A 27-year-old teacher has been arrested for allegedly having sex with one of her own teenage students.

The boy of 16 told police their relationship, which officers believe may have gone on for over a month, blossomed in her car.

Ashley Blumenshine was arrested behind a department store in Plainfield, Illinois, after police caught her in a car with the teen. Police believe that they had had sex shortly before the officers arrived.

The high school teacher is being held in custody, charged with having sex with the student. Her attorney said she is innocent.

She taught dance and physical education at Plainfield North High School for four years and is known for her popularity. The boy is a junior at the school. Plainfield North High School graduate Michael Deland said: “I remember she’s a really nice lady.”

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Mary Fillipitch said both occupants admitted they had just engaged in consensual sexual intercourse. A condom was taken as evidence from the vehicle.

The following day, the Will County State’s Attorney’s office charged Blumenshine with aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

The aggravated criminal sexual abuse charge is a felony punishable by three to seven years in prison. Blumenshine is not married and, her attorney says, has no criminal history.
