00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.960
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.440
the Elite. I'm your host, Jim Chapman, and today I

3
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:32.479
am continuing the Bad Teachers state specific series. Today I'm

4
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.960
taking you to North Carolina, home of Michael Jordan by

5
00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.039
the way, and we're going to start in Moxville, North

6
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:42.560
Carolina for this one.

7
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:44.719
At Davy High School.

8
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.759
When on November twenty ninth of twenty sixteen, and I

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.039
want you to imagine this, a basketball game ends, the

10
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:57.000
gym lights are still on, and parents are filing out

11
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.600
and in the parking lot, some students notice something that

12
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.120
stops them cold in their tracks when they see their teacher,

13
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:11.359
Jessica Welch Green, a very attractive brunette twenty seven years old,

14
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:16.840
absolutely locked in a passionate kiss with a seventeen year

15
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:17.799
old male student.

16
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:20.040
Not a hug, not.

17
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:23.280
A friendly peck, though that of course would not be

18
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:28.640
any more appropriate, but a full on, open mouth kiss

19
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.159
right there in public. Now, this single moment would crack

20
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:36.280
open one of the most disturbing teacher student sex cases

21
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.439
in North Carolina history. So let's get into it, and

22
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:45.000
I'm going to start in nineteen eighty nine in Forsyth County,

23
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:50.120
North Carolina, where Jessica Green was born. She grew up

24
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.159
in a very stable, supportive, church going family, and growing

25
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.519
up she seemed like the all American girl. She was

26
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.239
especially great with kids. During her teenage years, she was

27
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.439
a babysitter. She was even a nanny for several people,

28
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:12.280
and she gained a reputation for being responsible and trustworthy,

29
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:16.240
a girl that was going places. Now after high school,

30
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:20.439
she would attend and graduate from Salem College. This is

31
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.840
in Winston Salem, North Carolina, and she was smart three

32
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:30.120
point eight gpa upon her graduation. So in twenty fourteen,

33
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.000
she gets married, and it's not what you would describe

34
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.479
as a great marriage. She would say later in court

35
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.759
records that the marriage would quickly become abusive. Her new

36
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:48.080
husband had some pretty serious drug and alcohol issues and

37
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:53.800
was both verbally and physically violent, she would allege. She said,

38
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.599
he would use her as a punching bag. He would

39
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.639
call her ugly, stupid, and although she would keep this

40
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.280
abuse secret from most people, she was going through it

41
00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.520
at home, according to her. Now, in twenty fifteen, she

42
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.400
has a young daughter, and according to Jessica, she struggled

43
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.240
pretty hard after her pregnancy with postpartum depression.

44
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.000
She also would.

45
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:25.159
Mismanage her diabetes. She would lose a bunch of weight.

46
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:30.159
She would completely isolate herself from people and appeared very depressed.

47
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:34.840
Now by twenty sixteen, things would start looking up for her.

48
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.039
She would land a job as an English.

49
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.360
Teacher at Davy High School, and once she started there,

50
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:46.960
she would quickly become one of the most popular teachers

51
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.039
at that school.

52
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.879
The students absolutely loved her.

53
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:55.280
And her teaching style was very unique. She was very

54
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:59.960
highly regarded from the staff as well. On paper, jess

55
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.240
Ysica seemed like the perfect teacher that every parent would

56
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.560
dream of. So everything explodes in November of twenty sixteen. Now,

57
00:04:08.599 --> 00:04:13.960
according to court documents, this is when the inappropriate contact starts.

58
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.600
A seventeen year old boy, which I'm going to refer

59
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.800
to as Student A, who was in Jessica's English class.

60
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.000
They start texting.

61
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.600
And texting a lot, and those texts quickly turn sexual,

62
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.519
which would be proven later with screenshots. Then a physical

63
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:42.720
relationship starts. The investigation would later document at least three

64
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.600
separate acts of full on intercourse between the twenty seven

65
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.040
year old teacher and the seventeen year old student. These

66
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.040
instances would occur on school property in her car, and

67
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.519
she would also later admit to performing oral sex on

68
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.720
this sty at least twice. So, as I told you

69
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.680
at the start of this one November twenty ninth, twenty

70
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:12.120
sixteen would change everything for her when multiple students would

71
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.120
catch her and this student making out in that basketball

72
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.199
parking lot, and those students would immediately report what they

73
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:25.360
saw to the school the SRO or school resource officer. Now,

74
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.480
when the students reported this, they also reported that this

75
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.759
seventeen year old teen had been bragging to them that

76
00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:35.319
he and Green were in a sexual relationship and had

77
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:40.000
actually gone on dates together, both dinner dates and movie dates.

