US Teacher, 26, Arrested for Sexually Abusing Teen She Met at Church

A twenty-six-year-old teacher from the United States has been arrested for sexually abusing a teenager she met at an Arkansas church. The incidents of abuse were reported to have taken place since 2020 while she was volunteering at the Little Rock Immanuel Baptist Church. The boy’s parents reported the woman to a senior pastor at the church after finding several text messages on their son’s phone. According to the investigation, she “bombarded” the teen with nude photos.

She was suspended from her volunteer role and put on administrative leave as the investigation continued. It emerged that the woman had been texting the teenager on Snapchat and that the abuse allegedly took place about a dozen times. The victim claimed that Gray had given him oral sex but they avoided intercourse so he could “stay pure.” The accused teacher, who also worked at Little Rock Christian Academy and is still employed at Sylvan Hills Middle School, was arrested and charged with sexual assault.

She was later released on a $20,000 bail.
