Stephanie Cowan, a science teacher in Oklahoma, is facing three counts of rape for allegedly having sex with her teenage foster son.
Cowan, a former teacher at Pryor Junior High School in Oklahoma, admitted to having sex with the boy. The teen was placed in Cowan’s care by the state’s Department of Human Services.
According to the Pryor Police Department, the boy said that he had sex with his foster mother on their way home from vacation in Florida. Cowan then admitted to having sex with the boy three more times after that.

An affidavit said Cowan started being a foster parent to the teenage boy in late October and the first sexual contact happened a month later on the way home from a vacation in Florida. Police said Cowan admitted to having sex with the boy three times after that.
“She advised the first time they had sex was in his room, the second time was in her room and the third time was in the bathroom of her residence,” said Assistant Chief James Willyard of Pryor Police Department.
The Pryor superintendent said all he could say legally is Cowan’s a first-year science teacher at the Pryor junior high and has been suspended from her job. He said they take matters like this very seriously.
