Strap in, folks, because this one’s a wild ride straight out of the “you cannot make this stuff up” files. Meet Madeline Gregory aka Madeline Scoon, a married high school teacher who apparently thought stealthy romance in a school closet was a good idea.
Yes, you read that right. A school closet, not a hotel, not a secluded cabin. A closet. Somewhere between the janitor’s broom and the coat hooks, Ms. Gregory decided to take “after-school activities” to, let’s call it “extreme.”
Authorities say she was arrested for having relations with a 16-year-olf student. And yes, it was her student.
Scoon, 29, was a teacher at Sprague High School, where she allegedly met the 16-year-old victim.
The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office confirms she’s been charged with suspicion of sexual misconduct with a minor and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes.
Scoon and the teen spoke to cops on Monday. She said she had sexually assaulted him and performed oral sex on the child.
The alleged afterschool sexual assaults happened in a large closet in her classroom, police said in a statement.
Investigators allegedly recovered video of the two entering her classroom well after school hours. The two remained inside her classroom for 45 minutes.
Scoon also allegedly said they kissed and fondled each other’s private parts in a closet within the school’s gym as well as in the bushes outside of the high school tennis court after tennis practice.
The teen reportedly told investigators the sexual abuse started having an adverse impact on his mental health.
He allegedly told cops he tried ending things with Scoon, but his teacher would get upset and threaten to kill herself.
At the end of the day, this story is shocking, bizarre, and almost cartoonish, but sadly, it’s real. And for Ms. Gregory, those closet days are officially over. For the rest of us? We’ll be double-checking the hallways before grabbing a pencil.
