HIgh School Teacher Accused of Having Sex With Student After Snapcat Video Surfaces Of Her With Teens

A high-school teacher accused of having sex with an underage student allegedly appeared in a Snapchat video that shows her wearing “a shirt and panties” while boozing it up with two shirtless teens — one of whom bragged of “gettin’ in deep,” according to a report Tuesday.

Samantha Lee Ciotta, 32, could face additional charges based on an investigation of the recording, Patch.com reported.

Police documents obtained by the website say a student at Beaumont (Calif.) High School saw the outrageous video asked the teen who posted it if it showed “Mrs. Ciotta.”

“Yes…Bro, I’m gettin’ in deep…been f—— (Ciotta) and getting threesomes for the past couple weeks (at her house),” the teen reportedly replied.

The other teen who appeared in the video told an unidentified adult that Ciotta — a married mother of two — had sex with a student, the documents reveal.

“If [police] have her phone, then they will find out,” the second teen reportedly added.

During a search of Ciotta’s home, detectives found a “torn-up, hand-written note” that “appeared to be written to Samantha Ciotta’s husband, explaining her relationship” with the boy, described as a 14-year-old whose mom is dead and whose dad is in prison.

Ciotta, of Banning, Calif., allegedly bedded the teen over the course of several months after meeting him in a freshman English class she taught.
