Jessie Goline, otherwise known as Jessie Lorene Goline, is a former Arkansas high school art teacher who is accused of having inappropriate sexual relationships with four students. Furthermore, it is alleged that she had intercourse with two students in one day.
The former Marked Tree High School art teacher, from Jonesboro, Arkansas, was arrested on September 20. Goline allegedly told one of her students how “good” he looked in her class and then sent that student a photo of herself wearing thong underwear.
According to Arkansas Online, one student was allegedly dropped off by a friend at Goline’s residence in Jonesboro to have sexual intercourse.
A second student claimed Goline picked him up one and took him to her home, where they also had sex. Authorities discovered that Goline had sex with the students on the same day.
Authorities said the alleged incident happened between January and April of 2016.

Prosecutors, citing Paschal v. State 2012 Ark. 127, said the single charge was filed because only one of the students was under the age of 18 at the time. Goline admitted to school officials that she had inappropriate sexual relationships with four students. She believed one was 18 at the time but later found him to be “way younger than what he had told her,” the affidavit states.
An investigation began in April when Marked Tree High School officials learned that a concerned parent had threatened to “do bodily harm to one of their teachers.” The parent had accused Goline of having sex with multiple students.
While school officials were trying to report the accusations to a hotline, Goline came into an administrative office and started crying, prompting the high school’s principal, Matt Wright, to ask what was wrong.
Goline reportedly only shook her head and replied “no, no” several times.
Craighead County jail records show that Goline was booked at 1:50 PM and was released at 3:04 PMon Wednesday, September 20.
Goline’s arrest is just the latest in a string of United States teachers being arrested for inappropriate relationships with students.
Last week, 26-year-old substitute teacher Allyson Moran was arrested in Michigan on sexual assault accusations.
In early August, Philadelphia teacher Nina Scott plead guilty to having an inappropriate relationship with a female student.
In June, Connecticut special education teacher Laura Ramos was arrested for having a sexual relationship with one of her students.
