A 35-year-old Washington teacher, foster parent, and adoption advocate is facing serious charges after authorities say she sexually abused two teenage boys she had adopted. Amber Swain is accused of multiple counts of incest and sexual contact with a minor involving the now 17- and 18-year-old boys.

According to court documents and investigators, the alleged abuse occurred over several months. Swain reportedly admitted to having sex with one of the teens but disputed the timeline, claiming it happened after he turned 18. The investigation began after concerns were raised by the Department of Children, Youth, and Families, and incriminating text messages were discovered.
Swain, who had publicly spoken about her passion for helping vulnerable children, now faces significant prison time if convicted. The case has shocked the local community in Newport, Washington, where she worked as a teacher.
