A church leader told the Federal Bureau of Investigation that Gray had confessed during a counselling session in 2023 that "the relationship was sexual."
A teacher from the United States has been arrested for sexually abusing a teenager she met at an Arkansas church, as per a report in the New York Post. Twenty-six-year-old Reagan Gray was arrested earlier this month after it became apparent that she had been abusing the 15-year-old since 2020 while volunteering at the Little Rock Immanuel Baptist Church.
According to court documents, the boy's parents reported the woman to a senior pastor at the church after finding several text messages on their son's phone at the time. She "bombarded" the teen with nude photos, according to the investigation.
While receiving counselling, the woman, who worked as a teacher at Little Rock Christian Academy, was suspended from her volunteer role for telling church officials that the relationship was not "physical." Later, in February this year, it emerged that the 26-year-old had been texting the 15-year-old on Snapchat.
