From the same article:

"He was also charged with obstruction of justice after allegedly tossing his cell phone into a river in north Louisiana after finding out investigators were there to take him into custody, a source familiar with the case said."

Doesn't he work in law enforcement? Doesn't he know that his data can be recovered?

I hope both of them rot in jail with no deals on the table.

He works in law enforcement, but he’s in tight with the sheriff and has been caught on video literally planting evidence in the vehicle of someone running against the sheriff. It’s so bizarre and the local message boards have so many stories going around about him and my personal social media is full of parents coming out now stating they thought she was too friendly with the boy students. Hindsight I guess.

My jaw is on the floor with this one and it takes a lot to get my jaw on the floor.

Good grief, they both look so pleased with themselves in their mugshots, I can't figure that out for the life of me.
What a couple of creeps. Both in positions of authority and trust. *shivers*

“According to the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office, the investigation began when the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children alerted them to the possible possession and distribution of child . Investigators soon focused on the couple, and a grand jury indicted them earlier this week.”

Please tell me these two did not have children???? It just seems crazy to me that maybe someone else’s child/children was left in their care at any point, I mean to have THAT MANY counts they were spending an awful lot of time with somebody’s kid(s)! MOO

She is a teacher - maybe students? IMO

60 counts. 60.

Yes, but how would she even be able to get them alone long enough to do....that crap!? I can’t wrap my head around it!

As a teacher it would not seem unusual for her to offer to privately tutor students ? Most parents would not think twice about private tutoring from a teacher whose husband was the SWAT Commander.

Same here -- sounds like she was a very willing participant -- major factor, in reality, I'm sure -- in the "fun & games." What a sorry excuse for a ~woman~.
Now how will all of this affect that not-even-13 years old young man?
The very idea.

Warped, cruel, selfish and very stoopid. Throw the book at both of them. I would think the women with whom she will be incarcerated won't think much of her. Hoping she gets it back x 10.
A school teacher. Damm.

yes, 3 kids in the home I think. At least 1 adopted with her previous husband. They only married in December of last year.

bbm
Child rape but no kidnapping? Where/how did all this happen? Tutoring? Hmmmm. I'd like to know how that horrible couple was able to do all that, as to where and was it just once or what? (Or maybe I don't want to know...)
I hope no one knows who that young boy is -- could you imagine -- I'm sure his parents are ready to stomp someone flat. And I think about his life being affected, the pressure of it, his self esteem,and his view of love and sex possibly being skewed. I hope no one will ever know who he is -- the whispers about him, and all the rest, if he is identified. How does a judge handle this type thing when/if it goes to trial?
He is at a tender age -- he will need counseling, IMO.

Oh wow! Never thought of that!

That's been my thinking, too. Math or science tutoring or writing a paper, reading skills -- it could be anything. I think I would be a bit hesitant about it unless my son was over there (at her house??) with a group. I don't think I would allow it if he was the only one -- nope...
If I knew about it, that is...

Whaaaaaat?!? That makes me sick! My SIL is so loving & she can’t have kids, she can’t adopt (expensive, etc)but these nasty nasty people CAN & look what they do to kids?!? MOO
