Hansen, arrested in June, is scheduled to be
arraigned Thursday on 16 felony counts,
including unlawful sexual intercourse with a
minor, unlawful oral copulation with a
minor, and sending harmful matter to a
minor. If convicted, she could face up to 13
years in state prison.
In a statement released Tuesday, the
Riverside District Attorney's Office said the
alleged crimes took place between May
2012 and May 2013, and occurred "in her
classroom, in a utility room at the school,
in her vehicle while parked near one
victim’s home, and at another victim’s
home." None of the victims were students
that Hansen taught.
Hansen's attorney has maintained her
innocence, and claims that the former
teacher had her phone hacked, according
to the Corona Press-Enterprise. Court
documents obtained by the newspaper tell
a different story.
According to a Corona police declaration,
one of Hansen's victims told a detective
that the teacher had sent him
"inappropriate text messages suggesting
sexual contact" that culminated in the
teacher offering him sex as a prize for
doing well in a baseball game.
An investigation of Hansen was launched in
June after a former student at Centennial
High School came forward and told officials
that he had a sexual relationship with the
teacher.
According to the Press-Enterprise, that
student "told police that while he was 18
and after he graduated, Hansen would
send him sexual text messages and
cellphone photos that showed her in her
underwear. The former student also said
two underage boys told him that they had
had sex with Hansen."
During the course of their investigation, the
police identified multiple victims under the
age of 18.
