Indiana teacher accused of forcing teen boys to have group sex with her while wearing ‘Scream’ masks: cops

Apr 3 / NY Post
A married Indiana teacher accused of sexually assaulting young boys would allegedly make her barely-teenaged victims wear “Scream” masks while she forced them to have group sex, new court docs reveal. 

Former math teacher Brittany Fortinberry, 31, who met her victims — some as young as 13 — at two different Morgan County schools in 2024, was hit with a slew of new sexual abuse charges this week after five new alleged victims came forward.

One of the boys told police that Fortinberry reached out to him after a separate misconduct investigation. She spent $600 on him and a group of boys, then had them wear the horror movie masks while she had sex with all of them, according to court documents obtained by WTHR.

The teen claimed Fortinberry had him bring his friends to her house and would give them drugs and have sex with them.
The since-fired teacher allegedly drugged one of her victims repeatedly before assaulting him, and would threaten to kill herself if her victims said anything about the horrific abuse, the docs said.

One of the victims later told police that Fortinberry would put her children to bed before trying to have sex with the boys.

She also allegedly sexually assaulted one teen whom she had asked to babysit her kids.

Another victim accused Fortinberry of offering between $100 and $800 to the boys for photos of their genitals.

One of her alleged victims told police that if the boys said they didn’t want to have sex with her, she would rape them while saying, “Just let it happen.”

cAll of the teens said Fortinberry would send them nude and explicit photos and videos on Snapchat and another app called Session.

While most of the victims’ parents were unaware of the abuse before a Department of Child Services investigation, one parent told police that Fortinberry’s husband knew what was happening and “threatened to slaughter (the teen) in front of her if he came forward,” according to court docs.

Last month, the former teacher was accused of sexually abusing several students — but blamed the twisted perversion on her 150-pound weight loss.

At the time, the victim told authorities there were at least five other victims, but possibly as many as 10.

Prosecutors on Tuesday filed a motion to add 10 counts of child molestation, eight counts of dissemination of matter harmful to a minor, five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and one count of sexual misconduct with a minor, according to WTHR.

Those charges are in addition to the three counts of sexual misconduct, one count of dissemination of matter harmful to minors and one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor that were filed against her in February.

Prosecutors also filed to increase Fortinberry’s bond from $20,000 to $150,000.
