Prosecutor says teacher accused of sexual contact with his student married her so she won’t testify

Alabama math teacher Matthew Shane Wester, 38, was indicted for having sexual contact with a student, Amy Nicole Cox. So he divorced his wife, and two months later, married his alleged victim.

Blount County District Attorney Pamela Case calls the marriage a “sham.” She says Wester married the girl so she couldn’t be forced to testify against him.

‘The marriage is a sham:’ Teacher, 38, married his eighteen-year-old student just 67 days after divorcing his first wife to avoid having to testify in trial, says DA, on DailyMail.com.
