Teacher’s Assistant Faces Sex, Drug Charges

POSTED: 6:36 pm PDT March 31, 2008
UPDATED: 7:24 pm PDT March 31, 2008

A Rainier teacher's assistant faced a judge Monday on drug and sex abuse charges.

Jan Gleaves sexually abused teen boys and served them alcohol and marijuana at her apartment, Columbia County officials said.

They began investigating the case in December when a Rainier mother said she found some posts from Gleaves on her son's MySpace page.

Gleaves was a teaching assistant in the St. Helens School District.

Officials don’t think the allegations involve any kids from the school district where she worked.
