A former math teacher at North Penn High School in Montgomery County accused of having sex with one of her students and sending sexually explicit messages to another student has been ordered held for trial.
Both 17-year-old boys testified at Heather Zeo’s preliminary hearing. Under intense cross-examination from the defense, they told the judge how Zeo used social networking sites and the Internet to communicate with them.
Prosecutor Kate McGill says the 36-year-old Warrington, Pa. woman will stand trial on child endangerment charges:
“This was really a calculated seduction. I think in this situation where she reached out to these students on Facebook, she contacted them, she developed a relationship with them. they trusted her.”
Prosecutors say she had sex several times with one of the teens, inside classrooms at the school and in her family minivan in a Montgomeryville parking lot (see related story). The married mother of three has performed inspirational music at churches and festivals and records educational CDs.
