Woman accused of sex with students sees hearing postponed to November

STANARDSVILLE — A Greene County woman facing charges of having sex with William Monroe High School student-athletes had a hearing postponed Thursday.

Tammy Harlow Cox’s next hearing in Greene Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court is scheduled for Nov. 20. She remains free on a $5,000 bond.

Cox, 39, of Celt Road, was arrested Oct. 3. She faces two felony charges of taking indecent liberties with a child and three misdemeanor charges of rendering a child a delinquent by having sex with them, according to Maj. Randall Snead of the Sheriff’s Office.

The investigation of Cox began as a result of a football locker room hazing incident at William Monroe, according to Snead.

The hazing incident also is now being investigated by the Sheriff’s Office.

Three students involved in the Cox case are “under the age of 18 and over the age of 15,” Sgt. James Watson said in a search warrant seeking access to Cox’s cell phone.

She allegedly sent sexual messages and nude pictures from the phone, the sergeant wrote in the affidavit.

Each of the felony charges Cox faces carries a prison term of up to five years. Each misdemeanor carries a punishment of up to one year in jail and/or a $2,500 fine. Hazing on school grounds also is a misdemeanor with the same possible punishment.
