Altice has been charged for having sex with a student multiple times.

Earlier this year she was already found guilty of having sex with other students.

In a handwritten response to the prosecution, Altice defends her actions, saying she had no “evil intent.”

She says in the letter that the student (in this particular lawsuit) was her defender, and stood up for her when other students made inappropriate sexual remarks.

She said that the student then came to her to ask for advice on dealing with his parents, and that she eventually fell for him.

“Ms. Altice expressed and advised [the boy] to communicate with his parents and continue to do his best in school,” Altice penned herself.

Altice went on to say that the student’s grades actually improved as the year — and their sexual affair — went on.
