Children taken away from foster mom following rape charges

Authorities have removed four children placed with a Mayes County woman in foster care.

This comes after 34-year-old Stephanie Cowan was accused of raping a 15-year-old boy.

The Tulsa World reports Cowan has been charged with three counts of second-degree rape.  She admitted to having sex with the boy in her care on four separate occasions.

To make matters even worse, at the time, Cowan was working as a science teacher at Pryor Junior High School. She has since resigned from the position.
