minor in one count of dealing in

206
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:23.120
harmful material to a minor, all third degree felonies. According

207
00:15:23.120 --> 00:15:27.440
to the arrest warrant, Altist allegedly had sex and oral

208
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.759
sex with a seventeen year old boy between November twenty

209
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:34.679
thirteen and August of twenty fourteen. She is also accused

210
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.600
of sending the boy a text message with a photograph

211
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:42.759
of her breast. On June seventh of twenty fourteen. Y'all,

212
00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:47.399
that was just six months before this article came out.

213
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.679
Her attorney said Thursday, the prosecutors alleged to the victim

214
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.440
in the new case is one of three teenage boys

215
00:15:54.480 --> 00:15:57.519
who have accused her of sexual relationships while she was

216
00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:01.720
a teacher. She is facing tim fellon charges in another

217
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:06.159
case for those alleged sexual relationships. Because the alleged crimes

218
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.559
happened when Autist was out on bail on other charges,

219
00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:13.200
which included five counts of first degree felony rape, two

220
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:16.559
counts of first degree astonomy, and three counts of second

221
00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:20.759
degree felony forcible sexual abuse, prosecutors have asked that no

222
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:25.200
bail hold be placed on the former teacher. However, according

223
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.360
to court records, Autist was booked into the Davis Kind

224
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:31.799
of Jail and bailed out the same day. No coordinator

225
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.960
has been set on the new case. Autist was originally

226
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:38.519
arrested in October of twenty thirteen, and criminal charges were

227
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:41.759
filed against her in December of twenty thirteen after a

228
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:44.759
sixteen year old boy told police he had several sexual

229
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.120
encounters with Autist between January and September of twenty thirteen.

230
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:52.840
In October of twenty fourteen. The second team testified at

231
00:16:52.879 --> 00:16:55.240
a hearing that he was seventeen years old when a

232
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:59.080
relationship with Autist took place between April and June of

233
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.480
twenty five, fourteen, a relationship that began with kissing between

234
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.880
class periods and eventually led to intercourse. A January fifteenth

235
00:17:07.920 --> 00:17:10.880
hearing is scheduled in the second District Court to hear

236
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.200
evidence from A thirteen. According to the charging documents, Altis

237
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:18.920
allegedly had sexual contact with that seventeen year old boy

238
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.799
between August of twenty thirteen and September of twenty thirteen.

239
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.839
If convicted is charged, Altis faces up to life in prison.

240
00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:31.279
Her attorney filed a motion in early November asking for

241
00:17:31.359 --> 00:17:34.839
separate trials for each of the victims, arguing the allegjacks

242
00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:38.200
were not part of a common scheme or plan. Her

243
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.640
attorney said in another motion filed before charges were filed

244
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.039
in connection to the third victim, that Altis claims the

245
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:48.680
sexual relationship didn't happen, that she never engaged in any

246
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:54.559
inappropriate relationship with either of those students. Prosecutors say Autis

247
00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:57.920
acknowledged to investigators she had engaged in sex with a

248
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.079
sixteen year old boy on two occasions, but her attorney

249
00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:03.960
as a judge not to allow those statements in the trial,

250
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.160
arguing that she was intimidated by the eight to ten

251
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:10.359
mail officers who came to her home last October to

252
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:14.759
interview her on that investigation. So just a couple of

253
00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:18.920
weeks later she has the pre trial hearing for that

254
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.680
third student who came forward with allegations, and he was

255
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:28.200
now eighteen years old, and he said that his relationship

256
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:32.079
with Brian Alties started as just his teacher at Davis

257
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:35.680
High School. Then she was his friend, someone who listened

258
00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:39.119
as he talked about his family problems and his struggles

259
00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:43.680
in school. Eventually, he said he considered the thirty five

260
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:48.000
year old woman to be his girlfriend. He testified that

261
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:51.839
he had a sexual relationship with his former English teacher

262
00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.799
for about a year, starting in September of twenty thirteen,

263
00:18:55.920 --> 00:19:00.279
when they had intercourse near a water tower. And tell

264
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:05.039
you how serious this relationship was, y'all. I've got the

265
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:11.880
actual transcripts from his interview. He had sex with her

266
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:17.920
almost every day, and many of those times twice a

