A dental assistant has been charged with rape after she allegedly had sex with three California high school football players who she met while working with the team photographer.
Mary Fletcher, who goes by Debbie, was arrested on Tuesday after police received complaints that she had sexual contact with students on the Mount Shasta High School football team, NBC 5 reported.
Authorities say the 42-year-old mother slept with the students in different parts of Siskiyou County over several weeks. Fletcher has also been accused of dissuading a witness as text messages reportedly show she tried to silence a victim.
The woman has been charged with four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse, also known as statutory rape. The charges include two counts for two victims, and two for the third victim.
Sheriff Jon Lopey told News 10 that text messages and phone calls will serve as evidence to prove Fletcher tried to intimidate one of the teens into keeping quiet.
