the Huffington Post report:
Detective
Benjamin Clayton of the Lexington Police Department obtained a signed statement
from the victim, in which the boy outlined several encounters with Phillips
between December 2013 and February 2014.
“The
juvenile corroborated this statement by explaining that he had a video of
Phillips performing (a sex act) on him,” Clayton wrote in his report. “The
juvenile showed me the video, and the video does appear to show Phillips’
face.”
The
teen also said that he and Phillips called and texted each other numerous
times, but that he deleted a lot of their communication and was not sure if the
teacher did the same. Both Phillips’ and the victim’s phone were seized as part
of the police investigation, which is ongoing.
Phillips
was held in Davidson County jail on a secured bond of $50,000, according
to Fox affiliate WGHP. She no longer works at the school.
