According to investigators, Mallernee began having sex with the 17-year-old male student about two weeks after he arrived at her home. The boy told police that the first incident happened after Mallernee had given him alcohol and coaxed him into her bedroom.
Mallernee and the teen had sex in her home and while on a spring vacation in Florida. On one occasion in April, Mallernee had the boy dismissed from school early and the pair had sex at Mounds State Park, according to court documents.
Police said the boy told them that he tried to end the relationship several times, but Mallernee allegedly threatened to have the boy removed from the home if he stopped having sex with her, law enforcement officials said.
