Business teacher, 38, could face prison for ‘kissing and inappropriately touching’ her teen boy student

A former Morton, Illinois, teacher is facing charges following allegations she engaged in sex abuse of a male student, News Break reports.

The incident between the Morton, Illinois, high school business teacher and the student allegedly occurred in September.

Erin Kemp, 38, was slapped with a subpoena earlier this month.

The former Morton, Illinois, teacher was ordered to appear in Tazewell County Circuit Court for her alleged sex crime.

A conviction on the sex abuse charge could put the the Morton, Illinois, teacher away for seven years.

Or, if the judge is more lenient with Kemp, she could get off with just probation.

Kemp was a business teacher at Morton High School in Illinois before her downfall following sex-abuse charges, Patch reports.

She resigned from her post in September, shortly after the scandal broke.

Hill’s statement did not clarify any details about the exact nature of the sex abuse allegedly committed by the Morton, Illinois, teacher.

Kemp first began working as a teacher in the Morton, Illinois, school district in 2007 — a career soon destroyed by the sex abuse allegations.

During the last school year, she received about $70,000 in salary and benefits. 

The Journal Star was able to learn that Kemp told school officials that she kissed the student in question and touched him in an inappropriate way.

When questioned by the Morton, Illinois, school officials, the student ultimately disclosed that the teacher had sexually preyed upon him.

The student permitted a forensic download of his phone.

There, investigators found sexualized text messages between the Morton, Illinois, teacher and her student.

Kemp expressed numerous romantic fantasies about herself and the child as well as worries that the boy would leave her in the dust in the end, Week.com reports.
