New York: A high school teacher admitted to the court that she had sexual relations with a minor student more than 30 times. According to the New York Post report, Heather Hare, a high school teacher in the US, pleaded guilty in court. The case is that the teenage student was seduced more than 30 times and engaged in sexual intercourse. A teacher from Arkansas lured a 17-year-old student through social media with his phone number.
Communication was done on Instagram and Snapchat. Married teacher pleads guilty to using child for sex. After constant harassment, the student himself came forward with a complaint. Bryant police then arrested the teacher. The boy revealed that he first met the teacher on the first day of his senior year at Bryant High School.
The boy disclosed that he had sex approximately 20 to 30 times during the 2021-2022 school term. The contacts took place at the teacher’s home, in her car, in the classroom and in parking lots at the high school, the prosecutor said. The teacher conducted one-on-one counseling sessions with the juvenile victim. Assistant US Attorney John Ray White told the court that they later shared personal phone numbers and chatted on Instagram and Snapchat. The physical relationship between the teacher and the student lasted until a school trip to Washington DC in April 2022. During this trip, he took four people, including three female students, for a competition related to his course.
During the trip, the assistant US attorney argued that he had sex with the child in the hotel room. When the court asked if everything the prosecutor said was true, the teacher tearfully replied yes. The prosecution sought a 13-year jail term for having sex with a minor. The judge declined to make an immediate decision on punishment.
The judge also said that he will take a decision when he hears the sentence. Attorney Jonathan Rose stated that the teacher’s belief and the benefit of being a minor proved that the boy was lured into engaging in illegal sexual activity. In 2020, the teacher was famous for presenting the program Good Morning America against Kovid-19.
