00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:06.519
Hey everyone, welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of the Elite.

2
00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.919
I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and it has been a

3
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.400
little while, but I am finally back with something other

4
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:18.839
than Sean Diddy Combs. And today do I have a

5
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:23.600
Bad Teachers episode for you. I'm going to be telling

6
00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:28.160
you the story of Christina for Mela, and as I

7
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.480
like to do, I'm gonna jump right into it. We're

8
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:35.719
gonna start with a little background on Christina. She was

9
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.119
born on December twenty ninth, nineteen ninety four, in Chicago, Illinois,

10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:44.119
and she was raised in what many would consider a

11
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:48.320
typical middle class family. It was a two parent household.

12
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.039
She had a younger sister growing up, and she was

13
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.840
very athletic growing up as well. As a matter of fact,

14
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.399
throughout high school she played soccer and was an absolute

15
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.640
standout soccer player in high school, so good in fact,

16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.079
that when she graduated from high school, she continued on

17
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:13.799
with her soccer career in college, playing for Concordia University

18
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.560
in Chicago. Now, she was also super smart, just prototypical

19
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:23.799
all American girl. Right. She meets a guy in college

20
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:28.920
and she would eventually marry him. His name was Michael Formela.

21
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.400
So she graduates college, she gets a degree in special education,

22
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.120
she's going to go into teaching, and she moves on

23
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.280
with life. Now by twenty twenty, she had found her

24
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.840
career path, and that was as a teacher of special

25
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:49.560
education at Downers Grove High School in Chicago. So from

26
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.599
the looks of it, by this point, she is absolutely

27
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.920
killing it. Christina Formela. She was dating one of the

28
00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:00.680
most prominent members of the Chicago community in Michael Formla.

29
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.239
His family. They own a company. It specializes in food service.

30
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.960
They supply condiments and all kinds of other things all

31
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.879
over the nation to restaurants and grocery stores, things like that.

32
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:20.319
Over one hundred years in business, this company multi multimillions

33
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:25.599
of dollars in value. So she's literally dating a member

34
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:31.240
of a multimillion dollar family, very well known and very respected,

35
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.240
this family in the Chicago, Illinois area. Now, even though

36
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.840
she had started her teaching career in twenty twenty, it

37
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:43.439
didn't stop her from going back to school and earning

38
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.800
a master's degree, which she did in English, and from

39
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.439
all accounts at this point, very well liked, very popular,

40
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.879
very beautiful. All the things life seemed perfect for Christina Formela,

41
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.960
so perfect in fact, that by August of twenty twenty four,

42
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:05.360
she marries Michael and what can only be described as

43
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:11.599
a fairytale wedding in Italy. But this perfect life would

44
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.680
come crashing down when less than a year later, on

45
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.159
March sixteenth of twenty twenty five, Christina, along with her husband,

46
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.360
who was in the passenger seat of that vehicle, they

47
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.879
get pulled over by Chicago police in her driveway of

48
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:34.479
her very affluent Chicago neighborhood. And this happens. Listen to

00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:35.000

Moment that it's an investigation that's likely.

107
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.600
Now I'm sorry, excuse me? Is my husband coming with Yes?

108
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.160
Yeah, he said his phone up her down.

109
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:07.759
We're staying in pus with him.

110
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.480
We're just going to down or grow the septen minutes away. No,

111
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.000
I know, but I really would prefer that my husband's

112
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:24.560
with me. Of course, am I in trouble?

113
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:29.040
Like I'm so, I'm so lost right now, I'm like.

114
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:35.040
She talked about right now, you're fadin more investigation. Never

115
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.399
bring here in the listener and once you get there,

116
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.399
we're gonna tell you that argues.

