00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.120
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of
2
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.079
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today we
3
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:33.359
are back with the seventh installment in our Bad Teachers series,
4
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.799
and I'm taking you to Oklahoma for this one in
5
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.359
the Welston School District to tell you the story of
6
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:48.079
Emma Dulaney Hancock and her alleged relationship with a fifteen
7
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:54.000
year old student in her role as a substitute teacher. So,
8
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:58.520
Emma Hancock, she was twenty six years old when these
9
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:03.200
allegations I'm about to tell you about surfaced. And originally
10
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:08.000
when these allegations came out, the investigation was being led
11
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:13.760
by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and not the
12
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:20.280
local police. Why you may ask, Well, it was due
13
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:24.400
to the fact that she was the wife of the
14
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:30.640
Wellston police chief and the daughter of the town's mayor,
15
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:36.480
if you can imagine that. Obviously a major conflict of
16
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:43.760
interest there. So the state's investigative unit took over the case. Physically,
17
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.640
very attractive woman, long blond hair, and like most of them,
18
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:54.959
we cover beautiful. So let's get into what was alleged.
19
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.319
Now.
20
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.879
On November third of twenty twenty two, a fifteen year
21
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:07.480
old student's father receives a call from the principal of
22
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:13.280
Wellston Public Schools and he asked the father if they
23
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:18.080
could meet to discuss some concerns that a teacher was
24
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:23.719
having an inappropriate relationship with his son. Couldn't imagine getting
25
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.479
that call. So the father meets with the principal and
26
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.960
the principal explains that a teacher reported to him that
27
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:36.800
some students have brought up to that teacher the fact
28
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:42.120
that the relationship was taking place. So the principal starts
29
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:46.360
investigating this and he tells the father, I have some
30
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:50.159
surveillance videos of the hallways of the school building and
31
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:52.639
I want to show you something that's concerning.
32
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:54.240
Now.
33
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.360
They look at the surveillance videos and in one of
34
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.599
the videos, you can see the student go into the
35
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.879
classroom where Miss Hancock was substitute teaching.
36
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.479
At this time. It was lunchtime.
37
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.520
She was in that classroom alone, and that student did
38
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:17.960
not emerge from that classroom until forty five minutes later. So,
39
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:21.879
after viewing the video, the father goes home and he
40
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.000
speaks with his son, and the fifteen year old tells
41
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.120
the father that he and Hancock were in fact having
42
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.280
a relationship. So the father tells his son to define
43
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:39.560
what he considers a relationship, and the son states that
44
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:44.000
he and the teacher would quote touch each other in
45
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:50.039
a sexual manner. Then the student gets into specifics of
46
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.240
what would happen at school, saying that the relationship initially
47
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:59.919
started when Hancock and the student began communicating over tech
48
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:08.439
regarding a schoolwork assignment. Later, things escalated when on Snapchat,
49
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.400
the student posted a picture of himself and he didn't
50
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.599
have his shirt on. He was in the baseball locker
51
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:21.240
room for the baseball players, and Emma Hancock replies to
52
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.160
that snapchat by saying, are we sending.
53
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.959
Half new pictures? Now?
54
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:33.240
So the fifteen year old does what probably most fifteen
55
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:36.639
year old males would do when it's a beautiful teacher
56
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.120
like this. The fifteen year old response, I don't know,
57
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:45.120
are we, to which Hancock replies, are you trying to
58
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.839
get me to lose my job? And this is important
59
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:53.480
that reply, because that statement right there proves beyond a
60
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.800
shadow of a doubt that Hancock knew the communication was inappropriate.
61
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.399
Now that may seem like common sense, really it is
62
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:05.920
common sense, but that statement right there clearly indicates she
63
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.199
knew she could lose her job for communicating with him
64
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.519
like that. There's no way she can deny that, right.
65
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.600
So from there, Hancock sends the student a Snapchat picture
66
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:23.279
of herself while naked in her bathtub. Then the very
67
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.959
next night, Emma Hancock sends the student a picture of
68
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.160
herself naked, but she had a blanket covering her breast
69
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:38.800
down and the student he responds with move the blanket down,
70
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.879
to which Hancock sends another picture showing her completely exposed
71
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:49.040
breast with the blanket pulled below them. And then it
72
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.759
got even worse. On October twenty fifth of twenty twenty two,
73
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:57.360
Emma Hancock sends a snap to the fifteen year old,
74
00:05:57.399 --> 00:06:02.160
exposing both of her breast and her vagina, and in return,
75
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:07.040
the student sends Hancock a fully nude picture of him,
76
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:15.000
exposing his erect penis, And over the following week, Emma
77
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.839
Hancock and the students send nude pictures and videos of themselves,
78
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:28.160
even videos masturbating back and forth through Snapchat. Also during
79
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.560
that particular week, on October twenty sixth of twenty twenty two,
80
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.959
to be exact, is when the two were learning that
81
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.519
classroom for forty five minutes that I told you about
82
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.920
at the start of this one. And it's interesting to
83
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.759
note that, according to a lawsuit filed by the student's father,
84
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.160
which I'm quoting from here, Emma Hancock arranged for this
85
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:56.439
rendezvous with the student in that classroom by messaging another
86
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:01.439
student on Snapchat and telling her to inform the team
87
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.720
to go to her room at lunchtime because she quote
88
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:08.120
had something for him.
