The following is a Press Release From the Canadian County Sheriff's Office:
**** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ****
Investigators with the Canadian County Sheriff’s Office arrested Hunter Day, a 22 year old female, of Yukon on Wednesday after the Sheriff’s Office received a complaint from some parents that Day was having an illegal relationship with their son.
Day, a school teacher with Yukon Public Schools was arrested by investigators at her Yukon residence after the Sheriff’s Office received a complaint by the under-aged boy’s parents who brought their son’s cell phone to the Sheriff’s Office, and asked for a forensic review of the phone. The parents told investigators they had already been through the phone and discovered text messages and nude photographs, and were concerned Day had already had sex with their son. They were also extremely concerned because they believed Day was their son’s Chemistry teacher.
During the course of the phone examination, investigators determined Day and the under aged boy had already had sexual intercourse, and that additional plans had been made to meet at her residence on Wednesday afternoon to have sex again.
“This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust. School teachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them,” said Chris West, Canadian County Sheriff.
With the information that a prearranged meeting was already in place, Investigators using the boy’s cell phone contacted Day acting as if they were him, and asked if the meeting was still on. Day replied “yes,” and indicated that he should hurry up and get there before her husband got home from work.
Once at the residence, Investigators sent a text message to Day from the boy’s cell phone, and said “I’m here.” Day responded “the doors unlocked as usual.” Investigators opened the door and found Day sitting on the living floor with the lights turned off, candles lit, and wearing a T-shirt and workout shorts.
Investigators identified themselves, and told Day why they were there. Day fully cooperated, and admitted to having an illegal sexual relationship with the boy. She also admitted to sending bra and panty pics, and that she had received photos of the boys genitalia.
While this is the first school teacher the Canadian County Sheriff’s Office has arrested for having sex with a student, their Internet Crimes Against Children unit has arrested many other people working in positions of public trust, including members of law enforcement, fire fighters, and even the clergy.
“I’m no longer surprised by the people who commit these crimes, because predators come from all walks of life,” said West.
Day was taken into custody and transported to the Canadian County jail, where she was booked on the charges of Rape in the Second Degree, Possession of Child Pornography, and Soliciting Sex From a Minor Using Technology. Her bond was set eighty five thousand dollars.
