A MARRIED school football coach has been arrested after allegedly sending s3xual snaps to a 16-year-old student and having s3x with him.

Mary “Hanna” Mattingly, 31, was cuffed Monday in Kentucky following claims she had “s3xual contact” with the teen.

The coach was also a substitute teacher at Bardstown High School and worked with the school’s girls’ teams.

She allegedly sent the student “partially nude” photos and exchanged messages with him, according to police.

The shocking case came to light after an anonymous letter was sent to the school, reportedly accusing Mattingly of “inappropriate contact” with a student.

School chiefs moved quickly, with superintendent Ryan Clark saying that “Bardstown City Schools immediately initiated an investigation, removed the individual from her job duties, placed her on administrative leave and alerted the authorities.”

Cops allege Mattingly, “being in the position of special trust as a school teacher at Bardstown High School, engaged in s3xual contact with a high school student.”

She was arrested by Bardstown Police and charged with first-degree s3xual abuse and procuring or promoting abuse of a minor by electronic means, the Lexington Herald Leader reported.

Mattingly is being held on a $20,000 bond at the Nelson County Jail and is due in court next Tuesday.

The scandal has rocked Bardstown, a small city of about 13,500 people roughly 40 miles south of Louisville.

The investigation is ongoing.

It comes as a shamed middle school teacher could face up to 20 years behind bars after allegedly using her classroom and car to carry out s3xual encounters with a student.

Ashley Fisler, 36, was arrested on Thursday after a former pupil – now an adult – went to police with the disturbing claims.

The accuser told officers the alleged abuse happened in 2021 while they were attending Orchard Valley Middle School in Washington Township, New Jersey.

Fisler was working there as a social studies teacher at the time.

Authorities claim there were multiple incidents, said to have taken place both inside the classroom and in Fisler’s car.

Officials added that text messages between the pair backed up the “unlawful s3xual nature of their relationship.”

Fisler is understood to have taught social studies in the Washington Township School District from 2014 until June 2023.

She is no longer employed as a teacher.

Meanwhile, a Teacher of the Year finalist allegedly groomed a teenage pupil with drugs and music – and kept messaging him even after being hit with serious charges.

Tera Johnson-Swartz, 45, from Colorado, was sentenced to 14 years in prison – first over her relationship with a 16-year-old student, and then for breaching a court order by continuing to contact him.

The former STEM School Highlands Ranch teacher, near Denver, reportedly began texting the teen and sharing music playlists in 2024, when he was just 16.

Court documents claim she gave him cigarettes and allowed him to use her marijuana vape pen before the relationship allegedly turned s3xual.

At the same time, Johnson-Swartz had been named one of seven finalists for Colorado’s Teacher of the Year award.
