A former Missouri math teacher who pleaded guilty to having sex with a student could serve a very short prison sentence thanks to a plea deal with his girlfriend.
As Blaze News reported in January, 26-year-old Haley Clifton Carmack was arrested on suspicion of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student.
“They're trying to do it behind my back, so I might as well let it happen.”
Clifton Carmack, a former teacher at LaQuie High School, is accused of having sex with minors multiple times at various locations, including inside the school.
witty tv According to the report, a witness told detectives with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office that the teacher and the victim were “using the students as monitors while they engaged in sex acts during class.” That's what it means.
The victim reportedly sent a photo of the wound on his back to a classmate. According to the police report, the student claimed the scars were caused by Clifton-Carmack after he had sex with her in the classmate's driveway.
Blaze News reported last month that the victim's father, Mark Clayton, was allegedly aware of the suspect's relationship with his son.
The anonymous witness told the father he was going to report child sexual abuse, and the father responded, “They're trying to do it behind my back, so I guess I'd better leave it alone.'' It has been reported.
The father reportedly admitted to Pulaski County Detective Sgt. Brian Gibbs said Clifton Carmack had come to his house.
prosecutor said “He knew about the relationship between his minor child and the 26-year-old teacher, but instead of reporting that information, he continued to protect them and allowed the relationship to continue,” Clayton said, adding, “Haley never came to her home. “And meet the victim while he's there.” ”
The boy's father was charged with child endangerment in January.
Clifton-Carmack reportedly denied the child sex crime charges when questioned by detectives in December 2023. Clifton-Carmack fled to Texas, was arrested in January and extradited to Missouri.
Clifton-Carmack was originally charged with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, second-degree statutory rape, sexual contact with a student, fourth-degree child molestation, and providing pornographic material to a minor. He was charged with a misdemeanor.
But the disgraced teacher made a deal and pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a student, which allowed him to escape more serious charges.
On Friday, Circuit Judge John Beggar sentenced Clifton-Carmack to four years in prison. The divorced mother of two was also ordered to complete a sex offender treatment program.
The judge also said, “If we receive a report on her progress and behavior within approximately 90 days, and if she performs well, her sentence may be suspended and she may be placed on probation.” KJLU-TV Reported.
