Andrew Lott
A former teacher and assistant football coach at Mesquite High School faces up to 20 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to a felony charge for having sex with a 17-year-old student in 2011.
A Dallas County jury is hearing testimony today before deciding on a punishment for Andrew Scott Lott, 34. He was arrested in January 2012 on a second-degree felony charge of improper relationship between an educator and student.
The victim in the case was a 17-year-old senior at the time the relationship began. She testified this morning that she initiated the relationship when she sent Lott an email in 2011.
She wrote to him that she ?had the hots for him? and he responded ?If you only knew,? she said.
The relationship quickly progressed and the woman eventually had sex with her teacher at his home, she said.
The woman is now a student at an area college. She testified that she continued to have a sexual relationship with Lott as recently as last week.
Things changed in the past 24 hours, she said. Lott told her in a phone conversation yesterday that she didn?t have to come testify in court if she didn?t want to and that she could call the Dallas County District Attorney?s office and have them halt the court proceedings, she said.
?I felt like at that point that I was being used,? she said.
The woman said it became clear to her that Lott had carried on a relationship with her in order to try to get her to help his criminal case.
Prosecutor Shequitta Kelly asked the woman to talk about something else that led her to cut off her relationship with Lott this week.
The woman said she met another former student of Lott who had had a relationship with him.
?Our complexion was the same and our hair color was the same and we were built the same,? she said. ?It made me feel like a preference. It did not make me feel like I was special.?
