Teacher faces jail term for having sex with 16-year-old student

A Missouri math teacher is likely headed to prison after admitting that she had sex with a 16-year-old student while other students served as her “lookouts.”

The boy’s dad still faces felony charges for allegedly condoning the disturbing relationship.

Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested in January 2024 after a student reported their illicit relationship to a school resource officer, and then showed cops a photo of the scratches she left on her victim’s back.

On Friday, September 6, she pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a student, a charge that could imprison her for the next four years, according to the Daily Mail.

The plea deal let her avoid other serious charges, including statutory rape, child molestation and child endangerment.

The teacher will now be on house arrest until her October. 11 sentencing, according to the Dail Mail.

The boy’s dad, Mark Creighton, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child since he allegedly knew about the affair but didn’t report it.
