Brittany Fortinberry, teacher accused of orgy with students, forced to sell house
The Indiana home where disgraced teacher Brittany Fortinberry is accused of making teenagers as young as 13 wear 'Scream' masks while having group sex with her has been put up for sale after her husband dumped her, according to a report. Fortinberry's husband, Nicholas, filed for divorce from the 31-year-old educator, and the couple can no longer afford their Martinsdale home, according to divorce documents seen by TMZ. The house is where police say some of Fortinberry's alleged sick sexual encounters with minors took place last year — and where a stripper pole and sex toys were found inside, according to court documents seen by Fox59. Brittany Fortinberry, a former Indiana math teacher, allegedly had sex with at least six students, authorities said. @nicholasmatthewfortinberry/Instagram Nicholas filed for divorce from his wife in February, around the time cops began investigating this wife. The couple had been using the monthly benefits from the US Department of Veteran Affairs to pay bills, but the money is no longer being deposited into their joint bank account, according to the divorce documents, which said it was being funneled 'elsewhere.' Without it, the now-fired teacher's estranged husband can no longer make monthly house payments, the docs state. Fortinberry, 31, could spend the rest of her life in prison. A judge recently granted Nicholas' motion to list their home. The expected price was not detailed. Fortinberry faces a staggering 41 felonies related to a twisted string of alleged sex crimes involving at least six students as young as 13. If convicted, she could die behind bars. Fortinberry allegedly plied the kids she met at two different schools with alcohol and magic mushrooms before having sex with them, including at least one alleged incident where she had the boys wear masks from the 'Scream' movie franchise, according to police. On at least one occasion, her children were in the house in bed while the alleged orgies took place, police have alleged. Fortinberry has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and is currently being held in the Morgan County Jail. Her next court appearance will be a pretrial conference scheduled for August. One of her alleged victims was a teenager she had hired to babysit her kids, according to prosecutors. Fortinberry allegedly offered between $100 and $800 to the boys for photos of their genitals, and would regularly send nude photos of herself, her original charging documents claimed. She would often threaten to kill herself if her victims said anything about the abuse, according to the charging documents. Among the charges Fortinberry faces are incest, multiple counts of child molesting, conducting a performance that is harmful to minors, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
