Five years ago, French teacher Joelle Ogletree was accused of having sex with three students at a high school in Texas. Ogletree, maintaining her innocence, refused to accept the prosecutor’s plea deal, and by the time the trial rolled around, one student admitted to lying and the other two were discredited.

Teacher Joelle Ogletree has sued Texas School District Board for wrongful termination lawsuit. She refused to buckle under enormous pressure and accept a plea bargain that would have avoided an almost certain jail term.
