A Battery Creek High School teacher who allegedly had sex with two students over spring break previously had told co-workers she had a crush on one of the boys and joked about “hooking up with him,” according to a recently released report from the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office.

Brittney Whetzel, 28, told friends she could not wait for the boy to graduate so that on “June 3rd” she could do whatever she wanted, including have “beautiful babies” with him, the 147-page report said. Witnesses say Whetzel did not wait until graduation.

Two days before the party, Whetzel searched on Google variations of the question “Can teachers get in trouble for sleeping with former students?,” according to records deputies later found on her cellphone.

The student was one of four boys from Battery Creek and Beaufort High School who went to Whetzel’s house that night and one of three students that Whetzel and Battery Creek High media assistant Akina Andrews are accused of plying with beer, wine and tequila.

A day after the party, a third Battery Creek teacher — who was part of a group text in which Whetzel appears to brag about her conquests that night — reported the incident to the school’s assistant principal.

Whetzel was arrested April 16 and charged with with two felony counts of sexual battery and three misdemeanor counts of transfer of beer or wine for an underage person’s consumption between April 9 and April 10. She was released from jail the following morning on a $10,000 surety bond.

Both students Whetzel is accused of having sex with that night were 18 or older, but under South Carolina law, it is illegal for teachers to have sexual contact with their students, even if the students are above the age of consent.

The incident on April 9 originated when Whetzel texted one of her students and asked him to take care of her cats while she visited her family’s home in Maryland, according to the report from the Sheriff’s Office. The student agreed and picked up a key from her on April 4.

Whetzel left town on April 7 and, while gone, sent multiple texts to the student. “The communication was not student-teacher type communication; rather, the text stream seems to indicate a growing flirtation,” a deputy wrote in the report.

Whetzel told deputies that she recently had gone through a bad breakup. Instead of burdening her family, she decided to return to Lady’s Island earlier than expected.

Sometime before the evening of April 9, Whetzel returned, and that night went out for dinner with Andrews. The two picked up wine afterward and went to Whetzel’s house. Whetzel then texted the student who had been feeding her cat and asked him to return her key, the report said. The student arrived at Whetzel’s house at about 9 p.m. and brought two friends with him — one from Battery Creek and one from Beaufort High.

Whetzel, who along with Andrews was drinking wine, invited the three students to stay, the report said. The students and the two Beaufort County Schools employees sat at the kitchen table talking and drinking beer, wine and tequila, according to multiple interviews conducted by investigators. The Beaufort High student who drove the two Battery Creek students to Whetzel’s home told deputies he spent about an hour or two there before leaving to bring his mother’s car back. The other two students decided to stay. Shortly after the third student left, at about 11 p.m., Andrews left to pick up more alcohol for the group.

During that time, Whetzel took one of the students into her bedroom and allegedly had sex with him, according to multiple interviews conducted by investigators. Shortly after the pair came out of the bedroom, Andrews returned with more beer — and another Battery Creek student, according to the report. Andrews told deputies she had invited the additional student because she “wanted a witness” to what was happening at Whetzel’s and she wasn’t sure if she ”should tell or not.”

During this time, the group continued to consume more alcohol, and Whetzel allegedly had sex with the first two students who were at the house, according to multiple interviews conducted by deputies. At one point, Andrews allegedly walked in on Whetzel with the two students, who were lying in her bed naked. According to one of the students’ accounts, Andrews did not say anything and instead turned and walked out of the room.

One of the students told deputies that he saw Andrews kissing a student at the party. He stated that Andrews and the student “were in another bedroom and he could see Andrews sitting on the student’s lap,” the report said. The student who allegedly witnessed the act told deputies that he could not tell if Andrews and the student had clothes on or whether anything sexual had happened between them. Both Andrews and that student denied that any sexual activity happened between the two. Andrews was not charged with sexual battery of any kind.

Bob Bromage, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office, said Monday the alleged activity was unsubstantiated and the threshold for probable cause had not been met. Andrews left the party shortly after midnight with the student whom she had invited over as a “witness” and drove him home, according to the report.

The two Battery Creek students who had arrived at the start of the night stayed at Whetzel’s house — one spent the night in Whetzel’s bed, and the other slept on her couch, the report said. After waking up in the morning, Whetzel drove the two students home, according to the report. One of the two students told deputies that Whetzel never threatened him but did tell him not to tell anyone what had happened, the report said.