117
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:44.000
So what you just heard was the bodycam footage of

118
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:49.439
the officer obviously arresting Christina and they bring her to

119
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.639
the station and at this time that this occurred. Christina

120
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:57.519
is thirty years old, and Christina discovers after she gets

121
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:01.720
there that she is accused of having an inappropriate relationship

122
00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.560
with a victim who, at the time of this inappropriate

123
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.680
relationship when it started, was only fourteenth. So what brought

124
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.639
this on? How did the police find out? Was this

125
00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:16.879
all a big mistake? Is she innocent and just being

126
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.199
accused of this? We're going to get into it, so

127
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.000
I'm going to read you the factual basis as they

128
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.439
are referred to in this document. Around eleven five am

129
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.480
on March fifteenth, twenty twenty five, victim and it's redacted,

130
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.399
and his mother went to Downer's Grove Police Department to

131
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.639
report a sexual assault committed by Christina Formella, who was

132
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.639
soccer coach and teacher. The mother told officers the following

133
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.040
in summary. On March eleventh of twenty twenty five, the

134
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.879
victim's cell phone broke, so the mother purchased a new

135
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.639
phone for the victim. On March fourteenth, twenty twenty five,

136
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.600
she receives this new cell phone, she signs into the

137
00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:04.600
icon cloud, at which point text messages start populating. At

138
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.839
this time, the mother noticed a text thread with a

139
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:11.279
phone number. However, there was no name and no photo,

140
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:16.800
So she starts reading this thread and notices the following messages.

141
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:21.639
The victim quote, I love you so much, mama, unknown number.

142
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:25.720
I love you so much, baby. Even though this morning

143
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.959
was short, it was perfect. The victim. I know, baby,

144
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:35.879
it was perfect, baby, so perfect. Unknown number. I love

145
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.919
having sex with you. The victim, I know, baby, I

146
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:43.480
love it so much. It feels so good, it's so passionate,

147
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.559
it's so intimate, it's so perfect. So the mother sees

148
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.960
these messages, and what do you think of the first fucking

149
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.399
thing she does? She goes to her son and she says,

150
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.320
what is this? And who is this? And when questioned,

151
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.559
the victim disclosed that this phone number belonged to Christina,

152
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.919
his soccer coach. The mother was also able to confirm

153
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:10.080
that this phone number belonged to Christina for Mela, because

154
00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.639
she had Christina's phone number saved in her phone. She

155
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:17.919
had it because after her son had injured himself in soccer,

156
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:22.279
she had been asking Christina for an injury update. The

157
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.919
victim then disclosed he and the defendant exchange phone numbers

158
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:31.360
began flirtatiously texting with each other and ended up having

159
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:36.759
sexual intercourse according to him at this time, once inside

160
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.759
a classroom at Downers Grove South High School sometime in

161
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.600
December of twenty twenty three. Now, at the time of

162
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:47.039
that assault, the victim was fifteen years old and the

163
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.799
defendant was twenty eight years old. So during the interview,

164
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.639
officers learned that the victim had joined soccer in August

165
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.720
of twenty twenty two, which was his freshman year, and

166
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:03.840
the victim and Christina had been his soccer coach. Officers

167
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:08.799
further learned that Christina had started tutoring this student this

168
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.639
victim after he had broken his collarbone. Now, according to

169
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:16.000
the mother, he did not continue to play soccer after

170
00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.559
his freshman year, even though he had played since he

171
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.639
was eight years old, and his grades started dropping and

172
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.559
she couldn't figure out why. So later that day, the

173
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.000
Child Advocacy Center investigator conducts a forensic interview with this victim,

174
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.080
and during that forensic interview, the victim confirmed that Christina

175
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.519
had been his freshman soccer coach. She had started tutoring

176
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:43.360
him after he had broken his collarbone, and he had

177
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.759
broken it twice. It says once his freshman year in

178
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.080
another time his sophomore year. The victim said he and

179
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:54.360
Christina had began messaging each other through a school platform

180
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.679
and that she had given him her phone numbers so

181
00:10:57.759 --> 00:11:00.519
they could play an app that was no his eight

182
00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:04.679
ball pool game on Eyemassage. He said that was around

183
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:08.120
a year and a half prior to this interview. The

184
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.240
victim said that afterwards they had began exchanging what he

185
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.600
turned as flirtatious text messages, and he said at one

186
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:20.919
time Christina had facetimed him while she was Arizona. Now,

187
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:25.360
according to the victim, he and Christina had developed feelings

188
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:27.919
for each other. The victim said that one morning in

189
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:31.399
December twenty twenty three, before school, he met up with

190
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.600
Christina in her classroom. He said that Christina had closed

191
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:40.039
the door, which automatically locked, and they had started kissing.

