Oklahoma Teacher Accused of Sex with Male Student

(Pawnee County, Oklahoma) A 26-year-old English teacher at Prue High School, Katie Megan Hightower, has been accused of engaging in sex with a 16-year-old male student.

Hightower faces charges of second-degree rape of a minor and furnishing an alcoholic beverage to minors.

According to court documents, students at Prue High School told deputies Hightower bought a group beer after a football scrimmage on Aug. 17, took them to her home and disappeared into the bedroom to have sexual intercourse with one of the underage boys.

Hightower rode the bus to and from the football scrimmage and sat next to the boy during the out-of-town trip, an affidavit states.

After returning, Hightower and three students went to Keystone Lake for about an hour, and the students said they overheard Hightower calling the boy "Babe" and then put her head in his lap.

Hightower was booked into custody at the Pawnee County Jail.