267
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.200
day when school ended and at lunchtime. He said he

268
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.599
still cares about the teacher and was very unhappy to

269
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:31.079
be testifying. It's ridiculous, he said. She doesn't deserve to

270
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.920
be here. The eighteen year old testified he had sex

271
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:39.480
with Autist once before October of twenty thirteen, when she

272
00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.720
was initially arrested. Then the eighteen year old said he

273
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:48.319
had sex three more times after December of twenty thirteen,

274
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:51.400
when she was free on bail. There was a concern,

275
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.559
he said, that we would get caught seeing each other

276
00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.960
because I was underage. Autist also sent the boy the

277
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:02.240
text message the photo of her breast in June of

278
00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:06.039
twenty fourteen. As I told you, this was nearly eight

279
00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.799
months after being released on bail. He also testified to

280
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.960
contacting the other victims of the teacher and attempting to

281
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:18.599
get them not to testify, which kind of shows you

282
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.559
the mind control she had over this kid when he

283
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.000
was under age. I'm gonna read you an actual text

284
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:29.200
he sent to another one of the guys that had

285
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:33.400
sex with Altees in trying to get the guy not

286
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:38.000
to testify against Altees. Quote, you want me to threaten

287
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:41.039
you so they can get me with witness tampering too.

288
00:20:41.559 --> 00:20:44.599
Don't worry this isn't over. I'm gonna prove you're a

289
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.759
fucking line piece of shit scumbag who's gonna write in

290
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:53.319
the deepest caves of Hell. I fucking despise you, and

291
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.400
I swear to God one day you will get your karma.

292
00:20:59.039 --> 00:21:02.039
I will never forget this. And when you're fucking dead,

293
00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:05.240
I'm gonna spit on your fucking grave every night, you

294
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:11.559
fucking sociopathic, narcissistic, lying scumbag. I know you're lying, and

295
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:16.599
I'm gonna prove it. So that's how pissed off this

296
00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:21.400
guy was. This is how controlled he was. She was

297
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.440
screwing this guy every day after school and most days

298
00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:31.200
after school and at lunch. That's why this is such

299
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.240
a big issue. And it's interesting to note that this

300
00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.039
kid today, I'm not gonna say his name, but I

301
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:39.799
know who he is. This kid today is an attorney.

302
00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.359
But we'll move on. And obviously Altiz broke her bail

303
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:49.720
conditions with all of this, and she's immediately arrested again

304
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:54.519
at this preliminary hearing, even though she had bailed out

305
00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:59.559
that second time. This time, the judge decides to have

306
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:04.920
a no hold bond on her so she can't beel out.

307
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.680
She's stuck in jail at this point, and I have

308
00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.960
actually the video from her getting handcuffed right there in

309
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:16.839
the courtroom. She looks shocked, and I'm gonna post it

310
00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:19.759
on the Patreon for all the celebrity members. But at

311
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:28.279
this point, fourteen felonies for Altes So on April fifteenth

312
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:33.119
of twenty fifteen, Outeas realizes that she screwed no way

313
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:35.559
out of this one, and she does what they all do.

314
00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:41.200
She plea bargains. And I will never understand why prosecutors

315
00:22:41.920 --> 00:22:45.720
plea bargain in cases that are chopped full of evidence

316
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.880
like this. I get plea bargains as a general rule

317
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:53.680
in a lot of cases. Look, prisons are overcrowded. They're

318
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.839
trying to control that. Sometimes they don't have the evidence

319
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.559
that they think an entire jury would convict one on.

320
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:04.759
But I would love to see plea bargains go away

321
00:23:05.039 --> 00:23:11.119
when it comes to cases where it involves underage folks.

322
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:13.960
I would love to see that. But she does cop

323
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.599
quite the plea bargain, and I have no doubt that

324
00:23:17.640 --> 00:23:22.799
her beauty played a major role in her Sweeter than

325
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:28.440
Sweet deal. Briann Altez, she cries as she pleaded guilty

326
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:33.759
to three counts of second degree felony forcible sexual abuse,

327
00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:39.400
and it's part of that deal, eleven felony charges were

328
00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:45.279
completely dismissed related to the allegations that the former English

329
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.480
teacher had sexual relationships with three teen boys beginning in

330
00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:54.119
twenty thirteen. Those charges included counts of first degree sidomy

331
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:57.920
and rape, and they come with life sentences, as well

332
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.000
as charges of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, in

333
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:07.079
dealing in harmful material to a minor, texting them new pics,

334
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:10.599
et cetera. The former teacher admitted in a plea agreement

335
00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:14.799
document that she touched the genitals of the three individuals

336
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:20.200
from January to September of twenty thirteen. And at this

337
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:24.480
point she's facing one to fifteen years for each of

338
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:30.119
the three counts, but she came from facing life in prison.

