However, according to the New York Post, Smart allegedly convinced Flynn to kill her husband, Gregg Smart. Smart led a program to help teenagers cope with sex and drug abuse when the affair began. In 1990, Pamela Smart, a media coordinator at a high school in New Hampshire, had an affair with 15-year-old student Billy Flynn.
However, the charges against Wester were eventually dropped in 2017. He faced charges of sexual contact with a student under 19 who was also a school employee. Wester had taught math and served as the head track coach and an assistant football coach at the high school. During the ensuing scandal, Wester divorced his wife and married the 18-year-old student just 67 days later.Īccording to the New York Daily News, prosecutors alleged that Wester married his former student, Amy Nicole Cox, to prevent her from testifying against him in court. Matthew Shane Wester, a 37-year-old teacher and coach in Alabama, was charged with having sexual contact with a student in 2015.
