Authorities say that Hailey Clifton-Carmack, who taught math at Laquey High School in Pulaski County, was arrested in Texas this week on felony charges of endangering the welfare of a child, statutory rape, sexual contact with a student and child molestation. An officer who served the warrant said Ms Clifton-Carmack “handed over her phone with no issues and did not have the normal behaviour of someone facing the same accusations.” At the time, the woman denied engaging in inappropriate relationships with students. He confirmed the sexual relationship to a witness, court documents state, and said that the teacher had used other students as “lookouts” while they had sex during school.