78
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.439
They also told that SRO that the teen had been

79
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:47.759
dating this teacher for only a couple of weeks, but

80
00:05:47.879 --> 00:05:52.639
had told these other students that he had sex with

81
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:56.600
Jessica in her vehicle in the driveway of a house

82
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.319
that was actually for sale. He had also told these

83
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:05.199
other students that after graduation they planned to be together

84
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.480
and get married. So, of course the SRO he reports

85
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:14.079
all of this to the principal and an investigation officially starts.

86
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:18.399
On December two of twenty sixteen. In that very same day,

87
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:23.360
English teacher Jessica Green is suspended from teaching. Now the

88
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:28.600
Davy County Sheriff's office, they move pretty fast. They start

89
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:32.959
interviewing this seventeen year old student. The student admits to

90
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:38.160
this relationship. He confirmed everything the students, the other students

91
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.600
had already told the SRO of that school. And they

92
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:46.160
also seize his phone which contained just a ton of

93
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.720
evidence text messages, pictures, et cetera. So now it was

94
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.800
time to talk to Jessica Green. And initially she denies

95
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:59.519
intercourse with this student, but she does admit to performing

96
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:03.519
oral sex on the student on two occasions, though she

97
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:09.399
insisted it never happened on campus, although evidence.

98
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.639
Police have recovered had said otherwise.

99
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:15.519
So it is on December thirteenth of twenty sixteen that

100
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:20.519
twenty seven year old Jessica Welch Green is arrested in

101
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.879
charge with three counts of sexual activity with a student.

102
00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.079
And it's important to note that although the consent age

103
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:32.240
in North Carolina is sixteen, the fact that she is

104
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.199
a teacher and therefore a person of authority like a

105
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.759
police officer or really anybody else in a position of

106
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:46.519
authority over such a young person. It's what opened the

107
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.040
door to these charges, so it didn't matter that he

108
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:52.560
was consenting to all of this.

109
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:53.720
She goes to.

110
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.839
Jail, she bonds out on a fifteen thousand dollars bond,

111
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.959
and it's not long before the news is just all

112
00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.399
over the state, then all over the country.

113
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.560
On this one, everybody picks it up.

114
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:12.439
So fast forward to September twenty fifth of twenty seventeen

115
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.160
and Jessica Green, who is by this time twenty eight,

116
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.560
She shows up to a hearing and she does what

117
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:20.120
they all do.

118
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:21.600
She took a plea deal.

119
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.480
In her attorney's statement to the judge, he describes his

120
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.839
client as very depressed, very unhappy, and very unlikely to reoffend.

121
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.440
She then pleads no contests to the charges, and the

122
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.919
judge sentences her to two years in prison, but he

123
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:46.000
suspends that entire sentence. She gets thirty six months probation,

124
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.759
and she must register as a sex offender for thirty

125
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:55.159
years now. One interesting aspect of her sentence was that

126
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.759
she would also have to consent to warrantless searches of

127
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:04.240
her phone and computer devices for life. I'm not saying

128
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.120
that's not deserving, but that's interesting. It's the first time

129
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.159
I've seen that. I didn't even know that was a thing.

130
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:14.840
To be honest, for the rest of her life, someone

131
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.600
from the court or a police officer can just show

132
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.159
up at her house and say, let me see your phone,

133
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.399
and she's got to turn it over right there let

134
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.240
them search it. She was also under a no contact

135
00:09:26.360 --> 00:09:30.039
order with anyone under the age of eighteen outside of

136
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:33.919
her daughter, and that's pretty common when you get sentenced

137
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.639
to these cases. But I mean, let's be honest, she

138
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.240
got off pretty easy. But this story ain't over yet

139
00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:45.000
for Jessica Green because in twenty eighteen. In twenty nineteen,

140
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:49.559
her probation officer caught her dropping her daughter off at

141
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:54.159
a local dance studio and that violated the no contact

142
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.240
under eighteen order because there were a lot of kids

143
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:01.360
there under the age of eighteen. But even worse, it's

144
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:07.960
discovered that Jessica had created sixteen social media accounts under

145
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:14.480
aliases that she never reported to her probation officer as required,

146
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:19.840
with some accounts being described as promiscuous activity. I don't

147
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.840
know if that's an OnlyFans or something, but it doesn't

148
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.639
really specify. I'm speculating there. This prompted the district attorney

149
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:32.279
to say she was not taking her probation seriously. So

150
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:36.279
in twenty twenty she ends up back in front of

151
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:40.440
a judge and she gets sentenced to three months in

152
00:10:40.639 --> 00:11:07.320
jail for those violations. So that's her story. In October

153
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:12.679
twenty nineteen, high ranking Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office deputy Dennis

154
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:18.000
Perkins and his wife Cynthia were arrested and subsequently convicted

155
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:26.759
of over one hundred and fifty sex crimes involving miners.

