Chicago- A Chicago high school teacher is accused of having sex with three teenage boys this summer, paying them a total of $5,000 for their services and plying them with alcohol and marijuana, police said Tuesday.

Senorita R. Walker, 33, of the 7700 block of South Bishop, is charged with three counts of criminal sexual abuse, a felony. Her bail is set at $300,000.

Walker met one of the victims, a 15-year-old, while she was working at Kohn School in the 10400 block of South State, prosecutors said.

This spring, she approached the teen as he played basketball and they exchanged telephone numbers, officials said.

She persuaded the boy and two friends, both 16, to have sex with her numerous times between May and August, authorities said.

One time she allegedly paid the 15-year-old $100 and engaged in sex with the boy and one of the 16-year-olds at her home.

On another occasion, she took the 15-year-old and the second 16-year-old to Rockford, where they had sex at a hotel and she gave them marijuana and alcohol, prosecutors said.

The teens are now students at Corliss High School, 821 E. 103rd, and Walker is a special-education teacher at Robeson High School, 68th and Normal. Walker has been suspended with pay, school officials said.

Toward the end of their liaison, the woman told the boys she had a new boyfriend and did not want to see them any longer, said Chicago Police Lt. Robert Hargesheimer of the Special Investigations Unit.

“They went back to their former school, Kohn, and told a trusted disciplinarian,” Hargesheimer said.

The state Department of Children and Family Services received a hotline call about the situation Nov. 2 and Walker was arrested the next day.

“She gave a statement implicating herself,” Hargesheimer said.

Police said they do not have any physical evidence linking Walker to sexual encounters with the teens, but have statements from two other teenage witnesses backing up the other boys’ accounts.

Walker has a 5-year-old son, but police do not believe he was in her home during any of the sexual encounters. DCFS would not comment on the status of the child.

Walker, who began working for the Chicago Public Schools as a substitute teacher in 1994, started teaching full-time at Curtis School, 115th and State, in 1995. She worked at seven other schools before arriving at Robeson, school officials said.

She does not have a criminal record in Cook County, authorities said.

Hargesheimer, whose unit investigates sexual abuse of children, said it’s rare to see a woman accused of such a crime.

In July, Laurie Augustine, a library aide at Glenbard East High in DuPage County, was sentenced to nine years in prison after she pleaded guilty to having sex with three 17-year-old male students she met at school.
