Ponca City, Oklahoma -- (The Weekly Vice) -- Ashley Renee Flores, a 26 year old former teacher at East Junior High School in Ponca City, Oklahoma has been arrested on accusations of repeatedly raping a 14-year-old student - even while her own children were in the home.
According to police, Flores had sex on at least 6 occasions during the summer with a 14-year-old former student.
Investigators say the relationship began when Flores provided her cell phone number to the boy and the two began communicating in early July.
According to the court affidavit, Flores and the student engaged in sexual acts on "six to eight" different occasions during the month of July. Investigators say the sexual activity took places at various locations, included Flores own home while the children were in the house.
Police say Flores also encouraged the student to lie to his parents about his whereabouts, including a sleepover on at least one occasion.
School officials were not aware of the investigation until Flores submitted her resignation in July, according to Ponca City Superintendent David Pennington.
"We have a lot of great teachers in the district who do a great job every day," said Pennington. "This hurts the reputation of all of us and it saddens us."
Flores was arrested on four counts of second-degree rape, forcible sodomy and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. She has been ordered held on a $25,000 bond. She is scheduled to appear for a hearing conference on January 16.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
This case is a regular garden variety teacher sex scandal in most every way except one.
Normally, a case like this would go to court, and the teacher - because she is a female - would walk away with little or no jail time.
This case will not end that way, because of one single detail. Can you guess what detail that would be?
The fact that this woman had sex while her own children were in the house will be the detail that a defense attorney will not begin to argue around.
The defense would normally argue that this mother needs a shorter jail sentence, because she has children to raise - and locking this woman up for years over a one time "mistake" would have consequences that effect innocent kids.
Since the kids were in the house - that whole argument goes out the window. It's obvious that this woman's judgment as a mother is seriously lacking at least in this area.
If the charges are substantiated, I think this woman will be mopping jail house floors for several years - not months.

The kid obviously wanted this relationship, yet they are calling it "rape" Please. I was a teenager when I had an affair with a very attractive young teacher and it was great. I would have been all over that even if I was under 18 (a "child" .... give me a break). If you asked the kid, he would say, "Hey, what's the big deal, I was having a wonderful time until you bastards interfered".
I hope your profession has nothing to do with children, either directly or indirectly. Talk about a kid wanting to be raped, how about the guy in Vermont who convinced a kid that he was - in your words - having a relationship with to help him kidnap his niece so that he could rape and murder her! Did the kid WANT that relationship, too? Or does your comment only apply to boys? People like you should be put on a list of potential pedophiles. A $25,000 Bail is TOO LOW! Society needs to send a message to these low-lifes. Abuse a child and there will be hell to pay!
Mrs.Flores was my math teacher last year, the same time the boy had her as a teacher. She isn't a bad person at all...she was 1 of the best teachers I had. She made class so much fun, but the boy couldn't have been raped I mean seriously I know that kid and I know Mrs.Flores she wouldn't do such a thing. She wouldn't force anybody to do anything, is you weren't feeling up to work and was having a bad day she wouldn't make you do the work right then, so how could she hold that boy down who is indeed quite strong and force him to have sex? She couldn't, and as for her loving her children and being a good mother, she was. She took very good care of those kids she loves them to pieces!! I think it was wrong of her to have relations with a student BUT she shouldn't be getting charged with second-degree rape honestly this shouldn't even have been a big deal. Or atleast I don't think so.
This case is hard because I once was a TENN a Horny one and i had SEX a Lot.......... w a older woman at 14 yes i did. She wasn't my teacher but she Knew me and she did not rape me.
I think many of you are confusing what constitutes rape in this type of situation. Simply coercion of sexual acts and encouraging the deception of the parents is rape. It's not just sneaking into a window and holding someone at knifepoint. The argument is that the child was unable to understand the severity of the act and thus was raped.
If some grown man talked your 14 year old daughter into giving over her virginity would you call it rape or just some consensual sex that got found out about.
Or more accurately in this context.
Raping by force is charged as Forcible rape or aggravated rape.
In this case, it's statutory rape. Having sex with a minor who has not reached the age of consent.
If the boy HAD reached the age of consent, then the charge would be sexual abuse of a minor by a person in a position of trust.
The burden of proof here is not that the teacher forced herself on the student, but that the minor was too young to have sex with, meriting statutory rape.
Ever heard the phrase 16 gets you 20? Well in some states you have to say 15 or 14 gets you 20, because the legal age of consent is lower.
Many of you make very good points about Ashley and the situation she has landed herself in. I grew up w/ her and her brothers and all the years I have known her, I would have never thought she would be capable of this. It makes me sick to see for a lack of a better word a "child" being taking advantge of. Do I think she needs to be punished? Yes, I do, the only thing I worry about is her kids, they are the sweetest childern I know. Every1 forgets that in cases such as this there are more than one "victam". You have both families and the kids that are suffering cause mommy did something bad. So I just ask that we all keep the families and her childern in our prayers.
