Two teachers arrested for alleged threesome with 16-year-old student

Rachel Respess Shelley Dufresne teachers alleged threesome

Two Louisiana high school teachers have been arrested after they allegedly had a threesome with a student who was 16-years-old at the time.

23-year-old Rachel Respess and 33-year-old Shelley Dufresne, both English teachers at Destrehan High School in Kenner, Louisiana, have each been charged with carnal knowledge of a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

The student had bragged about having sex with Dufresne and Respess, which led to the start of an investigation at the high school by the police. According to the investigators, the student was invited to the home of Respess after a football game last month. They were then believed to have had sex simultaneously “until the early morning hours.”

The student told the authorities that the sex was consensual.

Per WGNO:

Former students told WGNO the student and both teachers had been involved for some time, meeting for sex multiple times and documenting some of their encounters on video.

According to Dufresne’s Destrehan High profile, she is a Louisiana State University and Destrehan High alum, graduating from DHS in 2000. She is currently in her tenth year as a teacher, is married with three young children, and is the daughter of St. Charles Parish Judge Emile St. Pierre.

Rachel Respess’s profile revealed she began her second year at DHS and is also an LSU and Destrehan High alum, graduating high school in 2008.

Kenner Police Chief Michael Glaser said, “No matter what sex the victim is, everyone should be outraged. You have educators whose responsibility is the safety of children.”

During a news conference it was revealed that Respess was the student’s English teacher in 2013 while Dufresne is the student’s current English teacher.

Public information director for St. Charles Parish Public Schools, Stevie Crovetto, confirmed that both teachers have been suspended without pay.

The attorney for Respess says that she maintains her innocence.
