In December 2023, the police obtained a search warrant to check the phone of the accused teacher. After going through the phone’s content, they found a conversation between Clifton-Carmack and the 16-year-old victim discussing their ‘relationship.’
It later came to light that the victim’s father Mark Crieghton was aware of the abuse. He let Clifton-Carmack visit the 16-year-old at home.“They are going to do it behind my back so I may as well let it happen,” he brazened out.
The court documents said, “[Mark] Creighton knew of the relationship of his minor child and the 26-year-old teacher and instead of reporting the information, he continued to cover for them and allowed the relationship to continue’ and ‘even allowed Hailey to come over to his residence and see the victim while he was present.”
The victim’s father was arrested on 3rd January this year and produced in court on 8th January 2023. He pleaded not guilty to first-degree child endangerment. On the other hand, the bail of Clifton-Carmack was set at $2,50,000 (₹2.07 crores).
She will be extradited to Missouri. The school district has informed that it has no plans to re-hire her as a teacher. “The employee has not been in the district since 8th December 2023 and we do not anticipate her return,” it said.
