According to ABC17 News, the witness showed photographs of scratches on the victim's back from an alleged encounter in the driveway of the witness' home. They even spoke of a phone call between the boy and Hailey Clifton-Carmack.
The witness pointed out that Hailey has been in trouble with the school authorities previously for "being too close with students." Court documents elaborate that she would often wear "tight or low-cut shirts" and "tight leggings that showed off her camel toe," as per Daily Star.
When initially questioned by the police on December 8, the recently divorced teacher denied having any s*xual relationship with any student. While the police immediately confiscated her phone, they could not access it till a warrant was issued on December 22.
