A 29-year-old married high school teacher, Madeline Scoon, who also answers to Madeline Gregory, is being held on $50,000 bond in Washington following her arrest on Monday, March 16, as she faces charges of suspicion of sexual misconduct with a minor and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.
Scoon worked as a teacher at Sprague High School where the case involves a 16-year-old student.
Scoon and the teen spoke to police on Monday, when she said she had sexually assaulted him and performed oral sex on the child, after school hours, in a large closet in her classroom.
Investigators recovered video of the two entering her classroom well after school hours, for 45 minutes.
Scoon also allegedly said they kissed and fondled each other’s private parts and the same activity occurred in the bushes outside of the high school tennis court after tennis practice.
The teen reportedly told investigators, the sexual abuse started having an adverse impact on his mental health, after which he tried ending things with Scoon, but his teacher would get upset and threaten to kill herself.
The investigation into Scoon began on February 15, after the boy’s mother went to police with texts she had found exchanged between her son and the teacher.
The mother said that it seemed as if the abuse may have started in the fall.
Her curiosity got the better of her after her son started attending the church where Scoon is the youth group leader and so she checked his phone.
In some of the texts Scoon allegedly complained about her marriage problems and discussed with the child how she wanted a divorce.
The two even allegedly exchanged “I love yous,” with Scoon also apparently asking the teenage boy not to date any of his classmates as she’d be unable to take it, police said.
