Skyview High School in Vancouver, WA did not have a good week last week. I guess that’s what happens when two faculty members are arrested in the same week for separate sex scandals.

On Tuesday, Oct. 5th, 23-year-old band assistant Adrian Kelley was arrested for having sexual relations with two separate 16-year-old female students at the school.  Mr. Kelley graduated from Skyview High School in 2005, and started this school year with the band as a privately paid assistant.  Apparently Mr. Kelley didn’t waste any time in getting to know the students.

One of the students was not a member of the band, but hung out with other students who were involved.  She revealed the relationship to a school counselor, to whom she also told about a member of the band that was also involved with Kelley.  Upon questioning by the police, the 23-year-old initially denied the accusations, but finally relented and admitted to having had physical relations with both students.

Apparently both students friended the former Skyview student on an unnamed social network, progressed to discussing non-school subjects with him, eventually socialized with him and then progressed to sexual relations.

He faces charges for “abuse of trust” which is statute that applies to anyone that works with students.

As if all that wasn’t exciting enough, on Thursday, Oct. 7th, it was revealed that science teacher and coach (boy’s track & football) Nathan Botnen had a sexual relationship with a student during the 2007 – 2008 school year.  It has not been revealed how the relationship with the then 17-year-old student  came to light now, but Mr. Botnen has already appeared before a judge and is being held over for arraignment until Oct. 15th in lieu of $100,000 bail.

The 33-year-old teacher is charged with 30 counts of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor.

The girl graduated in 2008, and the relationship reportedly ended in Aug. 2008.  Somehow text messages between the two were discovered now, and the school immediately contacted the authorities.

It would seem that Skyview High School has some serious problems to deal with.

Both of these men join the ever growing list of teacher sex scandals.
