A former high school teacher has settled a lawsuit with a student she was convicted of sexually abusing
Brianne Altice is a former high school teacher who’s decided that in order to leave her past in the past then she better go ahead and settle a lawsuit that was brought against her by a former student who she was convicted of sexually abusing back in 2015.
Now, things like how much money the student and his lawyer get and what everybody can and can’t say aren’t being told to anybody who isn’t a party to the lawsuit.
And the reason why all of that is more than likely being kept a secret is because everybody involve want to leave that episode of their lives in the past. And hey, who can blame them? It’s quite embarrassing, for Brianne Altice, that is.
Altice was an English teacher who taught at Davis High School in Utah. She was married and had a dog, I think. But for some reason or another, Altice decided she’d start sleeping with a 16-year-old boy and two 17-year-old boys.
She was sleeping with them during lunchtime, in the church parking lot, and she even slept with one of the boys at his house.
Let Altice tell it, she was in a bad place emotionally which prevented her from fully comprehending her actions of being a grown woman messing around with three teenage boys.
Here’s what the KTSU folks quoted her telling Robert Yeates who is the vice chairman of Utah’s Board of Pardons and Parole:
“Did you grasp the gravity of this?” is what Yeates said.
“I don’t believe I did…They said this and that and made me feel
good about myself so I justified everything…There’s no
justification for it,” is how Altice responded.
Altice’s saying, “There’s no justification for it,” does nothing but add salt on the wounds because she knew what she was doing when she decided to “do” three teenage boys during lunchtime, in the church parking lot, and one in his house.
And let me tell you something folks, that whole mess about making her feel good about herself is nothing but potpourri sprayed over funk. Ain’t nothing a 1998 or a 1999 baby can tell a 1980 baby that will make her “feel good” about herself. That woman just wanted to do the “no no” with those children.
Come to think of it, ol’ girl got caught having sex with one of the boys while she was out on bail. Needless to say, the little sex ed classes she had going on led to her getting a new home in the state pen. They got her on three counts of forcible sex abuse which is a second degree felony. That there also led to two of the victims filing a lawsuit against her and the Davis School District.
One of the boys dropped his lawsuit. Why he dropped it? I don’t know. But what I can tell y’all is that the school district is a part of the state and the state gets qualified immunity. And due to Altice’s position, at the time, as an English teacher working for a state institution, Davis High School, she was also covered by qualified immunity.
Some of y’all are asking, “What is qualified immunity?” Qualified immunity means a person can’t sue the state if the person can’t prove that the state knowingly and willingly neglected its duty in educating and protecting the students under its care.
Let me tell you folks, that is a high bar for any plaintiff to meet. The plaintiff in the case must pass the strict scrutiny test. And the strict scrutiny test is nearly impossible for any plaintiff to pass. The court wants a plaintiff to have airtight evidence, like recordings of somebody high up in the state saying it’s part of a teacher’s duty to have sex with as many young boys as she can.
Now, I know that it’s reasonable for a person to think that the circumstances surrounding the case and the fact that the lawsuit filed by the two boys is a civil suit, then the level of scrutiny shouldn’t be so high. But, it is. And it sucks.
The only good thing is that the one young fella who continued on with his case was able to settle his civil suit.
The bad news, of course, is that all of the young boys will have to live with the horrible experience of being Brianne Altice’s victims.
Back on September 10, 2019, Altice got out on parole after serving almost five years.
The KTSU folks say that Altice’s completion of programs, like her work with Canines with A Cause which pairs sheltered dogs with military veterans who suffered from emotional and psychological trauma, were factors in the parole board’s decision in releasing her.
The information about Brianne Altice’s settlement with one of her victims was obtained from an article titled “Lawsuit settled over ex-Davis High teacher convicted of sexually abusing students” by Ben Winslow of KTSU.
