Brittany Fortinberry, 31, of Martinsville, allegedly sexually abused multiple students, giving them drugs and sending the teens raunchy nude photos of herself, her sex toys and a stripper pole.

The blond educator allegedly told detectives that her actions were triggered by her massive weight loss. She said she now “regrets the day she lost weight.” Fortinberry told shocked detectives she had lost 150 pounds.

Fortinberry was ultimately fired from her teaching position at Eminence High School in late August. She now faces sexual abuse charges.

Her undoing began when two students alleged she sent them raunchy images including nude photos of herself, the stripper pole and her vast collection of sex toys.

According to court documents, one 17-year-old boy told cops about his “buddy telling him about a comment that she made about her wanting to have sex with them, and dreaming about it.”

He said: “It was child molestation and he’s there because he doesn’t want her to molest more kids. It was no different than a 30-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl.”

Using social media site Snapchat, the boy said Fortinberry began sending the raunchy photos before engaging in the illicit encounters. She provided drugs and warned she’d kill herself if the one boy blabbed.

Fortinberry faces charges including sexual misconduct with a minor, harmful material dissemination to a minor, and contributing to minor delinquency. The investigation is ongoing.

TEACHER/ BEAUTY ADVISOR: Dulce Flores allegedly had sex romps with one of her students.Meanwhile, a California teacher is in hot water for having sex with a 17-year-old male student at Riverbank High School in 2023. It is the second teacher sex scandal to hit the school in the past few years.

Dulce Flores, 28, was arrested after she allegedly engaged in “an inappropriate” sexual relationship with the student. Her LinkedIn profile said she had taught Spanish at the school since 2016.

In addition, Flores claimed she was a beauty advisor to a cosmetics company.

The teacher was arrested at her home and charged with one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, police said. The school board said Flores had been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.

Flores was booked into Stanislaus County Jail on a $20,000 bail after deputies received a warrant for her arrest. Her alleged illicit activities came to light after she was reported to the school board.

In 2023, Riverbank High School’s former basketball coach was arrested for having sex with a 16-year-old student. Logan Nabors, 23 at the time of his arrest, faces charges related to unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor and oral copulation. The alleged relationship took place from 2017 to 2018.
