Hailey Clifton-Carmark: Laquey High School Teacher seduced student with skimpy clothing to have sex

A school teacher has admitted to abusing one of her students and deliberately wearing revealing outfits in an attempt to seduce him.

Hailey Clifton-Carmark, 26, said she wore “tight leggings and low-cut tops” to show off her figure for her 16-year-old victim.

Clifton-Carmark, who has two children, was repeatedly told by school authorities that she was “too close with students”.

And now the disgraced maths teacher has admitted to seducing one of her Laquey High School pupils and having sex with him.

The boy’s classmates are said to have acted as “lookouts” while sexual relations took place during school hours.

Having originally denied allegations when they were brought to her by police, Clifton-Carmark fled Missouri on December 23 to visit family in Texas.

Clifton-Carmark’s divorce was finalised after news of the incident reached her ex, and evidence of scratch marks she had left on the boy from when the pair had sex in his driveway was presented to police.

“The alleged misconduct is inexcusable and does not meet the professional standards for district employees,” the district’s superintendent, Kent Stoumbaugh, said.

“The district took immediate action once we were aware of this situation.

“The employee has not been in the district since December 8, 2023, and we do not anticipate her return.”

The allegations first came to light on December 7, 2023.

Clifton-Carmark was subsequently arrested on January 5, 2024, and charged with sexual contact with a student, statutory rape in the second degree, endangering the welfare of a child, and child molestation.

Court documents revealed that texts found on her phone following the execution of a search warrant exposed her affair with the student.

A plea deal has since been signed, dropping the charges to felony sexual contact with a student for the crimes that took place between November and December 2023.

The victim’s father, Mark Creighton, allegedly knew his son was involved in the intimate relationship.

“They are going to do it behind my back, so I may as well let it happen,” Creighton said, according to prosecutors.

“He 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,” prosecutors added.

“He even allowed Hailey to come over to his residence and see the victim while he was present.”

It’s also understood he was aware of the lookouts his son and teacher used during their encounters.

Mr Creighton is facing felony charges for condoning the alleged illicit relationship.

Pulaski County Prosecuting Attorney Kevin S Hillman said his trial is “on hold” until after Ms Clifton-Carmark’s.
