Texas Teacher Arrested for Alleged Sexual Relationship with Student

Molly Colleen Spears, 35, turned herself in nearly a year after being indicted for improper conduct with a male student.

Molly Colleen Spears, a former arts and language teacher at Barbers Hill High School in Mont Belvieu, Texas, is charged with having an improper relationship with a student in June 2023.
Spears allegedly initiated contact with the male student through text messages and an online service; his age has not been disclosed.
A Chambers County grand jury indicted Spears in February 2024, but she was not arrested until February 11, 2025, when she surrendered to authorities.
Spears resigned from her teaching position in June 2023, and her teaching certificate has been inactive since September 2024 due to the ongoing investigation.
If convicted, Spears faces up to 20 years in prison; her attorney stated she intends to contest the charges and resolve the matter.
