A new teen has come forward with allegations against Brittany Fortinberry, 32, a disgraced married teacher facing multiple charges for sexual misconduct with underage boys.
Fortinberry, a mother of four, is already accused of preying on children as young as 13 and is now facing nearly 50 criminal charges.
Additional Charges Filed
Court documents obtained by WTHR show prosecutors added six more counts, including sexual misconduct with a minor, dissemination of material harmful to minors, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
This brings Fortinberry’s total charges to 47, including 15 counts of child molestation and 14 counts of sexual misconduct with a minor.
Alleged Luring and Abuse
According to the documents, one boy claimed Fortinberry lured him to her Indiana home with gifts and drugs, complimented his appearance, and eventually had sex with him in her garage.
He said he slept in her children’s bedroom that night while she went to bed with her husband.
The teen also alleged that Fortinberry freely provided drugs to minors, saying: “She just handed it out to anybody.”
He reportedly cut ties with her after realising she was involved with other boys as well.
Potential Prison Sentence
If convicted on all charges, Fortinberry could face up to 40 years in prison.
Prosecutors say the new allegations highlight the extent of her alleged predatory behaviour.
Horror Home
Authorities described Fortinberry’s former suburban home, which has since been sold, as a “den of depravity.”
Police reportedly found a stripper pole and sex toys inside the property.
Use of Ghostface Masks
Victims told police that Fortinberry spent hundreds of dollars on them and their friends, forcing them to wear “Scream” Ghostface masks during sexual encounters.
Another accuser claimed the teacher masturbated over his school photos and sent a video of herself performing a sex act with his underwear.
Keeping Victims Under Control
Court documents reveal that Fortinberry allegedly maintained control over the boys through drugs, cash, gifts, and nude photos sent via Snapchat.
Several victims said she threatened suicide if they spoke out.
One boy told police: “It was no different than a 30-year-old man and a 15-year-old girl. It was child molestation.”
Husband Also Charged
Fortinberry’s estranged husband, Nicholas Fortinberry, faces charges for allegedly threatening victims to keep quiet until they turned 16.
Authorities claim he also threatened to “slaughter” one boy if he spoke about the abuse.
Number of Victims
Investigators say Brittany Fortinberry groomed at least 10 boys in 2024.
Some victims allege she raped them if they refused to comply or forced them to watch as she abused others.
Previous Statements
Fortinberry has previously blamed her “weight loss” for making bad decisions, though authorities say this does not excuse her alleged actions.
Current Status
Fortinberry remains behind bars without bond as the investigation and court proceedings continue.
Community Reaction
The case has shocked the local community, with parents and residents expressing outrage over the alleged abuse of minors.
Police and prosecutors urge anyone with information related to the case to come forward to assist ongoing investigations.