192
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:43.000
He said that he grabbed her butt and she grabbed

193
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.559
his penis over his clothes, and then she removed his

194
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:50.519
pants and his underwear and they both had to remove

195
00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:53.600
her leggings and it was at that point they engaged

196
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:58.320
in sexual intercourse. While standing up, the victim said that

197
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:01.399
he was wearing a condom and that they had sex

198
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:06.159
until he ejaculated, and that he had subsequently flushed the

199
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:09.159
condom down the toilet so that it was not in

200
00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:13.720
the classroom garbage. The victim said that Christina had told

201
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.480
him that she liked it. According to the victim, he

202
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:20.200
had last spoken with Christina in February of twenty twenty four,

203
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:23.919
and they had both acknowledged it was wrong. According to

204
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:28.000
the victim, he and Christina had sex only that one time,

205
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.039
and he confirmed that it happened when he was fifteen

206
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.720
years old. He said, at the time he believed that

207
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.639
Christina was twenty six of twenty seven, but in actuality

208
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:41.399
she was twenty eight. So that leads us up to

209
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.639
the clip I just played you and I'll read a

210
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.200
subnosis of that. Around two forty six pm on March

211
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:52.080
sixteenth of twenty twenty five, detectives they conduct a traffic

212
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:56.080
stop on Christina and took her into custody. They seized

213
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.039
her phone. Detectives later searched that phone pursue it to

214
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.080
her consent, and they found what they termed as a

215
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.080
memoir in the notes section of her iPhone that was

216
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:11.639
last updated at ten forty five am on March sixteenth

217
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.639
of twenty twenty five, the same freaking day she got

218
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.519
pulled over. And then it quotes what those notes in

219
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:21.639
that notes app said, and I'm going to quote the

220
00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:25.799
relevant parts. Quote I, once again, from day fucking one,

221
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.519
called your next girlfriend. And then the name is redacted

222
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:34.320
out and it says girlfriend's name. You're so fucking predictable

223
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:38.639
and disgusting shocker. You cheated on me with her. All

224
00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.480
I was to you was somebody to fuck. I'm not upset,

225
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:44.480
I'm not mad, I'm not any of that. I've just

226
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:49.279
lost interest. I went back and screenshotted every single time

227
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:52.159
that I said we should break up until after the

228
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:56.679
wedding and after you graduated, and every single fucking time

229
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:59.559
you came back and convinced me it would be fine.

230
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.639
I initiated every single breakup, only for you to end

231
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.480
things saying you couldn't get over it. You ruined us.

232
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.320
I warned you we should have never started dating a long, long,

233
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:14.600
long fucking time ago, and you gas at me and

234
00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:18.320
convinced me it was fine every single time. Because that's

235
00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:21.639
who you are. We will never ever be together again.

236
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.039
I'm not a second choice. I'm the best thing you'll

237
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:29.000
ever have. Even with all of my mistakes, you once

238
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.519
again waited and strung me along until it was convenient

239
00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:36.279
for you. It broke me last time. This time it

240
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.159
changed me. I'm not sad. I'm fucking mad that I

241
00:14:40.279 --> 00:14:43.039
let a sixteen year old fuck with me like that,

242
00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:45.919
and I made a promise to myself I will never

243
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.159
let any guy fuck with me like that again. Ever,

244
00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.480
in the end, we both lost. You lost the girl

245
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.799
who would have stuck with you through thick and thin,

246
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.639
who would have changed everything about herself to make you happy.

247
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.240
And I lost the per And I was before I

248
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.039
met you. Unbelievable, y'all, unfreaking believable. This is a sixteen

249
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:10.679
year old kid at this point. And further down in

250
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:15.240
that notes app there was a section titled manifestations and

251
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:19.320
it reads Victim's name, which is redacted out, is going

252
00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.320
to reach out to me soon and try to fix

253
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.840
things between us. In the meantime, I'm going to live

254
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.399
my best life knowing he's not the person I thought

255
00:15:29.440 --> 00:15:32.440
he was and that he is beneath me. So in

256
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.039
addition to that, DETEC has found another note. This was

257
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:39.759
dated November eleventh of twenty twenty four, which says the

258
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.600
following and relevant part victim's name redacted out and I

259
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.360
will connect again soon in a positive way. We will

260
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:50.279
both get the closure we need in order to move

261
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.200
on in a healthy way. We will be able to

262
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.879
be a part of each other's lives forever. We will

263
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:00.600
be in each other's lives forever. We will be able

264
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.960
to love each other while also living our own lives.

