Former math teacher Brittany Fortinberry, 31, has been faced with multiple new sexual abuse charges this week after five additional alleged victims came forward. She met these victims, some as young as 13, while working at two different schools in Morgan County in 2024.
According to Fox 59, some of Fortinberry’s alleged actions included purchasing expensive gifts for the teen, according to court documents. After observing this behavior change, the mother decided to prevent her child from interacting with Fortinberry any longer. However, she later learned that Fortinberry had reportedly added the minor on Snapchat and the two had continued communicating on that app.

All 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.
