A former teacher from Georgia is accused of sexually assaulting a student and attempting to convince the teen to run away to Mexico with her after investigators uncovered nearly 20,000 damning text messages between the pair, according to multiple reports.

The Roswell Police Department said in a statement that 55-year-old Amanda Katz was arrested on June 2. Bond was set at $25,000, according to jail records.

'I can’t stop looking at you and certainly keep my hands to myself.'

WAGA-TV reported that Katz was charged with improper sexual contact by an employee or agent.

The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, according to the New York Post.

Katz had been a teacher and administrative assistant at Roswell High School.

WXIA-TV obtained the arrest warrant saying Katz was a teacher of the alleged victim before she transitioned into an administrative role at Roswell High School.

Police said Katz sexually assaulted a 16-year-old student during multiple off-campus encounters between December 2025 and February 2026.

Katz resigned during the middle of the police investigation, police said.

Fulton County Schools confirmed the district no longer employs her.

Citing the affidavit, the Post reported that the alleged victim told police he had unprotected sex several times with Katz in her home and the backseat of her Jaguar car.

"During a forensic interview, the teen told investigators Katz encouraged him to transfer from Roswell High School to another high school that would allow him to graduate sooner," WXIA reported.

The student said Katz told him she was "literally scared s**tless" about the prospect of getting caught with the boy and going to prison, the affidavit said.

WXIA reported that Katz was "considered a trusted family friend" of the alleged victim, and she even tutored the boy's younger sibling. The affidavit said Katz bought gifts for the alleged victim's siblings, including jewelry and a Nintendo Switch.

The teen's mother grew suspicious of the alleged illicit relationship when Katz invited the boy and his family to a cabin in the north Georgia mountains during Valentine's Day weekend, the arrest warrant stated.

WSB-TV reported that the teen’s mother said she noticed how "comfortable" Katz and her son were.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained the arrest warrant saying the teen's mother discovered text messages on her son's cell phone and "knew there was something wrong."

The warrant said when Katz returned to work after the trip, she told her co-workers that she was "in a manic state" and complained that her "boyfriend’s mother" said they couldn't be in a relationship.

The warrant revealed that when a co-worker learned that Katz's boyfriend was a student at the high school, the co-worker alerted authorities.

Detectives obtained the teen's cell phone, which revealed Katz and the boy exchanged at least 19,585 text messages and made 591 calls, the warrant said.

"Throughout the lengthy text thread between [teen] and Amanda, they discussed their relationship and potential future lives together, how and why they need to keep their relationship secret, and multiple sexual interactions," the affidavit said, according to People magazine.

The New York Post reported, "In other messages, she told the boy that sex was 'fun,' and that she would 'walk away from everything' to be with him."

The warrant said Katz messaged the student, "I meant everything I said to you. I would give you everything I have. And I’m human. I know it sounds stupid, but you not being mine isn’t an option. I can’t do this."

The alleged victim told investigators Katz wanted him to move into her home after he graduated from high school, police said.

"[He] said he had mixed feelings about leaving his family and that Amanda wanted to go further with their relationship, move in together, and to commit to each other. ... [He] said Amanda offered to take care of him (financially and provide a place to stay, etc.)," the affidavit read.

Katz also wanted the student to move to Mexico with her, police said.

"[He] also said that Amanda had told him that she wanted to move to Mexico with him, but he did not want to do that, nor did he understand why she would want to go there," the affidavit revealed.

According to the affidavit, "Amanda also admitted that her actions were inappropriate and that she could be arrested if detected."

"I have done a lot of stupid things. A lot. But this is top level," Katz wrote, according to the affidavit.

"I am crazy about you. I can’t be around you," Katz said to the teen, the affidavit said.

The affidavit said Katz texted the teen, "I can’t stop looking at you and certainly keep my hands to myself. Just telling you this can get me fired. ... I need to leave Roswell. ... Please delete this entire thread."

"I was truly happy for the first time in a long time. I want you to know that. But this is killing me. This conversation can’t happen. Everything about us has to be deleted," read a text message Katz sent to the teen on Dec. 29, 2025, WSB reported.

"We are lying to everyone. For what? How long? I don’t want to go to jail ... I won’t do well in jail ... I’m too pretty," Katz wrote to the teen, the warrant stated.

The arrest warrant said Katz told the teen, "I loved you. And this is the most f**ked up and scary thing that has ever happened to me. You f**king broke my heart. ... This is probably the worst thing anyone has ever done to me. You abandoned me."

The Roswell Police Department and Fulton County Schools did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Veteran and oyster farmer Graham Platner has secured the Democrat nomination for Maine’s election for the United States Senate and will advance to the general election in November to challenge incumbent Republican Senator Susan Collins.

From Spencer Pratt to Mayor Michael Rapaport?

All eyes have been on Spencer Pratt, the reality show alum vying to wrest the City of Angels from Mayor Karen Bass.