265
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.519
Pretty damning information there.

266
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:14.240
Jim, did you see what happened in Texas today?

267
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.960
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you

268
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.399
what happened in New York. It cannot be as crazy

269
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:21.759
as the case I told you about yesterday in Louisiana.

270
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:24.679
You know what, we should do a podcast about it,

271
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.879
and with that we did. Crime War Weekly covers the

272

this podcast now. Afterwards, detectives interviewed Christina Formela and she

278
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:03.120
adamantly denies having sex with this kid. According to Christina,

279
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.839
everybody comes after her because she's good looking. She's just

280
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.160
a good person who cared too much about and it's

281
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.920
redacted out now. In the same breath, Christina admitted that

282
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:19.640
she knew her relationship was wrong, but that she was

283
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.680
unable to stop it, she said, because she cares about

284
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.680
him too much. So when confronted with the text messages

285
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.079
found on this kid's phone, she claimed that one day,

286
00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.480
this kid had grabbed her phone unattended, entered her password,

287
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.079
which he allegedly knew because she said he saw her

288
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:42.119
type it in her phone one day, and she said

289
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.960
he sent the message to his phone from her phone

290
00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.400
and then deleted the message from her phone after he

291
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:52.319
did that, and had saved it to his phone as blackmail.

292
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.599
According to Christina, she had no idea these text messages

293
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.480
even existed, so when they confronted her with these notes

294
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.279
that they had found in her phone, Christina described those

295
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.839
as an outlet for her anxiety. She said her anxiety

296
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:12.720
was because her and this kid had opened up to

297
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.519
each other. According to Christina, she didn't want to see

298
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:19.359
this kid get into trouble like his older brother did,

299
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:24.559
and Christina admitted that the entire March sixteenth, twenty twenty five,

300
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:29.480
note was about this kid, but then she pivoted and

301
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:33.839
she said any reference to sex was about her husband,

302
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.480
not about the kid. So when I asked about the

303
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:42.519
statements referencing cheating, Christina blamed the kid for cheating on

304
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:47.160
her emotionally by having sex with his girlfriend, and she

305
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.200
said that was because she cared about this kid and

306
00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:53.759
looked out for this kid, but they had never done anything.

307
00:18:55.400 --> 00:18:59.039
So throughout the interview, Christina tried to paint this kid

308
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:03.119
as a stalker, and she claimed that her husband was aware.

309
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:07.880
But oddly enough, her husband, when they talked to him

310
00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.640
about that, he told detagtives he knew nothing about this

311
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:15.559
kid beyond that he played soccer and she coached him

312
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:18.440
at one point. He also confirmed that he does not

313
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:23.599
go through Christina's phone. So despite her allegations against this kid,

314
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.400
Christina did admit that she never reported anything to the

315
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.640
administration at the school or to the kid's mother. Remembers

316
00:19:31.640 --> 00:19:34.000
she said this kid was practically stalking her, but she

317
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.079
told nobody about this. So there you have that. Now.

318
00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:40.079
It's important to note before we go any further. Christina,

319
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:44.240
at this point, she's charged with two counts of aggravated

320
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:48.880
criminal sexual abuse in one count of sexual assault, and

321
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:53.599
these are all classified as felonies in the state of Illinois.

