Smith was arrested in Nov 2024 facing 19 different charges. She pleaded guilty to less serious offenses and also revealed she broke a student’s phone who had video of her during intimate moments. Another student reported about a student getting recruited on the pretext of “they wanted to do some work and make some money for work”.
The student was later taken to Smith’s home, where she abused him, and another student stayed guard outside the home. Another student revealed they started meeting in Aug. 2023 while Smith was substituting for his class.
According to police documents, Smith gave her Snapchat username to the students. She used to send obscene photos to the students. The disturbing and distressing child abuse took place in her home and a few different locations.

Many people were disappointed with the teacher’s behavior. One X user commented under the news, “What happened to teaching? Sadly, the job of teaching has devolved solely on Mom.”
Another one commented, “Teachers are supposed to be role models and protect children, not exploit them for their own perverted desires. Smith should rot in jail for her actions and never be allowed to work with children again. The Dixon School District should be heavily fined for allowing such a predator.” Parents also emphasized that authorities and schools cannot always be trusted.
