Fortinberry, a substitute math teacher at Martinsville Schools, was charged in August 2024 with crimes against three students, including sexual misconduct, per People. New claims involve five more victims accusing her of rape, sexual exploitation, and drugging them with alcohol and mushrooms, as noted by The New York Post. Court records say she pressured boys into group sex, sometimes in a Scream mask, and threatened suicide if they told anyone, according to The Daily Mail. She now faces 10 counts of child molestation, eight counts of harmful content distribution, and more, per The Independent.
Fortinberry allegedly paid boys for explicit photos and used substances to control them, as reported by OutKick. One victim described her taking them to a mall, then pressuring them for group sex, per People. Her husband reportedly knew of some behavior, complicating the case, as noted by The Daily Mail.
