AN ABUSIVE teacher has admitted to having sex with a teenage schoolboy after wearing “tight leggings and low-cut tops” to show off her figure.
Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, deliberately wore highly revealing outfits and left “scratch marks” on a student she allegedly slept with, court documents reveal.
Hailey Nichelle Clifton-Carmack was charged with statutory rape and more[/caption]The mother-of-two was told repeatedly by school administration she was “too close with students”.
But the ex-maths teacher has now admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old student at Laquey High School in Missouri.
Classmates are said to have acted as “lookouts” whilst the sordid affair took place during school hours, according to the Daily Star.
The allegations first came to light on December 7.
According to court documents, texts were found on Miss Clifton-Carmack’s phone from a search warrant that showed an alleged affair between her and her student.
She was arrested on January 5 and charged with sexual contact with a student, statutory rape in the second degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and child molestation.
The victim’s father allegedly knew his son was involved in the intimate relationship.
The affair is thought to have led to the ex-teacher’s divorce after witnesses presented police with photos that are believed to show scratch marks down the student’s back after sex in his driveway.
Miss Clifton-Carmack fled to visit family in Texas on December 23 after hearing the allegations from police, which she originally denied.
The district’s superintendent, Kent Stoumbaugh, said “The alleged misconduct is inexcusable and does not meet the professional standards for district employees.
“The district took immediate action once we were aware of this situation.
“The employee has not been in the district since December 8, 2023, and we do not anticipate her return.”
Stoumbaugh also commented that this was Miss Clifton-Carmack’s first teaching job, which she had been at for a year-and-a-half.
A plea deal has since been signed dropping the charges to felony sexual contact with a student for the crimes that took place between November and December 2023.
The victim’s father said that the two “are going to do it behind my back, so I may as well let it happen,” according to prosecutors.
“He knew of the relationship of his minor child and the 26-year-old teacher, and instead of reporting the information, he continued to cover for them and allowed the relationship to continue and even allowed Hailey to come over to his residence and see the victim while he was present”, prosecutors said.
He was also reportedly aware of the lookouts that Miss Clifton-Carmack used during her and his son’s meetings.
He is facing felony charges for condoning the alleged illicit relationship, but according to Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin S. Hillman, his trial is “on hold” until after Miss Clifton-Carmack’s.
