A similar case involving an illicit relationship with a student surfaced months prior to Logan Clark's case
The alleged case took place a few months after 34-year-old Kaitlin Glover was accused of establishing an illicit relationship with a student. She was facing multiple charges, including felony lewdness with a child and charges of being a school employee in a position of authority while engaging in s*x with a pupil over the age of 16.
Glover allegedly used to send inappropriate images to the child through Snapchat. According to her arrest report,
"Glover began sending her nude photos through Snapchat. The victim did not tell anyone about their relationship for four years because the suspect said she would kill herself if the victim left her or she would kill herself if she told the police."
Logan Clark's case has put impact on the community. Authorities are trying to unearth additional details regarding the case, to ensure if more charges need to be filed against the former teacher. Along with gathering evidence, authorities have allegedly conducted interviews that made them consider Clark as a suspect.
