Teacher paid underage students for sex with booze, cash, cannabis: Cops

Article content

Disgraced Missouri teacher Carissa Smith has been hammered with 19 charges alleging she traded underage boys booze, cash and cannabis for sex.

And when they threatened to go to the cops, she allegedly tried to intimidate them.

According to reports, Smith, 30, is slated to enter her pleas to the charges in early February.

A probable cause affidavit said the Dixon Middle School supply teacher began sending raunchy nude photos of herself on Snapchat to one of her underage victims. That allegedly led to multiple sex romps.

Cops say that the seemingly insatiable teaching temptress then allegedly began having frequent sex with multiple underage students.

Smith would allegedly pick the boys up and take them to her house for trysts while her hubby was out of town for work. Alternatively, she would arrange meetups in her car.

She would allegedly drive them to a field or the side of the road where she would coerce them into performing sexual acts.

As the sex scheme wore on, Smith allegedly began paying several of the boys cash or sent money via CashApp. In addition, she also allegedly offered them marijuana or booze.

The boys were warned not to tell anyone about the sexual antics because the teacher “would get into trouble”.

On numerous occasions, Smith allegedly paid victims at least $100 to have sex or perform sexual acts with her.

According to the affidavit, word soon spread that Smith was like an ATM when it came to sex. One student even allegedly reached out for a carnal payday but she torpedoed his gambit claiming he was “too young.”

Still, another student was allegedly recruited by a classmate who asked him if “they wanted to do some work and make some money for work.” The youngster went to Smith’s house and allegedly had sex with her while his pal waited outside.

The party ended when the teacher’s brother-in-law caught her in bed with an underage student. His curiosity was piqued by local rumours about his brother’s wife.

The rumours included tales of a video circulating locally showing Smith performing oral sex on one of the students.

Smith was arrested for statutory rape and sex trafficking charges and is out on $100,000 bail. She remains under house arrest.

She is also charged with statutory sodomy, sexual contact with a student, hindering the prosecution of a felony and a charge for patronizing prostitution.

“This is very disturbing and distressing information for everyone in our school community,” School District Supt. Travis Bohrer wrote in a letter to students’ families after Smith was arrested.