339
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.920
So now we just wait for the sentencing. And now

340
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:37.839
tis she sends a letter to the judge just prior

341
00:24:37.880 --> 00:24:43.000
to that sentencing. Very smart girl as far as education

342
00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:47.119
is concerned. And I'm going to read you the letter

343
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:53.119
she sent to that judge, Dear honorable Judge K. And incidentally,

344
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:56.119
this is May twenty eighth of twenty fifteen. I know

345
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:58.359
you are busy, and I don't want to take up

346
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:00.559
too much of your time. However, where I have a

347
00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:03.720
few things i'd like to inform you of. First, I'm

348
00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:08.240
writing this letter out of sincerity. It's not propelled by panic.

349
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:11.839
I can't begin to imagine the type of pressure day

350
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.279
to day you are under making decisions a greatly impact

351
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:21.079
a person's forcible future. That can't be easy. Secondly, i'd

352
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.200
like to let you know a little bit about me,

353
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:27.039
the real me that, in turn, I hope helps you

354
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.880
with this sentencing decision you have before you. It's humbling

355
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:33.640
to even write this letter to you. Over a year

356
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.079
ago when all this began, it led a fire under me.

357
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.920
The guilt and sorrow I felt for everyone was intense.

358
00:25:41.079 --> 00:25:43.480
I had to choose what to focus on and to

359
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:47.039
be able to take responsibility and get through this in

360
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.680
a healthy way. I needed to be accountable, still be

361
00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:54.160
an active mother while starting a new career. At the

362
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:58.160
same time, somehow leave my family through what is to

363
00:25:58.200 --> 00:26:02.839
become the most difficult situation my family has faced. I

364
00:26:02.920 --> 00:26:05.759
decided that I needed to focus on a solution in

365
00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:09.799
order to mend and fix the problem. The problem, however,

366
00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:14.160
had to be identified to find a positive, healthy solution.

367
00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:19.519
Taking responsibility for what was happening began the healing process

368
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.680
and earned back the life that I worked hard for

369
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:27.039
years was important. I began by seeking counseling, feeling that

370
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.440
I needed to take a good look at myself to

371
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.240
figure out how I had gotten to that place in

372
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:37.400
my life. To let this happen, it was critical. After

373
00:26:37.480 --> 00:26:40.680
some time, and began to emerge that the struggles which

374
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:43.599
I had previously been going through in my twelve year

375
00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:47.799
marriage were strong contributors to the poor decisions I was making.

376
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.200
It was a hard reality to face, but in order

377
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:54.559
to find a way to make amends and move forward,

378
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.720
I had to Realizing I had the power to choose

379
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:02.319
a different mindset and create a healthy motivation was empowering.

380
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:05.640
These struggles and poor decisions had altered who I was

381
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.599
and had a hand in the decline of my core

382
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:11.960
values for a portion of time. When I was able

383
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:15.200
to better understand what had caused this, I was able

384
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:20.319
to begin to move forward. I then took action to change.

385
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.000
It was time to focus on the solution I spoke

386
00:27:23.039 --> 00:27:27.039
of earlier. I started researching and networking to make connections

387
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.759
and build the appropriate relationships with people to start to

388
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:35.400
develop a cell phone slash email technology bill focusing on

389
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:39.799
that venue of communication between teacher and student. I began

390
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:43.279
looking into this because I believe it's where the problems

391
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:46.839
can begin and escalate from there. I'd like to be

392
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:50.039
able to be an advocate resource and help the prevention

393
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:54.279
of future situations such as this. I was also in

394
00:27:54.319 --> 00:27:57.839
the process of meeting with program writers to help brainstorm

395
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.079
software ideas to piggyback on the bill. Combine a texting

396
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:05.599
