A former teacher in Oklahoma faces four years in prison for engaging in sexual acts with a 15-year-old student through Snapchat and other means
The 28-year-old teacher maintained her innocence during the trial. But evidence from Snapchat told a different story. It all started when the student asked for help with an assignment.
After he shared his number, Hancock sent him a friend request on Snapchat. Things escalated quickly. They exchanged shirtless photos and even made out in a classroom.
The student testified that Hancock groped him and let him use her vape. The relationship came to light when he confided in a friend. Hancock denied everything when confronted.
However, a search warrant revealed videos of their encounters. Despite being married to a police chief, she was sentenced to six years, with four to serve.
Her husband stood by her, claiming she was innocent. But the evidence was overwhelming. The case raised questions about how women are treated in similar situations.
Hancock was acquitted of some charges but must register as a sex offender. This case serves as a reminder of the serious consequences of such actions.
