Third Grade Teacher Put Students In Lingerie
Email
An Oklahoma teacher was arrested after concerned parents tipped off law enforcement that the woman made their children pose in Christmas lingerie during a pizza and Christmas tree decorating party at her house. That tip led police to discover child porn on her phone.
Kimberly Crain, 47, hosted the gathering on Nov. 11 at her Shawnee, Okla., home for a handful of her students from McLoud Elementary School.
When one third grader’s parents asked her how the party was, she told them “they dressed up in bras and panties and decorated the tree and ate pizza,” according to the police report.
The girl told her parents Crain took a few pictures and started videotaping when the girls “made up a cheer dance.”
Acting on a search warrant, police seized computers and digital storage devices from Crain’s home, where they found deleted nude photos of children on her cellphone.
Crain resigned from her teaching post on Monday and was arrested on Thursday.
Crain has a history of odd behavior. Students reported she would regularly snap photos of certain female students a few times per week while posing on their desks. She also had her students Skype with a mysterious older man named “Uncle G,” according to the police report.
McLoud Elementary School declined ABCNews.com’s request for comment.
Crain is behind bars on $1 million bail.

She may have been arrested but she’ll be back in the classroom on Monday, right? Gotta love how the unions protect their own.

And Sandusky is out on $100,000 unsecured bond? Unbelievable!

bmcgee – thanks for pointing that out. That is incredible. This woman is in jail on a 1million dollar bond, but Sandusky is out on $100,000. Something is wrong there. Sandusky should have been held on a $5 million bond.

Good point itami – but who would pay for it? And who would pay to store all the vido? Certainly not taxpayers.

What a crock of crap! What is this country coming to? Just arrest the people, screw finding the truth! Maybe we need to start policing the police the same way! VIGILANTE STYLE, enough is enough, this is the land of the free, home of the brave. I gave 20 years of my life to protect this nation so the police can act like Russians from the communist era. This country needs a deep long reality check. The politicians have to be fired, the police departments disbanded and new officers trained on how to be SERVANTS, like they are. It starts at the top, OBAMA HAS TO GO!

Hey ABC News- why did a lingerie ad come up with this story? Don’t you think it’s a little unseemly?

S,
So where is this union that is protecting this teacher?, nowhere, so shut up.

No matter how upset this makes me, it pales in relation to the damage done to the victims. I recently became aware of adultsthat I know, whom had been abused as children, They are in constant pain and they do not understand. To be willing to inflict this type of damage on a child that will follow the child for the rest of his or her life is the most despicable crime there is. We as a society can no longer wish this stuff away. Punishment must become severe and lengthy. Castration needs to be an option. Life sentences should be considered. Failure to keep children safe from known pedophiles, should also be a crime.

I am also like many of the posters horrified at the fact that this woman did what she did…but also too I am a mom of a third grader and I would NEVER be okay with his teacher having a tree decorating pizza party at HER HOME!!!! Come on people…that woman is disgusting and should be never allowed to teach again and thrown in jail, but the parents need to be smacked up side the head for dropping their children off at her home and leaving them there…they are 3rd graders for phuck sake, not teenagers, and even if they were teenagers a party at a teachers home without parents, or even with parents is not appropriate!

@Tanya. I have a neice whose in 4th grade, and I have to say, it doesn’t strike me that that would be an issue. Obviously I wouldn’t have brought her over for one on one time at the teachers house, but a class party? We trust the teacher to be with them 5 days a week alone in a classroom. An out-of-class event with all the kids attending doesn’t seem suspicious to me, especially since it seems she never had shown inappropriate actions towards children before. Would you not allow your child to go to a friends birthday party without you? Allowing your child to go to an party with other kids with an adult you trust doesn’t seem foolish to me. Obviously this teacher turned out to be bad, but teachers in general are not someone I would think parents would be naturally suspicious of. And third graders are typically 8-9 years old. Not teenagers, but not infants either.

There are just too many sickies in this world! No way we can have them all locked up, as we do not have the means, the cost is tremendous to the tax payer!
These creeps do not have a conscience or a fear of God in their soul. Actually it is obvious they do not know right from wrong. I consider them brain dead!! It would be so marvelous if all these undesirables would be shipped out to a secluded Island.

This is very serious. This woman was setting up children for a strange man she had on her computer talking with children. Obviously he was probably selecting from the kids he saw. Maybe one of these kids would have gone missing. This woman is very dangerous. They should find out what group of pedophiles she is with.