156
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:34.360
During the investigation into these crimes, an eighteen minute video surfaced.

157
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:39.000
This video would show Dennis Perkins and another woman, initially

158
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:44.519
thought to be Cynthia, performing sex acts on a seemingly unconscious,

159
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:53.080
unidentified female. Further investigation would reveal that the female performing

160
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:57.720
those sex acts was a popular Livingston Parish realtor by

161
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:07.279
the name of Melanie Carton. In twenty twenty, Curtin was arrested,

162
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.519
and in December of twenty twenty one, curtain was convicted

163
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:16.440
and sentenced to life in prison for aggravated rape plus

164
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:23.519
five years for video voyeurism. However, in twenty twenty three,

165
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.320
that case was thrown out after an appeals court ruled

166
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:32.799
that not only did the evidence admitted unfairly prejudiced Melanie Curtain,

167
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:37.120
but also ruled that evidence not allowed in during that

168
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.600
trial prevented Curtain from mounting a proper defense.

169
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.639
Despite this ruling.

170
00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:50.799
The Louisiana Attorney General's Office continued to pursue the case

171
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.799
under reduced charges of third degree rape in video voyeurism.

172
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:00.440
On March seventeenth, twenty twenty six, after a re trial

173
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:06.039
on those reduced charges, Curtain was found not guilty unanimously

174
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.799
by a twelve person jury.

175
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.480
What happened in this case?

176
00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:14.919
How can a person go from being unanimously convicted to

177
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:19.399
life in prison to being found not guilty just three

178
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:25.080
years later unanimously by a jury in the same community.

179
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.039
In this series, I will bring you inside the courtroom

180
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:33.679
and cover the case exactly how it was presented in court.

181
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:37.159
I'll give you the backstory of what led up to

182
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:43.279
the initial investigation into Melanie Curtain, and let you decide

183
00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:49.720
guilt or innocence. This is eighteen minutes The Trials of

184
00:13:49.799 --> 00:14:10.200
Melanie Carton Unexposed Investigates podcast docuseries. We'll move on to

185
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.600
the next one and that brings me to rocky Mount,

186
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:14.679
North Carolina.

187
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:16.200
I'm gonna tell you about a.

188
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.879
Twenty five year old, smart, local teacher who threw it

189
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:24.080
all away when she got arrested for having sex with

190
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:28.799
three male students, two seventeen year olds and a sixteen

191
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.360
year old, all off campus. Her name was Aaron mcculloffe,

192
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.480
and she was born and raised in Rocky Mount, North

193
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.519
Carolina and Rocky Mount. When I researched it, I was

194
00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:44.679
pretty surprised. It's a rather large city, sixty thousand residents,

195
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:49.080
so Aaron fits right in there. She graduates from high

196
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:54.679
school in twenty ten, very popular, very pretty. In college,

197
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:59.960
she is your typical sorority girl. She's known as extremely small.

198
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.080
She even joined the math club in college, one of

199
00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:07.840
my weakest subjects, and to those that knew her, she

200
00:15:08.159 --> 00:15:11.679
was very straight laced, or at least she appeared to be.

201
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:16.840
So she graduates in math, that was her major, and

202
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:21.320
she gets her teaching credentials in August of twenty sixteen,

203
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:25.960
just nine months before everything I'm about to tell you

204
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:30.080
about took place. She lands a job at Rocky Mount

205
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.639
Prep School, which is a charter school in what's done

206
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.799
as Nash County, and she's teaching high school math. And

207
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.039
at this point she is twenty four years old, very

208
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:45.679
well liked, very trusted, considered a professional. The whole nine

209
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:50.840
nobody saw what was coming or did they well never know,

210
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.799
because that school shut their doors pretty quickly after this incident.

211
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.399
So Rocky Mountain Prep was a nice little charter school.

212
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.120
A guy named Todd Popkin was the head of that

213
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.600
school at the time, and he actually hired Aaron in

214
00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:11.159
August of twenty sixteen. Now, by May fourth of twenty seventeen, she.

