Heather Lee Robertson, a Texas teacher and a mother of two, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for having sex with four high school students, including having a threesome with two of the boys.
Robertson, 38, of Lufkin, Texas, was taken into custody in April and charged with four counts of improper relationship between educator and student. On Thursday, September 28, Robertson accepted a plea deal in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice and will spend 10 years in a state prison. She will also have to cease her teaching certification and will have to register a sex offender.
According to an arrest warrant, the investigation into the Hudson Independent School District teacher began on April 20 when Lufkin police got a tip about Robertson’s alleged involvement with several of her students.
According to the warrant, on Thursday, April 20, the Hudson Independent School District police received information that Robertson had allegedly been sexually involved with several high school students. After obtaining the names of the students who were possibly sexually involved with Robertson, police questioned each one.
One of the students told police that he and Robertson began “chatting and sexting” on Snapchat shortly after spring break, the warrant stated. At some point, Robertson reportedly asked him to come over to her apartment to have sex. The boy then told Robertson that a friend was with him and asked if it was OK if he came over, too, and she said it was fine, the student told police.
The boys said that when they arrived to the apartment, Robertson was lying on the couch vaping, according to the warrant. After speaking with the boys for a few minutes, Robertson told them to follow her to her bedroom, where she began taking off her clothes before having sex with both students at the same time, according to the warrant.
The boys told police that there were two other students who had possibly been sexually involved with Robertson, the warrant stated. Police then spoke with the two other students, who said they had sex with her at her apartment on multiple occasions.
If convicted of her charges, Robertson faces up to 20 years in prison. It doesn’t look too good for her either, as it seems she admitted to committing the crimes.

When confronted by police, Robertson allegedly admitted to the illicit affairs, court records show. She “advised she recently became a heavy drinker and would sometimes not remember the details of the sexual encounters with the students,” the affidavit alleges.
Robertson remains in custody on an unspecified amount of bail and it was not clear if she has entered a plea.
Robertson has since resigned from her job.
