Female math teacher arrested after allegedly having sex with 16-year-old student, father knew about relationship

A female math teacher in Missouri has reportedly been taken into custody in Texas for having an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old high school student, according to the Daily Mail.

The twist in the case is that the boy's father has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after it was claimed he knew his son to be involved in the relationship.

Hailey Nichelle Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested by the Garden Ridge Police Department on Friday. It is believed the sexual assaults took place in Pulaski County — around 800 miles away from where she was eventually found and arrested by the authorities.

KRCG reported that court documents indicated Clifton-Carmack had sex with the student in her classroom while other students stood watch. It is uncertain whether the other students will be disciplined in the case.

The situation was reported to the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department by the Laquey school resource officer. A student ultimately came forward and revealed photographs of his classmate, who had scratches all over his back.

The student said the scratches were from Clifton-Carmack after they had sex in the classmate's driveway, according to the report.

Clifton-Carmack apparently has two young daughters of her own, and she was recently divorced from Chance Carmack. Chance was a mixed martial arts fighter and had recently completed basic training in the U.S. Army.

Detectives involved in the case visited the school district on December 8 to take up the teacher's phone, but they were unable to see any messages until they got a warrant to unlock it. During this time, Clifton-Carmack denied that she had any kind of relationship with a student outside school.

After obtaining a warrant, the authorities discovered text messages swapped between the teacher and the 16-year-old student.

The student who initially came forward in the case said Clifton-Carmack often dressed inappropriately and that she was too friendly with some of the students at the school. According to court documents, Clifton-Carmack would often show up at school wearing "tight or low-cut shirts" and showed off her "headlights."

The teacher was also known to wear leggings that would "show off her body," and she had apparently been reprimanded by the school for being "too close with students."

Clifton-Carmack had traveled to Texas for the holidays, which explained why she was not in Missouri when the authorities attempted to arrest her.

She was arrested "without incident" and booked into the Comal County Jail.

Reports stated that she was charged with statutory rape in the second degree; sexual contact with a student; endangering the welfare of a child; and child molestation.