322
00:19:53.880 --> 00:19:58.039
And as I told you, her story completely different than

323
00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:02.359
that of the victims. She claimed she was essentially set

324
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.799
up by this victim because she was extremely attractive, and

325
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.079
this victim formed a crush on her and made her

326
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.279
a target. And I'm going to load some pictures of Christina,

327
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.519
a few on the Facebook page and several more on

328
00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:21.839
the Patreon for Patreon members. You're not going to get

329
00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:24.640
any dispute from me that this kid probably had a

330
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.160
crush on her. Any young man fourteen or fifteen would

331
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:30.839
have had a crush on this teacher. She was beautiful,

332
00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:35.319
but she had some problems. So that's about the only

333
00:20:35.400 --> 00:20:38.480
thing that she probably said that was true. However, it

334
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.440
looks to me like she was stalking this student, and

335
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:44.480
we'll get into that a little further. So I'm going

336
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.880
to play you another clip after they questioned Christina, because

337
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.720
they weren't buying her story any more than I am

338
00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:54.960
and any more than you probably are, So they put

339
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:57.079
her in the police car so they could take her

340
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.480
and book her into jail, which is in another section

341
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.519
in the building. She didn't like that too much. Here's

342
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:07.200
what that sounded like, unless sir, you.

343
00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:14.680
Ever sit down there? Sure you don't want a tissue

344
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:15.759
or something?

345
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:18.759
All right?

346
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:23.839
Shana? You grab u bag out of there?

347
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:27.039
Holy a fro driver?

348
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:31.000
Hey can you get like a bag? She su case

349
00:21:31.079 --> 00:21:34.079
she gets nauseous. I don't know, do we have any

350
00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.640
of those amisodes bags like going around? I figure something

351
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:39.119
better than.

352
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:44.680
Here.

353
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:45.559
You stay with her all the.

354
00:21:45.599 --> 00:22:14.279
Brother mm hmmm, God, what the fuck?

355
00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:50.160
Let's kind of play on the floor here if you

356
00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:51.839
can tell us someon we're here if you need it, all.

357
00:22:51.759 --> 00:22:54.240
Right, thank you.

358
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:24.720
So you heard that this chick is panicking, and rightfully so.

359
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:28.759
She's in a ship pile of trouble by this point.

360
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.279
And it's interesting to note that this is March of

361
00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:36.640
twenty twenty five, and they didn't have any contact with

362
00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:40.839
each other since February of twenty twenty four, So in

363
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:45.799
her mind, she's actually probably double shocked, if you will,

364
00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:50.960
because it's been fourteen months over a year since they

365
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:54.440
even had contact with each other. She probably thought she

366
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:57.240
was in the free and clear of all this stuff

367
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:01.160
and would never be approached about this relationlationship after that

368
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:04.599
time passed, but even though they hadn't spoken fourteen Moss

369
00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:08.079
she still had those affirmations on her phone, which she

370
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:12.240
updated recently, and those affirmations really paint a picture of

371
00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:14.839
someone who is hoping that at some point in the future,

372
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.079
this kid's going to surface again and they're going to

373
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:24.039
renew things. She's actually trying to speak this into reality.

374
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:28.440
So on March seventeenth of twenty twenty five, she goes

375
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:33.279
into her first court hearing and prosecutors they push at

376
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:35.720
this point to keep her locked up. They don't want

377
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:39.319
her to get bail, but that didn't happen. They did

378
00:24:39.440 --> 00:24:42.559
give her bail, and it seemed during this time that

379
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.319
her husband, he's standing by her side. He believes his

380
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:50.319
wife's story. So she makes bail and she has some

381
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:55.279
conditions which were no contact with minors, no entry onto

382
00:24:55.319 --> 00:25:00.359
school property, GPS tracking device, and another interesting thing is

383
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:03.640
she couldn't go within a certain amount of feet of

384
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.440
the victim, and it was actually five thousand feet, but

385
00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:10.920
there was a problem with that in that the student

386
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.240
worked at a facility that was less than five thousand

387
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:19.039
feet from where Christina live, So the issue became she

388
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:22.960
could not live at home with those conditions. So at

389
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:26.519
some point they get to the judge and they ask him.

390
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.920
They explained to him that her home that she lives

391
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.240
at with her husband is less than five thousand feet

392
00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:36.319
from where this kid worked, and they wanted the judge

393
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:40.400
to lower the footage, if you will, to twenty five

394
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:43.160
hundred feet, so that she could live at home, and

395
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:47.599
the judge says, fuck you. He denies that, and so

396
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.039
she has to go live with her parents, who are

397
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:55.799
more than five thousand feet away from this minor, which incidentally,

398
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:01.279
by this point is seventeen. So how did Christina start

399
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:04.599
with this kid? How did this whole shit show start?

