What happened

Prep school teacher, 27, filmed sex with student she was tutoring: ‘Not my best thinking’ A young Michigan prep school teacher has admitted having sex with a student she was tutoring at his home — a “disgusting” act she even filmed, calling it “not my best…

Why it matters

She was arrested after letting slip to a colleague nearly a year ago that she’d had sex with a 16-year-old male student she was tutoring in 2023, when she was also teaching at Oakside Prep Academy in Waterford Township.

Common ground

She was sentenced after Judge Cheryl Matthews expressed astonishment that she would film the illegal act.

Claim 2: “A young Michigan prep school teacher has admitted having sex with a student she was tutoring at his home — a “disgusting” act she even filmed, calling it “not my best thinking.””
MISLEADING
While multiple sources confirm the general admission of having sex with a student and videotaping the act, the claim uses highly specific, direct quotes ('disgusting act,' 'not my best thinking') that are not directly verifiable across the provided search results. The evidence confirms the act was admitted and filmed, but the specific phrasing and self-admonishment quotes are not corroborated by the search results, making the claim misleadingly specific.
