Woman accused of sending male students obscene text messages

Jaime Katheryn Steen, A former Texas high school teacher faces a misdemeanor charge for allegedly sending pornographic images in text messages to male students.

Jaime Katheryn Steen, 26, was free on $4,000 bond Friday, two days after she turned herself in to authorities.

The first-year teacher worked at Fort Stockton High School in southwest Texas. She resigned Wednesday.

It was alleged that sometime in September that Steen, an agriculture teacher, had "taken five boys on an unauthorized school trip out in the country," Hernandez said. It was alleged that Jaime Katheryn Steen bought a six-pack of alcoholic beverages for the students, which they drank and went on their trip, he said. The boys were ages 15, 16 and 17, Hernandez said.
