A 45-year-old instructor was taken into custody by the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) on suspicion of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old pupil.
Officials claim that many complaints concerning interactions between instructor Shannon Heslip and a 14-year-old kid were made to the Choctaw Middle School administration by teachers and employees.
The school got in touch with the teen’s relatives. The family discovered text communications between Heslip and the teen and then phoned the authorities.
Heslip reportedly switched the conversation with the youngster to Snapchat, where they were allegedly “exchanging naked images,” according to the sheriff’s office.
The 14-year-phone old’s allegedly had a picture of Heslip’s bare breast, according to deputies.
Deputies reported that Heslip picked up the adolescent from the basketball court on October 18, 2021, before taking him on a hike and getting him some ice cream before taking him home.
Police reported the teen was taken into the garage by Heslip, who then sexually assaulted him.
On December 21, 2022, Heslip was charged with one count of using technology to communicate for sexual interest with a kid and one count of performing lewd or indecent conduct on a child.
Heslip, according to authorities, was charged with forcible sodomy and released after posting a $50,000 bond.