89
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:09.680
But she also.
90
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:14.800
Instructed this student to keep it quiet. So right there
91
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:19.040
with that student, I'm sure that raised an antenna that
92
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:22.319
something ain't right if this teacher's wanting me to keep
93
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.639
it quiet, that this boy's going to his room now.
94
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.680
When this all came out, it was discovered that in
95
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:33.279
that classroom, the student and the teacher engaged in various
96
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.720
sex acts, although it doesn't go into detail in the
97
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.240
lawsuit as to.
98
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.560
What those sex acts were.
99
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.240
Now, when they were finished, the teacher told the teen
100
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.720
he had to swear to secrecy regarding this encounter. And
101
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:52.160
it's important to know that a fifteen year old in
102
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:59.079
the state of Oklahoma cannot consent to sexual contact with
103
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.079
an adult, and even if under that circumstance, the law
104
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.079
said they could because in some states you can consent
105
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:11.560
at fifteen. Oklahoma is one of the states where the
106
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:16.839
law stipulates that, regardless of your age, a student can't
107
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.680
consent to sex with a teacher. So even if he
108
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.519
was seventeen, even if he was eighteen, if he's in
109
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:26.240
high school and she's teaching him, he can't consent to
110
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:32.320
sex under Oklahoma law. So on October thirtieth of twenty
111
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.919
twenty two, Emma Delaney Hancock, she gets assigned as a
112
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:42.000
substitute teacher in another class during the lunchtime break, what
113
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:44.759
do you think she does? She calls that student into
114
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.279
that class and she allows.
115
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.080
The student to use her vate pen.
116
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.639
After the student took a hit from the vatee, Emma
117
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:58.799
Delaney Hancock suggested they should quote make out. So they
118
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.399
go to a more secluded area of the empty classroom,
119
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:07.840
specifically the closet, and according to the lawsuit, Emma Hancock
120
00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:15.159
aggressively kisses the student. Now, Hancock then gifts the student
121
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:21.639
a VPE pen a charger in two or three VPE cartridges, which, y'all,
122
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.720
this would be considered a form of grooming that student.
123
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.320
She's gone her in favor with him right, gifting him
124
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.559
things in an effort to build his trust and an
125
00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:36.799
effort to lure him in. And keep in mind, this
126
00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:42.120
is the chief of Police's wife. Incidentally, she's got two
127
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:47.320
young daughters at this time. She's also the mayor's daughter herself.
128
00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:52.080
Just a unique case, so we'll move on. On November
129
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.320
third of twenty twenty two. Emma Hancock gets a signed
130
00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:01.159
to sub again and again, she as a student popped
131
00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:04.200
by her class at lunch and hit that vate pen
132
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:10.000
and according to the actual verbiage in the lawsuit, she
133
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:14.200
kissed the student, putting her tongue in his mouth, and
134
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:18.879
sexually molested the student by rubbing his crotch area and
135
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:23.799
upon his penis while having him grope or buttocks. Now,
136
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:29.080
at one point during these instances, the student does what
137
00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.919
just about every student we have covered did. He tells
138
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:38.320
a friend in two in three and four right, and
139
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:44.240
one of those friends actually confronts Hancock about it and
140
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:45.919
asked Hancock if.
141
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.559
It were true.
142
00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:52.399
So Hancock initially denies it to the student, and this
143
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:57.600
was all given under direct testimony Minji. She initially denies it,
144
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:01.759
but then she admits to it and tells the friend.
145
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:05.440
She wasn't really concerned about it because, quote, they were
146
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:11.240
not going to get caught, according to that student, but
147
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:17.360
they did so. Back to early November of twenty twenty two,
148
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.600
when I started this story, the school, they're made aware
149
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.399
of this by that other teacher who some students had
150
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:29.200
told about this relationship, and they reviewed that surveillance footage.
151
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.440
The dad talked to the son, he laid out the details,
152
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.200
and the investigation started. And as I told you, no
153
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:42.159
normal investigation by any stretch. Chief of Police's wife, mayor's
154
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.039
daughter and a mother right, no doubt, in no small
155
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.399
part to the fact that she was in a privileged
156
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:54.120
position politically due to who she was married to and
157
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.519
the fact that her dad was the mayor. It took
158
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.039
a while. I mean, you don't want to mess this
159
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.000
one up if you're the investigators.
160
00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.360
Right.
