Jennifer Fichter: Teacher Sentenced To 22 Years In Prison For Having Intercourse With Multiple Students

Jennifer Fichter received a 22-year prison sentence after she admitted to having sex with several of her students. Not only did Fichter have sex dozens of times with three of her students, she also forced the boys, all 17-year-olds at the time, to lie to their families about their clandestine meetings. Fichter also sent the boys explicit text messages — using an alias to cover-up the sexual offenses that she was committing.

According to a report from WTSP, Jennifer Fichter was arrested in April 2014 after admitting to having sex with a student about 30 times in a vehicle in several parking garages. During the investigation, the police discovered that she had had sex with two other students as well.

The first episode of the former teacher’s sexual misconduct dates back to 2008, when Jennifer resigned as a teacher in Orange County after being accused of inappropriate contact with an 8th grader. In 2011, Fichter was hired at the Central Florida Aerospace Academy, which is located in another county.

Jennifer Fichter, 30, worked as an English teacher at Central Florida Aerospace Academy in the city of Lakeland, located just outside of Tampa. It wasn’t long before Fichter found herself in trouble again and in August 2012, allegations of inappropriate Facebook contact with a 17-year-old student surfaced. Authorities investigated the incident, however, no charges were filed.

In April 2014, Fichter was arrested when the mother of one of the victims notified police after finding incriminating text messages between her son and the teacher.

It was later discovered that Fichter had sex with at least three students and even had an ongoing relationship with one that lasted about five months, and it involved a pregnancy and subsequent abortion.

During the sentencing hearing, which was attended by 33 witnesses, relatives of the victims said Fichter destroyed the teenagers’ lives.

“It hurts,” said one mother. “I saw myself losing my son before my very eyes and there was nothing I could do to reach him.”

Fichter also addressed family members of the victims and asked them for forgiveness.”I wish I could take it back, and my words are not going to suffice I know that,” a tearful Fichter said.
