Former Hominy teacher accused of raping a student

HOMINY, Okla. - A former Hominy special education teacher spent Wednesday in the Osage County Jail, amid allegations she raped a student.

35 year-old Shelly Christine Fry turned herself in to sheriff's deputies Wednesday afternoon. She was later released following a court appearance.

The Osage County District Attorney says he intends to file second degree rape charges against Fry on Monday.

A former student tells Osage county investigators he had sex with Fry at her home in Hominy last September, when he was still a student in her special needs class at Hominy High School.

Arrest affidavit show Fry's husband confronted the teen over the phone, after discovering text messages between the two. The teen says he ended their relationship following the confrontation.

Fry had been with the district since september of 2000. Osage county investigators are looking at the possibility that she may of had sex with other students in the past. Chief Investigator Charlie Cartwright tells 2NEWS, "We certainly have to look at all the possibilities. This investigation is not complete at this time."

The school district says Fry resigned last October, before school officials had a chance to question her about the allegations. Superintendent Russell Hull says, "The Hominy School District takes the safety of it's students seriously. After learning this information, we consulted with the district attorney. We believe we took appropriate action in the matter."

Shelly Fry will be back in court on August 27th.
