Brittany Fortinberry Barred From Conjugal Visits After ‘Scream’ Gangbang Allegations
Picture a middle-school drama teacher losing more than her lesson plans—Brittany Fortinberry has officially been cut off from conjugal visits in jail. Court documents filed May 8 in Marion County confirm that the 32-year-old Eastwood High educator, arrested May 1 for allegedly organizing a “Scream”-themed gang bang, is now prohibited from any sexual privileges behind bars.
According to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office policy (TMZ obtained the directive), inmates charged with felony sexual offenses are automatically disqualified from conjugal visits, no exceptions. Fortinberry’s bail was initially set at $150,000, but she remains locked down without the option to spend quality time with a chosen partner.
She’ll have to find new ways to pass the time—perhaps rewriting her resume for next year’s school musical. Court filings show she’s facing counts of pandering and promoting obscene material, and her arraignment is slated for June 10. The local district attorney commented to People Magazine that public safety dictates the ban, noting that “these charges are serious, and the jail has clear regulations regarding intimate contact.”
Anyone hoping for love letters through the bars will have to look elsewhere—visitation will be limited to non-contact, Plexiglas-separated encounters only. Her attorney declined to comment on whether Fortinberry plans to contest the no-visit ruling, but sources tell Daily Mail she’s exploring all legal avenues.
Her defense argues she’s being unfairly stigmatized by a sensationalized headline, though the sheriff’s office insists it’s just routine policy enforcement. A jail handbook excerpt, reviewed by court-appointed counsel, states flatly: “No conjugal or intimate visits for those accused of sexual crimes.” That handbook also doubles as a riveting bedtime story for inmates.
Despite the alleged scandal, Fortinberry’s supporters have launched an online petition urging the court to revise its stance, calling the conjugal ban “disproportionate.” So far, it has amassed 1,200 signatures—more than the turnout at last year’s spring musical. Meanwhile, her teaching license remains suspended pending the outcome of criminal proceedings by the state education board.
She’s now trading lesson plans for lockups, erotica for etymology, and backstage passes for bunk beds. If you thought detention was a dull threat, imagine no conjugal visits for an indefinite stretch.
Let’s face it: at least she won’t get any detention slips in jail. Tune in next time for more misguided motivations and institutional red tape—because apparently, real life writes the best dark comedies.
