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,

244
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.519
if she wasn't okay with it, she would have told

245
00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:53.359
me that she wasn't okay with it. So the student,

246
00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:57.759
in a way maybe was testing her a little bit

247
00:17:57.839 --> 00:17:59.960
to see what her response would be if he sent

248
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.359
a shirtless photo. Maybe he felt like she was flirting

249
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.720
with him a little bit or something. I'm just that's

250
00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:09.839
just my thought process on it. But after the initial

251
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:15.839
interaction on Snapchat, the student said, the relationship did turn sexual,

252
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:19.359
and as I told you, the student confirmed on the

253
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.079
stand that between October twenty third and October thirtieth of

254
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:27.119
twenty twenty two, the student said Hancock sent multiple new

255
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:30.680
photos and videos of each other, including a photo of

256
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:36.599
his direct penis and that video of Hancock masturbating. Now Hancock,

257
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:42.000
she denies that any such images were shared, and unlike

258
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:46.480
similar cases that I have covered, in this case the

259
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:54.400
Oklahoma investigation, the agents said no files were able to

260
00:18:54.480 --> 00:19:00.599
be recovered from Snapchat. The student said it made him

261
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:04.759
uncomfortable to talk about the things that happened to his dad,

262
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:08.079
as you would expect. He was quoted as saying, I

263
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:13.160
was embarrassed and shaken really bad. I just was embarrassed

264
00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:15.599
because I felt like I was letting my dad down,

265
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.000
like he raised me better than that, he was quoted

266
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.240
as saying on the stand. So the student in both

267
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:27.279
of his parents. They told jurors he transferred from that

268
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:31.559
high school to an epic charter school for the rest

269
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:33.880
of his sophomore year, that was the name of it,

270
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.559
and the entirety of his junior year. Both parents said

271
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:41.640
the events had a major impact on their son. His

272
00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:45.960
father told jurors, he gets depressed. He decided he was

273
00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.960
going to go back to Welston High School, which was

274
00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:52.799
the high school in question here this year, and my

275
00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:56.480
wife was just talking to him, probably about a week ago,

276
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:02.480
and he says, it's just not the same, even crazier.

277
00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:06.640
During the trial, on day two of the testimony, before

278
00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:09.759
the jury had entered the court room, the assistant DA

279
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.559
by the name of Rachel Thompson walks over to the

280
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:19.400
defense table and she tells Hancock and her counsel that

281
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:23.920
the prosecution had just found out about another alleged and

282
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:29.200
appropriate incident between Hancock and a student. According to Thompson,

283
00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.079
one of the students set to testify that day get

284
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:38.119
this had revealed that she was once asked to accompany

285
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:45.039
Hancock to get her nipples pierced. So after a short

286
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:49.319
back and forth between the lawyers, the judge ultimately barred

287
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:53.039
prosecutors from bringing up that alleged incident in.

288
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:53.799
Front of the jury.

289
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:57.079
Prosecutors said they have wanted to use the situation as

290
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.039
further evidence than Hancock lacked back with her students while

291
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:07.839
substitute teaching, but the judge seemed to agree with the

292
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.440
defense attorneys, who argued that the incident was outside the

293
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:14.279
scope of the case and that it should have been

294
00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:19.559
brought up earlier if prosecutors wanted to present the allegation.

295
00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:23.799
On day two of the prosecutors also called seven of

296
00:21:23.839 --> 00:21:28.640
the students' friends to testify. Seven of them all said

297
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:34.079
they saw this fifteen year old student in Hancock exchange

298
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:38.559
Snapchat messages and if you said they saw pictures Hancock

299
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:43.359
had sent him. One witness said he saw message Hancock

300
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:47.960
saying she wanted to dress up, meaning Hancock as a

301
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:54.599
stripper for the student on Halloween. Oklahoma investigative agents they

302
00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:58.480
testified that they were able to confirm the existence of

303
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:02.519
multiple messages between the student and an account with the

304
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.839
name Delaney, but were unable to gain the content of

305
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:13.200
those messages. Jason Holisek, an investigator with the DA's office.

306
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:18.200
He testified about his experience asking Snapchat to preserve relevant

307
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:22.160
data and eventually sending a search warrant to the company.

308
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.799
Holisak said He attempted twice to recover the content from

309
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.720
Snapchat servers, but due to the app's default design to

310
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:35.160
automatically delete open snaps from the server, he was unable

311
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:38.720
to recover any snaps from either of the students' accounts

312
00:22:39.480 --> 00:22:43.880
or Hancocks. Now, that allowed the defense to cast a

313
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:47.200
little bit of doubt on whether the content being sent

314
00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:51.920
was explicitly sexual. He pointed out that even though the

315
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:56.079
jury had heard about the naked photos and videos Hancock

316
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:01.559
allegedly sent, there was no physical evidence that the communications

317
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.640
included any content pointing to an inappropriate relationship.

318
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.680
Now, the last two.

