The brunette has admitted
having sex with the 17-year-old almost every day for six months and sending him
raunchy selfies.
But Haglin, who took a job as a lap dancer in a strip club
after being sacked from school, insisted: “The student is the one who seduced
me.”
A teacher who has confessed
to sleeping with a pupil “hundreds of times” claims he seduced her.
Mary Beth Haglin, 24, told
Dr Phil in a new interview: “I am the victim.”
She claimed the teen swept
her off her feet after coming on strong and wooing her with handwritten notes
and texts.Haglin said:
“HE DID SO WITH SUCH INTELLIGENCE AND SUCH AN
ELEVATED VOCABULARY THAT I WAS COMPLETELY DUPED BY THE WHOLE FACADE. “HE CAUGHT
ME IN MY WEAKEST MOMENTS, AND HE USED THAT TO HIS ADVANTAGE.“I DID IGNORE A LOT
OF THAT AT FIRST BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, I KNEW THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL, NOT ALLOWED,
FROWNED UPON – EVERYTHING.”
She decided to respond to
one of the student’s messages after a big bust-up with her boyfriend and they
started their physical relationship in October 2015, she said.
Haglin said she became
vulnerable through a troubled relationship with her boyfriend.
HAGLIN TOLD TV’S DR. PHIL:
“WE HAD SEX – ALMOST DAILY
– IN HIS CAR, MY CAR, HIS MOM’S HOUSE, AND HIS DAD’S HOUSE.”
She said she tried to end
the affair but claimed the pupil threatened to expose her if she tried to leave
him.
She added:
“WHEN THINGS GOT WAY OUT OF
CONTROL, AND I WANTED OUT, HE BEGAN SAYING ‘I WILL LIGHT A MATCH AND BURN YOUR
LIFE DOWN.’”
Haglin said she was too
scared to stop the relationship. But it ended after another student saw them
together.
She was sacked as a
substitute teacher at Washington High School, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was
arrested after turning herself in to police in July.
She is charged with one
count of sexual exploitation of a minor and her trial is due to start in
November.