What people don't understand is that Ashley was in a marriage with a hispanic male who was abusive, dominating and her self esteem since the divorce in April has been at an all time low. He physically and emotionally destroyed the Ashley everyone knew and loved. This kid knew the situation and took her cell phone and called her number so he would have it for the summer to start his move to control the situation. Yes Ashley was the adult and should have been able to say no, no, no. But remember the marriage and how she was made to do everything she was told to. She was scared. The Teachers can tell you how this ex-husband was and how he came to the school to attack and destroy her. the students that were at East can tell you the same. This girl was manipulated once more by a minor, but she will pay the price. he will be out Hi Fiving his buddies and letting them know how big a stud he is. Remember we can try students as adults. we have done it. The trial will bring allot out.
How does her "abusive marriage" contribute to this at all? SHE got into the abusive relationship and allowed her husband to treat her that way and now you are saying it's her ex-husband's fault that she made an error in judgment?? Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibilities and obviously she didn't know that. You people on here trying to defend her and make her out to be "such a loving sweet person", well maybe she is, but a TEACHER makes her students do their work, everyday! A TEACHER does not invite her 14 year old student over to engage in sex acts, and a PARENT sure in the heck doesn't allow her children to be home while doing so!! I don't care how it happened, who initiated it or who did what to whom, I applaud these parents for taking it to the police and for once I applaud our law and court systems for prosecuting!!!!
the statement two posts up is about the most ridiculous statement I think I've read here.
1. The allegation that her husband was abusive is an ALLEGATION. Was he charged for domestic violence? Were you there watching all of this or are you assuming it?
2. You want us to believe a kid, a young kid at that, orchastrated this grand plot to seduce a teacher who was lured to her doom unwittingly? Get real.
It's always the kid's fault... in all of these cases it's always the kid's fault... never the adult's fault.
She knew it was wrong. She knew it was illegal. She did it anyway - and did it again and again and again.
all of you need to watch what you say on here. Please let this issue die what you forget is that parents read this. parents that talk to their kids and kids that go to school with her kids so lets just all know she will get what she deserves and be glad that none of us have to make this choice. everyone on here has half truths and no one understands all the facts about this case. so lets just let God handle this in his way through our court system thanks
"so lets just let God handle this in his way through our court system thanks"
Please leave me out of it. This woman has an affinity for mating with everyone and anyone. Not my fault. Btw,I have no faith in your justice system.
Ashley might have been in an abusive marriage, she is attractive, and given the opportunity, she could have any guy in Ponca, and be willing to play dumb as she "taught" class. With all of the horny guys and pervs that are on the internet, she could have gotten a big dildo, turn on the cam worked that cunt like its 1969...
I too have known Ashley for many years and still think I'll wake up and it won't be true. This just isn't in her character. Yes the boy concented and yes the boy went back for more but that's no excuse. As an adult, a teacher and mother your first responsibility is to the children in your care. The boy included in the word CHILDREN. I know how she was raised, I know her family, she knew better. Do I think she should be locked up, I'm torn between an old friend and what she did was wrong. I too am 26, my step-son is 13 and I couldn't imagine seeing any of his friends as anything other than kids. Horny kids yes, but still KIDS. She deserves punnishment but how harsh should be highly thaught upon.
I'd hit this lil pedo hottie! Ah and if it isn't my good cock-loving friend, maxx! yet more evidence that you are a woman-hating homosexual! she is an attractive girl and the "boy" in question manned up and took care of that vajay-jay! yeah homie!
Choco,
I assume you meant "rooster"-loving friend in that last post. Please curb the language. Google is forcing our site to clean up the language here a bit...We've already been warned penalized for it, and I'll have delete posts that use foul language.
Just damp it down a bit, please
Ok, Ashley is not a bad person and all she did was fill a little horny kids needs!!!! whats wrong with that if you went down to the school and ask people if they ever had SEX a bunch of them would say yes!!!!! So are you doing to charge every body with RAPE and oral Sodomy Or just the loving Good Hearted Mothers????? I have a feeling that the courts will be a little ridiculous on her, but what about the kid??? The "Victim" was stated to be bigger and stronger than she was how do you know that he wasn't raping her???? He could have said that he needed help on something and came over and raped her???? Her abusive marriage could have played a big role in, maybe she has a fear of men. And what does her being hot have to do except say that that might have been the kids motive for RAPE?????
you know what i feel you all should go to hell she is a caring mother and devoted to her childerens life when i was growing up i always looked up to her and like the last comment said how do you know that the kid didnt rape her she is my cousin and im proud to stand up and say so she was in a hard relationship im not going to say what she did wasnt wrong but come on the damn kid gave consent take it as that
@ the comment above...
