An Oklahoma teacher was arrested on Wednesday after authorities learned that she was allegedly having sex with a male teenage student, PEOPLE confirms.
The Canadian County, Oklahoma, Sheriffs Office began investigating Hunter Day after the teens parents contacted them: Evidence of the illicit relationship including explicit text messages and nude photos were allegedly found on the boys phone.
Day, a 22-year-old science teacher at Yukon High School, is facing charges of second-degree rape, facilitating sexual contact with a minor and possession of child pornography.
This is a classic case of a serious breach of public trust, Canadian County Sheriff Chris West told reporters at a news conference this week, according to local news station KWTV. School teachers are entrusted to protect and educate our children, not to engage in an unlawful sexual relationship with them.
