SAN DIEGO -- First sex, now drugs -- new charges are filed against a teacher accused of having sex with a student.
Danielle Walls, a former Clairemont High School history teacher accused of having sex two years ago with one of her male students, appeared in court in downtown San Diego on Wednesday.
Walls not only had sex with one of her male students 10 to 25 times at four or five hotels around the county, alleged prosecutors, she also gave him drugs and alcohol, they said. The alleged victim was 16 years old when the the incidents are alleged to have taken place.
"During that time, the defendant was an out-of-control coke fiend," said Deputy District Attorney Dwayne Moring. "She furnished the victim with cocaine and alcohol."
Walls pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to all charges. Walls' defense attorney, Jan Ronis, refused to comment to NBC 7/39 about the allegations made against his client.
In court, prosecutor brought forth stacks of evidence. Walls, though, showed no emotions during the proceedings.
"We have numerous telephone cell-phone records regarding cell-phone contact text messages at all hours of the day," Moring told the judge on Wednesday.
One key piece of evidence for prosecutors was a taped conversation that allegedly took place between Walls and the alleged victim's sister. Investigators said that during the conversation, Walls offered to pay the sister some money. Prosecutors said the victim's sister was wired with a recording device and was working with the police.
The defense had earlier contested that the sister tried to extort money from Walls.
"We have no information ... whatsoever that supports extortion at anytime involving victim's family and the defendant," said Moring on Wednesday.
Prosecutors said that with credit-card receipts and hotel registrations, the evidence in the case is growing.
"The defendant violated all legal, professional and ethical standard between a minor and adult," Moring said outside court.
Walls, who is currently free on bail, now faces 11 counts of unlawful sexual contact. She also has been charged with furnishing alcohol to a minor and a single count of giving a controlled substance to a minor. She is due back in court for a readiness hearing on July 26.
Judge David Szumowski has forbidden Walls to have any contact with the alleged victim and his sister.
