They were trusted to teach, protect, and guide — instead, prosecutors say they crossed unthinkable lines. Court documents and shocking bodycam video lay bare some of the most disturbing teacher cases of 2025. Prosecutors allege a fifth-grade teacher secretly had a child with a 13-year-old student, an elementary school music teacher exchanged more than 30,000 messages with an 11-year-old, and a juvenile detention tutor tried to orchestrate a murder-for-hire plot while abusing a student. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber takes you inside the cases exposing how authority, trust, and access were allegedly weaponized — and how the justice system finally caught up.