319
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.160
Witnesses to testify were the two eighth grade females who

320
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:19.680
I told you Hancock showed those inappropriate videos too. Allegedly,

321
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:24.559
one testified that quote, I remember we were sitting in

322
00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:28.880
the classroom and she was our substitute teacher, and we

323
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:32.039
were in the kitchen area of the classroom and she

324
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:37.000
started laughing at her phone. We asked her what was funny,

325
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.160
and Hancock showed us a video from a Halloween party,

326
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.079
and it was a video of her pulling a girl's

327
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:48.440
pants down and sucking on a fake penis.

328
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:48.759
Wow.

329
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:54.480
Jurors heard from four witnesses called by the defense, including

330
00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:59.680
a friend of Hancock's who attended the Halloween party, Hancock's father,

331
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:04.920
and her husband seth Payer and the chief of beliefe quote,

332
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:08.000
she looked me dead in the eyes and said there's

333
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:11.640
nothing on her phone. I mean, I believe that there's

334
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:16.279
nothing there. This was her husband's quote to jurors. She's

335
00:24:16.359 --> 00:24:21.400
my wife, I believe her. I'm on her side. Hancock herself,

336
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:25.799
as I told you. She took the stand and she said,

337
00:24:26.079 --> 00:24:30.160
the only explanation I have is he was using a

338
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.319
vate pen, which I was in the wrong for, and

339
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.720
the store has got blown up into something it wasn't.

340
00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.480
So the only thing Hancock is admitting to at this

341
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:44.599
time was that she let him hit her vape pen, basically,

342
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:48.039
and that's what she told the principle He was in

343
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.160
her classroom for for forty five minutes that day. On

344
00:24:52.279 --> 00:24:57.720
cross examination, Assistant DA Kelly Tremble pressed Hancock on her

345
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:00.960
claim that all of the witnesses against.

346
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.359
Her were lying.

347
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.200
Remember, they had like seven of his friends, they had

348
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.599
all these other people, and Hancock responded, I feel like

349
00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:10.799
there were a couple of inappropriate instances, but I don't

350
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.799
think that defines who I am as a person or

351
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:18.759
a teacher. The trial ended up lasting three days. Two

352
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:24.759
dozen witnesses were called in this trial, and so after

353
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:29.200
three days of testimony and two dozen witnesses, the jury

354
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:32.799
convenes and they come back and they find her guilty

355
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:39.279
of one count related to sexual messages she sent the

356
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:43.880
fifteen year old and another count for showing the eighth

357
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:47.839
grader's videos of herself kissing another woman and pretending to

358
00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:52.359
perform oral sex on someone at that Halloween party. However,

359
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.559
she was acquitted of three other counts, two of which

360
00:25:56.640 --> 00:26:00.759
were leude or indecent acts to a child unders sixteen,

361
00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.759
and one of which was soliciting sexual conduct or communication

362
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:09.640
with a minor by use of technology. So the jury

363
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:18.279
recommended a six year sentence and delaying Hancock. She gets

364
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:24.480
her sentencing date set for December eighteenth of twenty twenty four.

365
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:34.119
So on that date, Hancock gets sentenced and she sentenced

366
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:39.880
to six years in prison, three for each charge, but

367
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.839
she will only have to serve four years behind bars

368
00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:49.440
if she adheres to the sentence, good time, et cetera,

369
00:26:49.599 --> 00:26:52.200
and she will have to register as a sex offender

370
00:26:52.400 --> 00:26:57.519
upon her release. Now It's important to note Hancock never

371
00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:01.480
admitted to anything she was convicted of.

372
00:27:02.599 --> 00:27:03.559
As a matter of fact.

373
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:09.680
She maintains her innocence, and she says this student is lying.

374
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:13.119
The only thing she admitted to was allowing him to.

375
00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.559
Hit that vate pen that day.

376
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:19.480
Personally, in my opinion, while I definitely believe there was

377
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:24.119
likely some inappropriateness going on here forty five minutes alone

378
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:27.240
in a classroom with a student, I think it was

379
00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.759
more than.

380
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:29.160
A vate pen going on there.

381
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.920
I do concur with the jury's findings that there was

382
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:39.119
a huge, huge lack of physical evidence here. I mean

383
00:27:39.160 --> 00:27:43.519
they didn't have one text or one message. They know

384
00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:45.640
they were messaging back and forth, but they don't have

385
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:47.920
the contents of those messages.

386
00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.839
What did they entell?

387
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:53.839
What were they doesn't mean it didn't happen, but you know,

388
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.440
in this country, you need proof of a crime or

389
00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:01.559
a absolute ton of circumstantial evidence, and I just didn't

390
00:28:01.640 --> 00:28:06.240
see it personally in this one. Don't mean she's innocent,

391
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:11.279
but there's a ton of lack of evidence here. Now,

392
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.720
what about that chief of police husband, Well, as far

393
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.359
as I can tell, he's still standing behind his wife

394
00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:22.640
and he believes her side of it, and they are

395
00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:27.200
still together according to everything I've been able to find.

396
00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:31.359
But what a crazy story. The mayor's daughter and the

397
00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:37.559
chief of police wife arrested for this foolishness, and that

398
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:40.279
is going to wrap up this.

399
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.680