215
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:12.200
Was out of a job.

216
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.039
The very next day, school administrators they contact police and

217
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:21.039
they let them know a complaint came in regarding inappropriate

218
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:26.480
relationships with Aaron mccauliffe and some students. Plural police start

219
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.559
investigating and they interview faculty, they interview a whole bunch

220
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:35.399
of students, and what they discover is these allegations involved

221
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.720
three male students who were all students at Rocky Mountain Prep.

222
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919
And as I said, two of those are seventeen year olds.

223
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:45.559
One of those was a sixteen year old. Now, every

224
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:49.080
single one of these encounters occurred off campus, from what

225
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.159
I understand, and that's actually more of a key point

226
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.200
than you may think. She wasn't dumb enough to do

227
00:16:56.519 --> 00:17:01.240
any of these acts on campus, which meant likely she

228
00:17:01.399 --> 00:17:04.920
knew what she was doing was illegal. That would make

229
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:07.480
it pretty hard for her to hide behind the well.

230
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:10.319
The concent age was sixteen, and I thought, because they

231
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.119
were sixteen, if they consented to having sex, there was

232
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.519
nothing wrong with that. I didn't know that I was

233
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.839
a teacher and that I could not engage in sex.

234
00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:20.440
With these people.

235
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:25.039
She can't use that defense because she was intentionally doing

236
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.960
this off campus. She knew her role as a teacher

237
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.559
made it illegal. So by June eighth of twenty seventeen,

238
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:40.039
she gets formally charged. She's arrested. She posted twenty thousand

239
00:17:40.039 --> 00:17:46.480
dollars bond on three felony counts of sex activities with students. Now,

240
00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:49.359
in the first case, I told you news exploded, But

241
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.559
in this case it was like an Adam.

242
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.480
Baum going off.

243
00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.160
TMZ picked it up the Daily Mail, and it was

244
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.079
primarily because of her looks.

245
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.680
The chick was good looking.

246
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.359
All the headlines where ad hot math teacher gets busted

247
00:18:06.480 --> 00:18:11.079
for sleeping with three students. Now, this time, Aaron mcculloff

248
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.839
is twenty five years old. So she appears in court

249
00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:20.200
and she walks in and she's wearing sunglasses, she's covering

250
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.839
her face. She didn't have anything to say to the media,

251
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:28.839
and she does her plea, which is obviously not guilty

252
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:33.319
at that point. Now, this case literally drags.

253
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:35.039
Through the system for years.

254
00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:38.759
When I tell you, none of the details outside of

255
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:42.680
the arrest came out. That is the facts of it.

256
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:47.920
There was no trial in this one. She pleaded, just

257
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.599
like they all do, on October twenty ninth of twenty eighteen,

258
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:58.640
to just one count of taking indecent liberties with a student.

259
00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:04.279
No pro in time, she gets eighteen massupprobation. And this

260
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:08.880
is a case, y'all, with three separate victims. Wrap your

261
00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:13.160
head around that around again. What would have happened if

262
00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.039
that would have been a male teacher and he had

263
00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:22.440
screwed three underage kids. It is unreal to me. But again,

264
00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:33.960
North Carolina, no information to pull from.

265
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.039
Jim, Did you see what happened in Texas today?

266
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.759
Wait before you tell me that, let me tell you

267
00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:40.000
what happened in New York.

268
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.000
It cannot be as crazy as the case I told

269
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.559
you about yesterday in Louisiana.

270
00:19:43.720 --> 00:19:46.680
You know what we should do a podcast.

271
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:49.200

278
00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:18.480
in the description of this podcast. Let's go to our

279
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.880
last bad teacher for today, and I'm going to tell

280
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.319
you about the story of a teacher who had every advantage,

281
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:29.559
a study job, kids that looked up to her, you

282
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:33.319
name it, threw it all away for a student that was,

283
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:34.720
in this case.

284
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:36.519
Fifteen years or younger.

285
00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:38.839
And the reason I say it like that is the

286
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.119
charges tell me that, but no specific age has ever

287
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:43.720
put out there.

288
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:43.880
Men.

289
00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:49.079
North Carolina locks these things down almost to a negative extent.

290
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:50.799
And I'll talk about that in a minute.

