A teacher had sex with a 14-year-old at least 62 times then threatened to hurt him if he told anyone, police say.

Rochelle Cressman, 32, reportedly began having sex with the boy in September 2018 and sexually abused him twice a week until April – a total of at least 62 encounters, after which boy’s mother discovered the intimate relationship and told authorities.

Cressman, who taught health and physical education at Titusville Middle School, was charged Wednesday with ten counts each of statutory sexual assault and involuntary deviant sexual intercourse with a person less than 16-years-old.

She was also charged with making terroristic threats to the boy. She reportedly told him not ‘to not tell anyone of the relationship and (she) threatened to harm herself and him if anyone were to find out,’ police said, according to the Times Observer.




Cressman also faces 42 counts of indecent assault.

The boy reportedly told Pennsylvania State Police that Cressman initiated the sexual contact. He said that the two had sex at her home and other residences.

He told officers that Cressman had sex with him at least ten times and said that they engaged in other sexual contact as well.
