Arkansas Teacher, 26, Arrested for Sexually Abusing 15-Year-Old Church Member
A 26-year-old US teacher, Reagan Gray, was arrested for sexually abusing a 15-year-old boy she met at an Arkansas church in 2020.
The abuse came to light when the boy's parents discovered suspicious text messages on his phone.
A church leader reported Gray's confession during a counseling session in 2023 to the FBI.
A 26-year-old woman, who worked as a volunteer teacher at Little Rock Christian Academy, is under investigation for sending nude photos to a 15-year-old student and engaging in sexual acts with him.
The relationship came to light during the woman's counselling, leading to her suspension from her volunteer role.
In February, it was revealed that the woman had been texting the teenager on Snapchat.
According to court records, the teenager claimed that the woman had given him oral sex but they avoided intercourse to keep him "pure." The alleged abuse is said to have taken place about a dozen times at the woman's car or house.
In 2023, a church leader reported to the FBI that Gray confessed during a counseling session to having a sexual relationship.
Following this report, Gray was put on administrative leave at Sylvan Hills Middle School in February.
An arrest warrant was issued, and she was charged with sexual assault.
Gray was later released on a $20,000 bail.
The church leader resigned during the investigation.