While Pratt promoted his family-man brand, Rapaport lives for the social media scrum.

Pratt’s insurgent campaign was felt from coast to coast. Now, as L.A.’s curious voting system seems to have sent him to a third-place finish, another actor turned candidate could take his place.

Did Pratt walk so Michael Rapaport could run?

'Soft launch'

Rapaport is a familiar face from dozens of movies and TV shows since his 1992 film debut in “Zebrahead.” He recently joined Peacock’s “The Traitors,” a reality-show affair hosted by Alan Cumming. His brash persona proved a snug fit for the series, alienating some while bringing fresh friction to the game.

And, as he told the Hollywood Reporter in January, the show was part of his “soft launch” to unseat New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I think that if you can have a mayor of New York who is a failed rapper, a failed actor, a failed music supervisor and who’s rapped and said so many regrettable things that he did … if nothing else, I have shown once again, especially on "Traitors," that I am what you see and you’ll get an honest mayor.

Pratt didn’t lean on MAGA messaging or GOP-friendly talking points in his campaign. He played the outsider, a man motivated by losing his home in the Palisades fires and demanding that the person who let it happen be held accountable.

For Rapaport, Mamdani’s socialist policies and perceived animosity toward Jewish New Yorkers sparked his campaign, not any Republican fervor.

Accidental politicians

Call them accidental politicians. The facts on the ground made them do it. Rapaport explained his change of heart to Fox News.

"I never thought that I would even consider running for mayor of New York City, and I will do it with the best intentions.”

Rapaport leans to the left, but he has defied some of his party’s groupthink, particularly when it comes to his strong support of Israel.

Pratt and Rapaport share a grasp not just of social media but of media training in general. They have been around cameras for years, aware of the power video brings and how to weaponize it for a cause.

We’ve seen Pratt leverage those viral campaign videos, playing the frazzled Everyman eager to save his hometown. Rapaport, a trained comic in addition to his acting experience, could do the same.

Rapaport has some advantages over Pratt. He announced his campaign years before any voting happens, as opposed to Pratt's abrupt decision. That gives Rapaport time to build his base, criticize Mamdani in real time, and let New Yorkers see what a democratic socialist can do to the Big Apple.

Rapaport is betting they won’t like the results.

Sharp elbows

Plus, Rapaport isn’t merely a reality show villain like Pratt, with all the baggage that entails. He has delivered memorable performances on FX’s “Justified” and Netflix’s “Atypical,” plus classic films like “Beautiful Girls,” “True Romance,” and “Cop Land.”

The veteran actor recently segued back to comedy, appearing in clubs across the country with a genuinely funny set built around his garrulous persona.

The downsides for the New York native, beyond the fear that he’s another actor playing the part of political savior? Rapaport throws plenty of sharp elbows on social media and podcasts. He famously teed off on President Donald Trump a few years ago, a potential boost to his New York candidacy.

But he softened that stance considerably post-October 7, re-evaluating the president’s policies and the lies spread in the media. That speaks to his maturation, but it might not play well in a cobalt blue city.

Relishing a fight

While Pratt promoted his family-man brand, Rapaport lives for the social media scrum. He’s naturally combative, willing to muck it up about sports, culture, and politics on any platform possible.

His “I Am Rapaport: Stereo Podcast” lets him weigh in on the New York Knicks, free speech, and much more. Here’s betting Team Mamdani will be combing through past episodes for potentially damaging material.

And they just might find some.

Pratt proved competitive in his upstart campaign, and even if the vote totals keep him in third place, he still gave the Democratic establishment a major scare.

Could Rapaport learn from Pratt’s bold run and write his own Hollywood ending?

Popular YouTuber Jesse Ridgway, who goes by "McJuggerNuggets," set the internet on fire last week when he used the abortion of his unborn child with Down syndrome to create content for his audience.

“My wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21,” Ridgway wrote in a post on X. “The choice was not made lightly.”

“She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000,” he added.

The couple has been documenting their pregnancy journey on their YouTube channel, where they’ve been recording their reactions to test results.

“You not only monetized your baby’s little life, but then you monetized his death. And not just his death, but also his murder. And then you want people to feel sympathetic toward you,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey comments.

“This is morally chilling that you are admitting and trying to euphemize euthanizing a baby,” she continues, pointing out that Ridgway is apparently not actually “without compassion for vulnerable entities.”

Earlier in May, Ridgway celebrated the sixth birthday of his dog, who was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney disease the year prior, explaining that she is in the “0.001% of superhero dogs that continue living with no kidneys.”

“So that life was worth sacrificing for. His dog was worth paying lots and lots of money for, doing everything you could to keep this dog alive. Even though your dog has special needs, will not live a very long time,” Stuckey says.

“That dog apparently was more worthy of life than their living child,” she adds.
