Texas art teacher, 51, who was ‘mean to the girls but nice to the boys’ has been arrested for sexually assaulting a male student
A Texas art teacher was arrested Thursday after he was discovered by officers having “sexual contact” with a student at a home under construction.
Jennifer Massey, 51, was a visual arts teacher at Comal County High School.
Parents on Facebook were shocked and outraged by this news, but not all were surprised.
Under the Comal County Sheriff’s Office after of the incident, one parent wrote, “She was also my daughter’s art teacher in high school years ago. My daughter said she was mean to the girls and very nice to the boys, now we know she was ‘grooming’ them. Poor boy.’
Another wrote: “What’s even worse is that her own daughter is a freshman and she calls her students ‘school sons and school daughters.’

The incident occurred a week after the identity of a teacher who had sexual contact with a 15-year-old student was released after a gag order restricted the publication of her name and the school involved was revoked by the court.
Petra Shasha, 28, was found guilty in the ACT Supreme Court last week of sexually abusing, grooming and assaulting the schoolboy.
Her name was already known when she was arrested in February 2022, which meant the end of the ‘relationship’ she had built with the then 15-year-old.
The court heard Shasha first formed a bond with the St Edmunds College student when she worked as a trainee teacher at the school for three weeks in late 2020.
Despite being 24 at the time, Shasha and the boy grew so close that the teen thought they were a couple.
