Ashlyn Faye Bell, an assistant teacher at a Texas high school has been sentenced for having sex multiple times with teen students.

Court records show that Bell was first arrested last summer and formally indicted on October 8, 2020.

According to Heavy.com, Bell worked as a teacher’s assistant at Texas High School, which is part of the Texarkana Independent School District, during the 2019-2020 school year.

Trouble started in June last year when another teacher overheard a group of boys discussing how one of them had hooked up with Bell and could have gotten her pregnant, according to a probable cause affidavit cited by TXK Today. That teacher confronted the boys and police launched an investigation.

During the investigation, the first teen told police that Bell put her baby to bed and then they went into Bell’s bedroom. He said they had sex and then she drove him home.

The second 17-year-old student said he visited Bell at her home multiple times because she was his tutor. He said they hooked up on his third trip to the house.

The third teen, a 16-year-old told police he sent Bell a message over Snapchat on November 22, 2019. He said he wrote that he was coming to see her but that he meant it as a joke. He said Bell responded and picked him up at his house later that night, with her baby in the car seat. He told police they had sex again the following weekend.

Ashlyn Faye Bell, 24, was sentenced this week after she was found guilty of having sex with the students as accused.

She was sentenced to 4 years in prison by an all-female jury. Bell was also recommended probation for two additional counts. She will also be required to register as a sex offender.

The Toronto Sun reported that Bell testified that the boys were the aggressors in the sexual relationships.

She told the court she didn’t know she was prohibited from doing that as a public school employee.

“All you saw in here was a liar when the truth would have been better,” a prosecutor argued. “I’ve heard about all the victim blaming I want to hear.”