400
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:08.079
How did it get to this point, etc. Well, from

401
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.799
what is allege, the whole relationship started via the school

402
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:16.880
messaging system, as I told you. From there, the student

403
00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:21.680
and Christina started communicating on an app called a ballpool.

404
00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.079
And look, I'm going to deviate here for a second,

405
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.599
but in tons of these cases that I cover on

406
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:31.599
bad teachers, that's how they start communicating. It's not reach

407
00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:35.359
out via I Message anymore. They're smarter than that. What

408
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:38.359
they do is they go through apps like this eight

409
00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:41.640
ball Pool, where you can message while you're playing the game,

410
00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:44.480
and they don't play the game, they just message the

411
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.920
whole time. And that's a grooming technique, right, Otherwise, why

412
00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:50.960
would a teacher want to play a ballpool with a

413
00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:54.640
fourteen fifteen year old kid. So not only do some

414
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.400
of the messages get out, but what really gets out

415
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:01.839
that is shocking is that when Christina was out of town,

416
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:07.119
they would FaceTime each other. Get this, Even when she

417
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:12.240
was in Italy preparing for her wedding, she was facetiming

418
00:27:12.880 --> 00:27:19.920
this student. Holy smokes, how did the actual sexual relationship start,

419
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.480
you may wonder. Well, in December of twenty twenty three,

420
00:27:24.000 --> 00:27:27.960
that first sexual encounter happened in the classroom before school.

421
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:32.440
At that time, the student was fifteen, Christina was twenty eight. Now,

422
00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:36.240
this was, in the perception of the public, the only

423
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:39.279
time they had sex. This looked like a one time deal.

424
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:43.559
Not that that's okay and a great thing, but compared

425
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.920
to what we're about to find out, it's a hell

426
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:49.359
of a lot better. And I'm sure her husband also

427
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.640
thought it was a one time thing. But things would

428
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.400
go from bad to worse for Christina. At a hearing

429
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.559
on June seventeenth of twenty twenty five, Christina shows up

430
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.480
to that hearing hand in hand with her husband. She's

431
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:07.400
dressed to the nines. She looks beautiful and confident when

432
00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.119
she walked into that hearing, not so much when she

433
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.680
walked out of it. At that hearing, Christina gets hit

434
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:22.599
with another hold onto your hat fifty two charges on

435
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.880
top of the already three felonies that I told you about,

436
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.440
So that brings the entire total to fifty five counts.

437
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:35.519
You're talking at this point, this girl is facing over

438
00:28:35.799 --> 00:28:40.039
sixty years in prison, and the most surprised person outside

439
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:44.359
of Christina that all these other charges came out probably

440
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:48.000
her husband. She gets hit with an additional twenty counts

441
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.839
of criminal sexual assault, an additional twenty counts of aggravated

442
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:58.680
criminal sexual abuse, six counts of indecent solicitation of a child,

443
00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:03.079
in six counts of grooming. Now why the jumping charges, Well,

444
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:06.720
the police actually had time to build that case beyond

445
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.240
those two counts. They start digging into these text messages.

446
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:16.079
They start seeing a lot of wild shit taking place

447
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:19.480
in those text messages. They learned that this was not

448
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:22.599
a one time thing. In fact, this was an ongoing

449
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:28.440
relationship over two years with this student. The prosecutor said

450
00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:32.519
they had found thousands of text messages, and not friendly

451
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:37.640
sorts of text messages or even just flirty sorts. We're

452
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:42.839
talking confessions of love, plans to meet at all kinds

453
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.319
of different places, about how they're going to keep this

454
00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:51.079
secret hidden from everyone. And it seemed when reviewing these

455
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:55.400
texts that the initiator of all of this, to no

456
00:29:55.559 --> 00:30:01.559
surprise to me, was Christina Formela Chi was not only

457
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:05.839
lying to her husband, she was also lying to this kid.

