An alleged pervert teacher told a court it was unconstitutional to charge her with having ‘deviant’ sex with a sports star schoolboy.

Taylor Brooks Boyles, 30, offered the astonishing defense to claims she had full sex with the 18 year-old boy at a hearing on Wednesday.

Defense attorney Mark Dutton told Lawrence County Circuit Court in Moulton, Alabama, that state laws banning sex between teachers and students aged under 19 were vague and ran contrary to the US Constitution.

Dutton said Boyles’ alleged victim was old enough to go to war, and that he was two years over the Alabama age of consent at the time of the spring 2017 encounters.




Many US states, including Alabama, make sex between adult authority figures and teens a criminal offense even if the victims are over the age of consent.

Dutton added: ‘There’s no physical evidence.

‘No dirty sheets, no dirty underwear…

‘No substantial evidence was produced.’

Boyles is accused of having oral sex and sexual intercourse with the boy on two occasions a week apart at her house, when she was 27 and he was 18.

The former teacher, who taught math at Moulton Middle School, let him stay the night afterwards, it is claimed.

Boyles’ alleged victim, who Metro US has chosen not to name, attended the nearby Lawrence County High School at the time, where he was a star basketball player.

Decatur Daily reported that he also testified in court Wednesday, and confirmed to jurors that both sexual encounters had happened.

The alleged victim, who is now 21, said he knew Boyles was a teacher, and added that she knew he was a student at the time.

Their encounters were reported to school Superintendent Jon Bret Smith in an anonymous voicemail in May 2017.

Recalling a meeting with Boyle and her principal later that day, Smith told jurors: ‘We went through a variety of topics and I asked if there was any sexual contact and she admitted they had sex.

‘There was a sense of confusion on her part.’

Boyle was escorted from the premises shortly afterwards, and now faces a charge of being a school worker engaging in a sex act and deviant sexual intercourse with a student under 19.

On Monday, jurors were shown a taped confession made to police by Boyle the day after she was fired from her job

Boyles, who has split from her husband, sobbed as the footage was played.

If convicted of the charges she faces she could spend between two and 20 years in jail, face paying up to $30,000 in fines and have to register as a sex offender.

Jurors are set to hear closing arguments in Boyles’ case Thursday.
