Brittni Colleps, 28, a former Fort Worth high school teacher, is accused of having group sex with four teenagers while another student videotaped the act.
ARLINGTON POLICE DEPARTMENT/ASSOCIATED PRESSBrittni Nicole Colleps allegedly told one student, "You have something I want."
The former teacher remained silent when asked how she would plead to the charges Tuesday, leaving a judge to register a “not guilty” plea, the Star-Telegram reported. Her attorney didn’t give an opening statement.
Colleps reportedly turned away while the video was played for jurors. The sex romp allegedly occurred in her family’s home while her husband and three young children were out.
During one victim’s testimony, Tarrant County Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Beach asked what occurred that night, NBC 5 reported.
“We all started performing oral sex and having sexual intercourse with her,” he responded.
Another witness, Kennedale High School Principal Rita Whatley, testified that Colleps initially denied the sex allegations when they met in May 2011, according to the Star-Telegram.
Meanwhile, Colleps’ husband, who is serving in the military, has previously said he will stand by his wife.
“I hope you will not pass judgment on her because you don’t have all the facts or details according to this situation,” Christopher Colleps said in May 2011, according to KDFW. “I want you to know I love my wife. I have loved my wife since I laid eyes on her 11 years ago. I have always supported my wife and will continue to support her through this entire ordeal.”
If Colleps is convicted, she faces up to 20 years behind bars and a $10,000 fine for each of the five charges.