458
00:30:06.440 --> 00:30:08.759
She had told the kid at one point she wasn't

459
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:13.599
even with Michael anymore, and this kid started pressing her

460
00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:17.759
on this, realizing she was lying, and then she makes

461
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.240
this crazy claim in these texts of this kid that

462
00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:24.240
she had to marry Michael because he was blackmailing her

463
00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:26.960
with some stuff and she would go to jail if

464
00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:31.400
she didn't marry him. Just total made up bullshit. She

465
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:35.240
went so far, in fact with that particular lie. The

466
00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:38.160
police learned, and I'm going to jump ahead a little bit,

467
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:42.359
but police learned they had sex at her house several times,

468
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:46.960
and she would hide anything that showed that she was

469
00:30:47.000 --> 00:30:50.599
still married to her husband, Michael. She would hide him

470
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:54.359
in closets under beds here talking like pictures of the

471
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:59.279
two of them together, wedding announcements, whatever, anything to do

472
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:02.759
with the marriage. When that kid went into the house,

473
00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:05.319
you would have thought they were divorced. She was hiding

474
00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:09.039
this from a fourteen year old kid. She even told

475
00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:12.480
this kid that she hated Michael because he was cheating

476
00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:15.000
on her with one of her friends, and that as

477
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.960
soon as this kid graduated from high school, she was

478
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:19.799
going to marry him and they were going to start

479
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:24.799
their life together. There were videos police discovered where Christina

480
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:30.519
was filming herself masturbating while looking at a picture of

481
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:35.400
this kid, complete with moaning the kid's name as she

482
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:40.880
orgasmed and y'all. That's important because it proves who that

483
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:44.839
video was intended for. Wasn't her husband's name, It was

484
00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:48.559
this kid's name. But she sends that video to the kid,

485
00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:53.160
and then she asked him to reciprocate and basically do

486
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:58.720
the same thing, send the same thing back to her. Sick.

487
00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:04.880
Police said there were at least forty five sexual encounters

488
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.960
at the school. Forty five. How do you even hide

489
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:13.839
forty five instances of having sex with a student at

490
00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:17.559
your school? Does anybody have their eyes open at that school.

491
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.119
That's crazy. They also said there were at least five

492
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:24.559
sexual encounters that took place in her home, and police

493
00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:28.759
said in one instance, Michael came home unexpectedly while the

494
00:32:28.839 --> 00:32:32.279
student was on the way to her house. So when

495
00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:37.240
Michael left, she texted the student and told him, you

496
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.960
know it's safe, you can come onto the house. Michael's gone, unbelievable.

497
00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:46.480
The police interviewed a neighbor and he reported seeing the

498
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:51.680
victim walking through Christina's backyard one day, essentially sneaking over

499
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.519
to her house, and that neighbor's eyebrows were raised and

500
00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:59.039
speaking of neighbors, at one point, Christina even texted the

501
00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:02.200
victim and she said that she was scared because one

502
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:05.240
of her neighbors got caught doing the same thing that

503
00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.200
she was doing, referring to sleeping with someone underage. And

504
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:13.079
that's important, y'all because that proves that she knew it

505
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:16.519
was wrong. She can't deny that now. Connon sense would

506
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:18.440
tell you she knew it was wrong, but now she

507
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:20.720
can't deny it. She's gott in him writing she was

508
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:24.680
scared that she may get caught doing something illegal. Right.

509
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:27.640
There was even a text where the student was talking

510
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:32.160
to Christina about them almost getting caught by another teacher

511
00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:34.839
when they had sex at the school one day. It

512
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:38.200
really makes your mind blinded the fact that her husband

513
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.279
is still with her. All I can say is he's

514
00:33:41.440 --> 00:33:44.279
naive or he's blinded by love. I don't know what

515
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.839
it is, but he's still with her. As a matter

516
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:50.960
of fact, there were some texts that the police uncovered

517
00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:54.200
where Christina said to the victim that her whole plan

518
00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:58.319
was to marry Michael. Now, remember a lot of this

519
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.920
relationship was going on even before her and Michael got married.

