A married Indiana teacher is facing dozens of charges after allegedly asking three underage boys to “gangbang” her while wearing a mask from the horror film “Scream.”
Prosecutors in Martinsville, Indiana, say five more victims are accusing former Morgan County teacher Brittany Fortinberry of sexual abuse, with some of the boys as young as 13 when the alleged group sex took place.
The new allegations come after the 31-year-old former instructor was originally charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy and sending explicit messages, pictures and videos to other children at Eminence High School in Martinsville.

The Daily Mail reports: “The boy told Detective Williams that Fortinberry, ‘would always make him food and would buy him anything he wanted’ including ‘vapes, weed, and THC carts (cartridges)’, according to his affidavit.
“He made claims about several instances where Fortinberry allegedly plied him and friends with mushroom pills before encouraging them to touch her sexually.
“‘Brittany would peer pressure them if they didn’t want to take the shrooms,’ the affidavit reads. ‘Brittany would grab their arm she would say, “just let it happen.”‘
“His mom told cops that her son claimed that, ‘Brittany would put the shrooms on a peanut butter sandwich so they couldn’t taste them.’
“The boy claimed there was once occasion where Fortinberry picked him and two friends up and took them to the mall, before calling their parents to ask if they could spend the night.
“Once there, the then 13-year-old alleged Fortinberry ordered him and his two friends to have group sex with her, despite the youngsters all being underage.
“‘Brittany had one condition for them to have the gangbang with her and that was that they had to wear a Scream mask to f**k her,’ the affidavit states. …
“The latest alleged victim claims Fortinberry picked him and two friends up from the mall and took them back to her home where they engaged in a ‘gangbang’. The boy, who was 13 at the time, claims Fortinberry’s husband Nicholas was aware of the alleged abuse.”
WTHR reports Nicholas Fortinberry has been charged with intimidation and failure to report, and prosecutors have filed to increase Brittany’s bond from $20,000 to $150,000.
The Metropolitan School District of Martinsville confirmed Fortinberry was hired as a substitute teacher Oct. 24, 2023, before resigning on Jan. 9, 2024.
