GRETNA, La. – Two teachers are accused of having group sex with a student in Louisiana after school officials told authorities the 16-year-old was bragging to his classmates.

Police say Shelley Dufresnei, 32, and Rachel Respess, 24, had sex with the teenager at Respess’ apartment in Kenner, outside New Orleans. They teach at nearby Destrehan High School.

NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports that each posted bond and left jail Thursday.

Dufresne also is accused of having sex with the teenager at her home in Montz.

Both women face charges of carnal knowledge of a juvenile, indecent behavior with a juvenile and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.

Authorities say they were tipped last week when school officials told them one student was bragging to others about a sexual relationship with teachers.
