Married Indiana teacher Brittany Fortinberry made her harem of barely teen boys wear Scream masks during group sex sessions, according to court documents.

Now, five new alleged victims have emerged with explosive sexual abuse allegations.
One boy told sex crimes detectives that the teacher had reached out to him following a misconduct probe. She allegedly spent $600 on the boy and his buddies. He said she made the boys wear the masks from the horror movie Scream during a group sex session.
According to the boy, Fortinberry invited him to bring his buddies to her home where they would do drugs.
Fortinberry then allegedly had sex with all of the teens, WTHR reports. And if the boys didn’t have sex with her, she threatened to take her own life.
Court documents allege Fortinberry even drugged one of her victims repeatedly before having sex with him.
But before the sexual abuse, Fortinberry would allegedly tuck her own children into bed. One of her alleged victims babysat her children while another claimed Fortinberry offered the teens between $100 and $800 for photos of their genitals.
Even if the boys didn’t want sex, she allegedly would rape them with the instruction: “Just let it happen.” In addition, she is accused of sending the teens nude and explicit photos and videos of herself on Snapchat and another app called Session.
Prosecutors have now increased Fortinberry’s bond from $20,000 to $150,000. Police believe there could be as many as 10 alleged victims.
Most of the parents were in the dark until the teacher was arrested but one father claimed Fortinberry’s husband was aware of her twisted actions. He allegedly “threatened to slaughter (the teen) in front of her if he came forward.”
Fortinberry was charged in February and according to media reports blamed her ravenous sexual appetite on her 150-pound weight loss.
Late Tuesday, prosecutors filed a motion to add 10 counts of child molestation, eight counts of dissemination of matter harmful to a minor, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor.
Fortinberry was previously charged with three counts of sexual misconduct, one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors, and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Meanwhile, disturbing texts have emerged that were allegedly sent from a Chicago teacher to one of her 15-year-old pupils and players on the soccer team she coached.
Christina Formella, 30, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting the boy. The twisted affair came to light when the boy’s mom discovered lurid sexual messages on her son’s phone.
In one missive, the boy calls Formella “mama” and professes his undying love.
She allegedly replied: “I love you sooooo much baby… Even though this morning was short, it was perfect.”
The boy responded: “I know baby it was perfect baby so perfect.”
Then Formella wrote: “I love having sex with you,.”
The teen wrote back: “I know baby I love it so much… It feels so good… It’s so passionate. .. It’s so intimate … It’s so perfect.”
His mother confronted the boy about the messages and the next day reported the alleged sexual abuse to the police. Formella has been arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and one of criminal sexual assault.
According to cops, the sexual relationship started when the teen stayed after class for tutoring. The pair began having sex in the classroom sometime in December 2023.
DuPage County Attorney Robert Berlin said: “The allegations against Ms. Formella are extremely disturbing. It is alleged that she used her position of trust and authority as a tutor and a coach to sexually assault a minor student.
“The type of abuse and behaviour alleged in this case will not be tolerated.”
For her part, Formella claimed she never sexually assaulted the boy and that “everybody comes after her because she is good-looking.” The only thing she was guilty of, she said, was caring too much about the boy.
The teen was blackmailing her, she added.
