Tucson police arrested two Tucson teachers this morning on separate sex-related cases involving teen students.
In the first case, a Rincon High School teacher was arrested after police say she left her children at home to meet a 16-year-old student she had been 'sexting.'
The teen's father notified police today that his son might be having an inappropriate relationship with Jennifer Whiting, 32. Detectives said they learned Whiting had sent the teen sexual photos of herself by text.
Later this morning police arrested Whiting after they say she left her minor children at home to meet the teen.
Whiting was booked into the Pima County jail on a felony count of furnishing harmful material to a minor. The state Child Protective Services was notified about the children left at home.

Police said the teen is a student at Rincon, but it was not immediately known if Whiting had been his teacher. The investigation continues.
In the second case, a teacher at an east side charter school was arrested after his wife told police he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student, police said.
Aaron Montoya, 30, is facing three counts of sexual conduct with a minor, according to a Tucson Police Department news release.
Tucson police were called to the 3000 block of North Craycroft Road at 1:38 a.m. by a woman requesting assistance.
When officers arrived, the woman told police her husband was possibly having a relationship with the girl. Investigators say Montoya engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct with the girl for the past several months.
Montoya was detained for questioning shortly after. Montoya is a teacher at Allsport Academy, 6211 E. Speedway. The girl is a student at the school.
The case is still under investigation.
