Epidemic of Female Teachers Who Rape Their Male Students

WASHINGTON / April 9, 2026 – The sordid accounts of female teachers who engage in sexual misconduct their male students are appearing with increasing regularity in the media. These four incidents were reported in just the last 10 days:

Haley Beck, Peoria, AZ – Over a six-week period, Beck exchanged more than 4,000 text messages about sexual and illegal activity with a male student at Centennial High School (1).
Marie Donaldson, San Simon, AZ – The woman had her teaching license revoked after she was accused on 10 counts of inappropriate sexual contact with a male high school student (2).
Ashley Fisler, Washington, NJ – Charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a preteen boy, Judge William Ziegler denied the middle school teacher’s request to be released from jail until her trial took place (3).
Tera Johnson-Swartz, Douglas County, CO – The woman was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being charged on two criminal counts — the first following a grand jury investigation into her relationship with the teen, and the second for continuing to contact the boy, despite court orders not to (4).

One nation-wide analysis conducted in 2022 identified 262 school personnel in nearly every state in the country who had been arrested on child sex crimes. The offenders included 290 teachers, 26 substitute teachers, 25 teachers’ aides, five principals, and three assistant principals (5).

Sexual misconduct by teachers has become so widespread that a “Teacher Accountability System” has now been established (6). The online database currently lists over 17,000 cases in all 50 states. The free resource is updated on an ongoing basis, and allows searches on a broad range of variables.

In her contacts with imprisoned female sex offenders, psychotherapist Stacy Kaiser has made these observations (7):

The most common profile of a female sex predator is a white woman in her 30s.
Many of the teacher sex predators used social media to connect with their victims outside the classroom setting.
Some female sex predators don’t think they committed any kind of crime.

Media accounts often downplay the severity of the allegation, relying on headlines that avoid the word, “rape,” and instead refer to the assault as “having sex.” (8)

Research reveals a broad range of harmful effects on male students who are victims of sexual misconduct. These include psychological and mental health harms, intimacy issues, substance abuse and suicide risks, and academic impacts (9).

Americans should take seriously the harmful impact of female-perpetrated sexual violence on young men.