161
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:08.039
On April thirteenth of twenty twenty three, she is arrested
162
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.399
and she's charged with leude or indecent proposals or acts
163
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:18.559
to a child under sixteen, solicitating sexual conduct or communication
164
00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:22.279
with a minor by use of technology, and obscene or
165
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:27.080
indecent writings and pictures. And it's important to note these
166
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.159
charges change over time. Typically you'll see them get added
167
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:35.720
to as more information comes out and as the investigation
168
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:41.480
really hits a big, good stride. But at this point
169
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.320
they're just wanting enough to charge her. It's important to
170
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:47.639
note that Emma Hancock, she knew it was coming, and
171
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.519
she actually turned herself in upon being alerted that an
172
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:56.279
arrest warrant was issued and it was approved by a judge.
173
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.720
She was in fact fully aware.
174
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:02.159
They were investigating these allegations, and not just because her
175
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:04.080
husband was the chief of police.
176
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.080
But when the.
177
00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.440
School found out about this way back in November of
178
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:15.320
that prior year, they removed Hancock from the substitute teacher
179
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.679
call list and she was not allowed back on campus.
180
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.480
So she knew this was coming at some point. Finally
181
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.279
she gets arrested and she bails out, pinning her trial,
182
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.559
and in late October of twenty twenty four, that trial
183
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.559
takes place, and wow, did some details come out during
184
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:40.480
that trial. First, it came out that there were two
185
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.360
eighth grade students and they told police she showed them videos.
186
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:49.799
One of the videos was of the teacher kissing another woman,
187
00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:55.080
and another video was her pretending to perform oral sex
188
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:00.399
on a dildo at a Halloween party. Some twenty winnesses
189
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:04.559
testified on behalf of the state, and those witnesses included
190
00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:09.240
the student who had had the relationship with Hancock, his friends,
191
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:15.639
his parents, those two eighth graders who reported the video incidents,
192
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:22.039
and for law enforcement agents. Now, by this time, Hancock
193
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:25.840
was twenty eight and during the trial she was going
194
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:29.519
by her middle name, which was delaying, and she actually
195
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:33.000
took the stand in her own defense, and she denied
196
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:38.320
the existence of any inappropriate relationship between herself and the
197
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:42.000
fifteen year old student and said they never sent each
198
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:46.480
other sexual messages. She also said she did not show
199
00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:50.240
the eighth graders the videos. However, she did not deny
200
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.120
their existence. She said instead that they were looking over
201
00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:00.679
her shoulder as the videos played the state's witness they
202
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.679
all laid out the story of an alleged relationship between
203
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:09.480
Hancock and the students that began on Snapchat, and throughout
204
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:14.200
the trial, Hancock's defense team, as is their job, they
205
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.600
attempted to cast doubt on the prosecutor's case by pointing
206
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.600
out numerous times the student told his friends of his
207
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:27.639
relationship with Hancock, and although multiple students told jurors that
208
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:31.960
the student had flaunted his relationship with the substitute and
209
00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:36.759
showed them pictures and messages she had sent him. The
210
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:41.519
student himself testified that he did not tell anyone about
211
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:46.720
his relationship with Hancock until his father confronted him about
212
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:52.840
it after meeting with that high school principle. So that's
213
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.399
kind of an issue because all these kids are coming
214
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.240
out saying they saw videos in this student was bragging
215
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:03.039
about it. But he gets on the stand and says,
216
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:05.600
I didn't tell anybody about it until my dad asked
217
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:10.919
me about it. Now, Hancock's defense team they recalled that
218
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.120
student at that point because there's a discrepancy right between
219
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.039
what these other students are saying and what he testified
220
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:21.720
to and he just stuck to his story. So despite
221
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.759
the conflicting statements, there was still a relationship there. The
222
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.240
students were saying it and he was saying it. It
223
00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:31.320
was just he was denying showing them anything, and he
224
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:34.879
could have been embarrassed or something like that and didn't
225
00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:37.960
want to say it. I don't know, but throughout his
226
00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.759
testimony he was very quiet, and he did appear nervous.
227
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.159
Occasionally he would look in Hancock's direction while being questioned
228
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:51.000
by attorneys now. His story was that he gave Hancock's
229
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.159
phone number in the fall semester of twenty twenty two
230
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:58.600
so she could send him information about an assignment. Shortly thereafter,
231
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.159
he said, they became friends on Snapchat and began sending
232
00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:07.319
each other messages that were not sexual in nature. Eventually,
233
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:10.359
the student said he sent that shirtless picture I told
234
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:16.119
you about, and the attorney asked why he decided to
235
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.200
send that photet, and the student replied, really, honestly, I
236
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.799
couldn't tell you why. All I can say is when
237
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.720
I did send it, she snapped me back and said,
238
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:30.039
are we sending half naked pictures? So the attorney then
239
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.920
asked a student if he was surprised by this response,
240
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.960
and that's a good question to ask me here talking
241
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.720
about the chief of police's wife and beautiful, gorgeous woman.
242
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:43.559
And she responds back about are we sending naked pictures now?
243
00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:46.200
And his response was kind of because it was like,
