Juile Pritchett, a former Clay-Chalkville Middle School teacher, was indicted on November 7, according to court records. The indictment was not made public until December 5.

The indictments are in three separate cases. Two have the charge of 2nd degree sodomy. One case has the charge of 2nd degree sexual abuse.  These are the same counts she was originally charged with.

At the time of the 35-year-old's arrest, on June 19, Randy Christian with the Sheriff's Office said they had evidence that Pritchett had sexual relations with eight high school students. He said some of the students would not cooperate and some were 16 or older. The charges are based on the accusation of her having sexual relations with 15-year-olds. Christian said the incidents were on school property after school hours and at the students' homes. 

Pritchett taught special education students at Clay-Chalkville Middle School. She was put on administrative leave before her arrest. She later resigned.

Pritchett was the sponsor of the Diamond Dolls giving her access to the athletes she is accused of having sex with.  She was also a sponsor of the Fellowship Christian Athletes.

Pritchett is out on $66,000 bond. No date has been set for the first hearing in circuit court. 

According to court records, William Dawson will be representing her. Efforts to contact him for comment on Sunday, December 7 were unsuccessful.