291
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:55.160
But this teacher's name is Elizabeth Bailey, and in twenty

292
00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:59.400
twenty two she was arrested for statutory rape. That's how

293
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:03.319
we know fifteen years or younger. But here's what makes

294
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.839
her case really different from prior cases we have covered

295
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:12.039
on bad teachers. In her case, even after she gets arrested,

296
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:18.039
she keeps right on seeing this kid nine different times

297
00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:23.000
at her own house. Then even more shocking details come

298
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.599
out in this case, and I'll tell you about those

299
00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:27.680
when I get to them, but let's get into it.

300
00:21:28.079 --> 00:21:32.039
She was born in nineteen eighty six, Elizabeth Bailey, and

301
00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:35.359
by the time all this came out, she was thirty

302
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:40.359
six years old and she was living in Statesville, North Carolina,

303
00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:45.079
which is a small town about forty miles north of Charlotte.

304
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:48.759
Now Elizabeth was not new to teaching either. She was

305
00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.279
a vet.

306
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:55.960
She had over twelve years of teaching experience, knew better right. Eventually,

307
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:01.640
she landed a job as a science teacher at Northview Academy,

308
00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.000
and she worked her way up the ranks, first as

309
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:09.000
a teaching assistant, then she started working with kids with

310
00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:13.119
special needs. Eventually she ends up the science teacher. Now,

311
00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:18.480
Northview was not a typical school. It was an alternative school.

312
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.640
It was for kids who had got kicked out of

313
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.480
regular school. There aren't your straight A, honor roll students

314
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.440
here at this school, and it was Elizabeth Bailey's job

315
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.039
to get them on the right track. And you're seeing

316
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:37.759
what she's doing here now, all seem fine with Elizabeth

317
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:42.319
Bailey until July twenty second of twenty twenty two, when

318
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:45.799
somebody we still don't know who could have been a student,

319
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.559
could have been another teacher, could have been a parent.

320
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.680
But someone tips the school off to the fact that

321
00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:57.480
Miss Bailey is having an inappropriate relationship with one of

322
00:22:57.480 --> 00:23:01.839
her students, and detectives they they start digging, They talk

323
00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:06.720
to staff, they talk to students, and within mere days

324
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:11.240
of doing this they already have enough evidence to make

325
00:23:11.240 --> 00:23:15.160
an arrest. So on August first of twenty twenty two,

326
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:20.359
that arrest happens, and Miss Bailey is charged with three felonies,

327
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:26.000
including statutory rape in decent liberties with a miner and

328
00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.359
sexual activity with a miner. And although the age of

329
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:34.400
this kid has never been released, we do know the kid,

330
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:37.759
as I told you, was at the most fifteen years old,

331
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:40.880
could have been younger. So she makes a seventy five

332
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.359
thousand dollars bond. She goes home with an ankle monitor

333
00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:49.160
after her arrest, and then just eight days later, on

334
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.680
August eighth of twenty twenty two, more charges, including contributing

335
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:58.119
to the delinquency of a miner, are placed against her

336
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.920
and they pick her back up. They must have figured

337
00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:04.440
out as part of this investigation that at some point

338
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:08.599
she was giving this kid beer or drugs or something.

339
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.160
So she goes back to jail, she bails out again,

340
00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:17.599
and by September of twenty twenty two, police are shocked

341
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:21.759
when it's discovered that after her arrest, when she was

342
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.720
under a no contact order with this kid, Miss Bailey

343
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:29.720
had met with the boy nine more times. Now, this

344
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:34.119
is between her August first arrest and September second of

345
00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:37.960
that year. Nine times in just one month. And what

346
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:40.960
do you think they were doing inside of that house?

347
00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.279
Right?

348
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:46.920
They hit her with twenty seven additional charges and her

349
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:51.680
bond jumps to eight hundred thousand dollars. She heads back

350
00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:54.559
to jail, and with an eight hundred thousand dollars bond,

351
00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:59.319
you would think she's gonna stay there. But shockingly, somehow

352
00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:04.680
she may images to make that eight hundred thousand dollars bond.

353
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:10.279
So think about this. She's arrested, she totally ignores her

354
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:14.880
bond conditions, seize this kid nine more times in a month.

355
00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:17.599
I don't consider that a screw up. I consider that

356
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:23.880
a pattern, and sadly, that pattern would continue further, if

357
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.720
you can believe that.

358
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:29.759
When over six months later, one of those you can't

359
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.920
make this shit up situations happens.

360
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.759
On the afternoon of May thirteenth of twenty twenty three,

361
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:40.759
she gets into an auto accident, so police show up

362
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:44.920
in Miss Bailey. She appears like she had been drinking,

363
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.240
but when police show up, she was sitting in the

364
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:50.039
front passenger seat.