So if a 5 year old gives consent, it's okay for your cousin to rape him too? So long as the victim says "rape me" then everything is just fine with you, eh?
Sickness obviously runs in the family.
She was in a hard relationship.....therefor raping a boy is okay?
It's clear this whole family is twisted. See, even young people in her family are buying into the rape of children.
The judge needs to send a very clear message to this family so this crap doesn't continue. It's obvious that none of them have any respect for the law...
He's a Damn Kid?
Yeah, I think the judge needs to know the attitude behind this. Blaming the victim..... an underaged child....is a very good sign she'll do it again.
You know, I have got to add my two cents worth...
We all know there is followers and leaders. Dominates and submissive. Dependents and co-dependents.
It is from my limited knowledge and understanding the Hispanic male tendencies is to have control of the woman and situation.
There is the possibility she found herself submitting. I don't know her but I'm sure not every woman goes out and decides she wants to seduce a young male. If the young stud has an assertive personality she obviously let her guard and boundaries down.
Kids have a way of manipulating situations also.
So you have a woman with low self esteem who devotes her time being a teacher and mother. Intimacy was probably the last thing on her mind but she begin to let her guard down and wanted or needed someone she thought she could trust. (Just wished it had been an adult) A bad decision she unfortunately will pay for with her family and her job.
Before you say anything, each one of us has standards and sometimes we find that we don't necessarily make great decisions under stress.
I do have three sons, I do believe staying within the law and ethics.
What I do question is the young ones that are within 2-3 years of each other and the young boy gets canned because the parents get upset. We know the young girls like the boys and call them sending naked pics. My husband at one time worked in the prison system and have seen the young men in there.
I also know at a very young age the males are immature and like to brag. It didn't matter if you gave it up or didn't. They did not want anyone to think that they struck out. So even while I was in high school I avoided them.
you people can say whatever the hell you want im not saying it was right and yes it was sick but im sure theres alot of other people out there that has done the same shit and they are actually people who are twisted so say what you want shes my cousin i dont have to like what she did but i still love her and i wont stand for people talking trash about her
Oh, now it's the "other people have done this heinous crime so it's not all that bad" defense.
Or the "since she's my cousin, she's not as bad as the other twisted people who do the same thing" rational..
Here's a news flash for you.
Your cousin *is* one of those twisted people you keep talking about.
It's like an alcoholic refusing to believe he/she has a drinking problem.
hey all of those who care and those who dont. my name is ashley feuerborn, i spent 2 months with ashley flores in jail. and i tell you one thing. i was EXTREMLY messed up in the head. b4 i came in. hell. there is no words to describe who i was i did evrything in the book and live to not brag about it. when i met ashley, she was the most inspiring, itelligent,caring,sweet,loving,understanding person ive ever met. im so glad to meet someone as good as she is.. you know.... im not a judgmental kind of person at all, i hold no grudge nor do i have an opinion(even in my mind) on the case, i would never say it was rape because I KNOW HER. as a freind, the only person i talk to, my best friend. and i couldnt have made it in jail with absolutlety no outside support without her. i was going through extremely hard times and she would sit for hours telling me things, that inspired me to think twice b4 i get on the corner.. think twice before i bang some dope in my arm. before im sleeping in the alleys of streets, and doing anything for a dollar, stealing for food to survive. i doubt people.. i didnt trust no one and ashley helped me put my wall down. and come out. alot of things i wouldnt tell a soul.. and i love her extremely and i support her fully. and i hope she makes the best out of her stay at where she is at now. i know.. but i will not publicize her personal information because i care. she motivated me to become who i am today, and i am so happy to meet her, and like i think all things happen for a reason. we came together on a journey together for a reason. and i tell you one thing,it was a VERY GOOD reason.
i just wish things wouldnt have went down like this i wish i was there to support her in the rough times she had at the time of the act, because im here for her. like she was there for me.. i love her,
honestly,
ashley feuerborn

Ashley is the sweestest person you would ever meet. No her family aren't perverts. they are not sick. They are good people. Her kids are good kids. I know because i am raising them right now. Ashley will be in jail for 5 years, and the same Judge and D.A who gave that to Ashley also tried to drunk driving murderers that got less than 1 year. This boy that is so innocent stole Ashleys phone from her purse and called his own cell phone so he would have her number to start his little manipulation. No he is not a sweet little 14 year old boy. I don't condone her actions and i do know that she was sick at the time. she did go through a very hard divorce and her self esteem was at its lowest. She was getting domestic violence counseling for herself and the kids. She was also very depressed and was being seen for that also. I just hope and pray that any of you have to go through this. I will tell you she has helped over 40 people get their GED's through the prison system. Thanks for your time.
