Teacher Charged With Raping Second Boy

POSTED: 5:56 pm PDT September 13, 2007
UPDATED: 6:14 pm PDT September 13, 2007

A former Tacoma teacher accused of raping a 10-year-old boy is now facing additional charges after investigators said there is at least one more victim.

Jennifer Rice, 31, was charged on Wednesday with raping and molesting a second boy in his mid-teens.

KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Kevin McCarty said sources told him the second victim is the brother of the 10-year-old boy who Rice allegedly molested.

Rice was first arrested and charged on Aug. 14 with kidnapping a former student while having a sexual relationship with him.

Police said that since the former teacher had contact with students at several schools, they have not ruled out the possibility that there could be more victims in Pierce County.

Investigators said the discovery of a second victim led to 12 new counts in the case against Rice.

Prosecutors charged Rice with six counts of rape of a child in the first degree, two counts of rape of a child in the third degree and four counts of child molestation in the first degree.

Investigators said they were unaware of the alleged teenage victim until after Rice was arrested.

“During the course of the original investigation, in talking with the second victim and talking with witnesses, whether directly or indirectly, the second victim came up,” said Officer Mark Fulghum of Tacoma police.

Rice remains in jail. Her bail has been set at $500,000.