365
00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:51.640
No one else is there.

366
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.359
Now witnesses to the crash confirm she in fact had

367
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:59.920
not been driving. As a matter of fact, the witness

368
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.759
is say the driver in a rear passenger in that

369
00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.400
vehicle fled from the scene after the accident.

370
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:08.319
So get this.

371
00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:12.920
The very next day police locate the two people who

372
00:26:13.079 --> 00:26:17.599
fled that scene. Both were miners, and the one driving

373
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:23.359
was the same freaking kid she had been ordered to

374
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:28.440
stay away from. So again she's put into jail. But

375
00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:32.640
hold on to your ass. Here she bonds out again.

376
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.920
I mean, how do you not earn a no bond

377
00:26:37.440 --> 00:26:42.759
in this instance? It is absolutely nuts to me. So

378
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:48.119
from here the case drags on, and in the strangest

379
00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:53.200
case I have come across in quite a while, there

380
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:55.799
is no record of her conviction.

381
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.559
And the only way I knew.

382
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:04.799
That she was convicted, was that her teaching license was revoked,

383
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:10.079
and in that revocation it mentioned due to a conviction

384
00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:15.680
for sexual exploitation of a child. And that's frustrating. I

385
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:21.240
understand you have to protect minor victims. I don't need

386
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:27.599
another names, but the situations are important. Why because a

387
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:31.559
parent can sit down their kid and go over what

388
00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:36.240
happened in a certain situation and explain to them, if

389
00:27:36.279 --> 00:27:39.799
you're ever in this situation, these are the possible things

390
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.720
that can happen. I know it sounds weird. No one

391
00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:45.759
wants to have that conversation with their kids, but you

392
00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:49.240
have to these days, you absolutely have to. When you

393
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:51.920
I don't want to use the word hide, but when

394
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:57.319
you protect cases to this extent, it really does a

395
00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:04.640
disservice to the public. I'm disappointed in North Carolina. On

396
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:09.240
my Bad Teacher's Consequence Scale. Of course, every week I

397
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:13.039
rate the three to four cases that I cover and

398
00:28:13.119 --> 00:28:13.960
I give them a.

399
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:18.440
Grade A through F on what I call my Bad.

400
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:23.279
Teachers Consequence Scale, and I want to congratulate North Carolina.

401
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:28.599
You get a big fat F on the Bad Teacher's

402
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:33.519
Consequence Scale for several reasons. One at least from the

403
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:38.839
cases that I covered here. Your consequences are absolute bullshit.

404
00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:42.400
How the hell did that last teacher I told you

405
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.920
about get out of jail four times and continue to

406
00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:50.079
screw up. How is it that none of these teachers

407
00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.200
got me jail time. I don't know if the final

408
00:28:53.279 --> 00:28:55.960
teacher I covered did or didn't.

409
00:28:56.079 --> 00:29:00.440
Because they don't put it. There's not even on it.

410
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:03.839
I would say the news agencies in North Carolina need

411
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.319
to tighten up as well, and y'all need to get

412
00:29:06.319 --> 00:29:12.359
the information. It's just crazy. Do better, North Carolina. It's important.

413
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:14.279
But there you have it.

414
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.519
And before I get out of here today, if you're

415
00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:22.400
a member of the Patreon page, I posted a piece

416
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:25.680
of artwork if you will, of a series I have upcoming.

417
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:28.599
I've been a little bit quiet on Patreon the last

418
00:29:28.680 --> 00:29:32.319
two weeks and really on the Facebook the last two weeks,

419
00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:35.279
and that's because I've been inside of a trial, a

420
00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:39.440
very high profile trial right here in my community. It

421
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:43.319
is finally wrapped up, and I am dropping a docu

422
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:46.599
series on this not exactly sure when I'm gonna drop it,

423
00:29:46.640 --> 00:29:50.720
because I'm going to record all of these episodes as

424
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:53.519
part of this series prior to actually starting it.

425
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.880
It'll all be done by that point.

426
00:29:55.920 --> 00:29:59.880
The series is titled eighteen Minutes the Trials of Melon

427
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:06.960
Carton and it's an Exposed Investigates podcast docuseries. It'll be

428
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.200
heading your way, so I hope you all look forward

429
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:13.680
to that, and again check out the Patreon for commercial,

430
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:16.319

I'm back on track with that bonus episode coming soon.
