A 40-year-old Arvada woman who police say wanted to be seen as a, "cool mom", is suspected of supplying drugs and alcohol to high school boys, and having sex with them.
Sylvia Johnson faces charges of sexual assault and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Police say she had parties for the boys almost every week between October 2003 and October 2004.
She's accused of giving them marijuana, methamphetamine and alcohol.
Investigators said Johnson told them she wasn't popular in high school, but recently felt like "one of the group."
Police began investigating her after one of the boys told his mother about the alleged encounters.
A preliminary hearing in the case is set for next month.

Perhaps I shouldn't say so here, but in the late 70s, a young teacher in a town close by was caught in flagrante delecto with either 3 or 4 high school boys at the Motel 6 in Lubbock. She was much younger than the Arvada woman, about 24, and there was lots of alcohol but no drugs. The victims (hee hee) were not her students, she taught early grades, but they were from the same small system. Worse, her parents were prominent people in the town and she still lived with them.
Today, she would be thrown in prison, but back then such things were winked at. Her superintendant confronted her and offered her the chance to leave the district with a good reference, or her parents would find out. She left and moved to another small town system. She married a roughneck type and settled down. Last I heard, she is still teaching.
How do I know all this? I was a chaperone for the high school event where this happened. My female counterpart picked up on the hanky-panky, we notified the boys' chaperone, and the three of us busted them. I was absolutely shocked that my colleague's suspicions turned out to be true. I was young then, and she was a paranoid old bat, but we barged into the room and there they were. We don't know if there were three or four boys because one of them was out of the room and denied any knowledge of the goings-on (sure). There was no doubt about the others.

There was a girl at my school whose mom was friends with all the teenagers. She let us smoke at her house and she even bought beer for us from time to time. Never heard or saw her getting nasty with any of us but boy were we more than willing. She was a teenage mom (two kids), on welfare, and her daughter (14) was her bestest friend. Everyone knew we were smoking and drinking at her house but nobody seem to care.