520
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:04.799
But her plan was to marry him, and when the

521
00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:09.519
student graduated, she was going to divorce Michael, get millions

522
00:34:09.519 --> 00:34:13.400
of dollars from that divorce, and then essentially the two

523
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.000
of them could be together. And her husband knows that

524
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:20.239
the stuff got uncovered, and he's still with her, at

525
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:23.840
least as of her last hearing. That's the biggest mind

526
00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:26.880
blower to me of allved. She even discussed having kids

527
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:29.400
with this student, and she said in one text that

528
00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:32.400
if the student was incapable of having kids, I guess

529
00:34:32.440 --> 00:34:35.599
if he's sterile or something, she would get a sperm

530
00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:38.599
done her because if she couldn't have kids with the victim.

531
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:42.039
She didn't want to have kids with anyone. And incidentally,

532
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.239
you know, I cover a lot of these cases where

533
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:50.199
the police always ask can you describe something about the

534
00:34:50.280 --> 00:34:54.239
teacher that only people that were having sex with her

535
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.079
would know? The student in this case was able to

536
00:34:57.079 --> 00:35:00.480
do that. He confirmed that Christina had a tattoo, and

537
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.719
this tattoo is apparently somewhere on her body you wouldn't

538
00:35:03.760 --> 00:35:07.719
see unless you were nude, and he confirmed it, said

539
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:10.679
what it looked like, and he was right, So there's

540
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:15.639
no denying it. Now. Another interesting thing is I told

541
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.320
you at the beginning they had not had contact in

542
00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:24.199
fourteen months, and that's true. However, the police did discover

543
00:35:24.360 --> 00:35:29.320
that Christina actually attempted to contact the student. Just two

544
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.960
days before her arrest. She had emailed the student and

545
00:35:33.000 --> 00:35:35.960
she asked about a fight that the student had got

546
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:41.039
into at school via that email, and she also allegedly

547
00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:44.719
attached a map to her house in that email. She

548
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:51.320
was obsessed with this kid. Now, the prominent Formla family,

549
00:35:51.719 --> 00:35:55.000
they have even come out with a statement and he

550
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:58.360
quite honestly shock the shit out of me. Wait till

551
00:35:58.360 --> 00:36:01.840
I read you this quote. The public shaming of this

552
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:06.920
woman accused of sexual misconduct reflects deeply embedded patterns of

553
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:11.920
misogyny that have persisted across generations. Christina has become the

554
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:17.719
latest target of this troubling phenomenon, subjected to relentless personal

555
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:22.840
attacks and the sexist scrutiny that ignore the legal process entirely.

556
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:25.840
The statement then went on to say this isn't just

557
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:29.519
a double standard, it's a spectacle, a public ritual that

558
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:32.400
punishes a woman not for what they've done, but for

559
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:36.639
how they're perceived. Instead of discussing the facts or law,

560
00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:42.159
public discourse fixates on Christina's appearance, her private life, even

561
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:46.559
her lipstick, as if those details bear on guilt or innocence.

562
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:52.280
That's not legal analysis. Its voyeurism, moral judgment, and cruelty

563
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.639
excused by self serving performance of concern for an alleged victim.

564
00:36:57.880 --> 00:37:00.400
And all I can say about that is is it's

565
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:06.119
totally unreal and this family is in complete fucking denial

566
00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:09.880
because of all those texts. If a video of this

567
00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:14.039
chick masturbating and moaning the name of a fourteen year

568
00:37:14.079 --> 00:37:17.800
old or not enough for you, you look like an idiot.

569
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:21.920
That's my opinion. It's just unreal. It seems that they're

570
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:25.880
buying into whatever bullshit story she is telling them hook

571
00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:31.000
line and Sinker, even with the video evidence. Now, Christina

572
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:36.400
Formella's next court hearing is scheduled for August fourth of

573
00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:40.639
twenty twenty five, and it's reported that that is also

574
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.119
a status hearing, so it'll be interesting to see if

575
00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:47.519
her husband is still with her at this hearing. But

576
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:52.639
judging by that statement the Formula family put out, it

577
00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.239
wouldn't surprise me if he was. So that's what we

578
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:59.639
got for now on this one. It's really trending all

579
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.320
over the internet. A lot of tiktoks on this one,

580
00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:06.159
as you could imagine, but I put all those details

581
00:38:06.199 --> 00:38:08.840
together and wanted to make sure that I brought it

582
00:38:09.000 --> 00:38:12.079
