The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) is in charge of the criminal investigation against 26-year-old Emma Delaney Hancock because she is the daughter of Wellston Mayor Paul E.
Whitnah and the wife of Wellston Police Chief Alfred Hancock, according to a report by News 9 citing the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. Law&Crime’s study of court records reveals that the OSBI made the arrest.
According to the local news source, the suspect started texting the juvenile boy in October about a homework assignment and reacted to a shirtless Snapchat shot the teen sent weeks later.
According to reports, the substitute teacher was fired and barred from the Wellston Public Schools campus.
The former teacher is now being charged with sending the kid explicit photos and videos of sex activities before kissing the pupil on the mouth at least twice while in a classroom.
The second time the two kissed in class, the teacher allegedly made inappropriate physical contact with the teenage male.
According to court documents analyzed by Law&Crime, Hancock is charged with four crimes.
The accusations include two counts of using technology to seek sexual activity or communication with a kid and two counts of lewd or indecent actions committed against a child under 16.
Both offenses are felonies in Oklahoma, and if Hancock were found guilty as charged, he would have to register as a sex offender.
