The boy “said it was child molestation and he’s there because he doesn’t want her to molest more kids,” the documents said.

The boy claimed there were up to 10 other pupils who “are considering talking about what happened” and “others that don’t want to talk about it,” he told cops, according to the documents.

The boy came forward in December, four months after Fortinberry had been fired following allegations she’d sent at least two other pupils obscene images — including nudes as well as images of her sex toys and a stripper pole in her home
