An Army specialist might be facing his toughest battle.
Christopher Colleps says he has been attacked and smeared since his wife turned herself in to authorities to face five charges of an improper relationship with a student. Thursday, Mr. Colleps walked into a room holding his wife’s hand before reading from a prepared statement.
In a written statement, the military veteran promised to stand by Brittni Colleps despite the accusations that she had sex with five 18-year-old students from Kennedale High School.
“If you know Brittni, you will know that she is an empathetic, compassionate, loving, loyal person,” he said. “Brittni is a loving mother that continuously puts the needs of her children above her own.”
Court papers say the 27-year-old English teacher had sex with one student multiple times. Search warrants served at the house could also add to the claim that there were explicit text messages from the teacher.
