Arkansas Teacher & Church Volunteer Charged With Sexually Assaulting A 15-Year-Old She Groomed At Church

26-year-old Arkansas teacher Reagan Gray, has been charged with felony assault of a teen.

The church was allegedly aware of the abuse and instead of calling the police, they assigned an “accountability partner” to Gray.

The accountability partner was the pastor’s wife. After the counseling sessions, Gray continued with the abuse. Gray allegedly ‘only’ performed oral s*x on the boy because she wanted him to “stay pure.”

The accused pedoph*le was a teacher at Little Rock Christian Academy and was a member of student ministry at the church.

After the police finally got involved, Gray was a teacher at Sylvan Hills Middle School. She was then suspended.

The boy’s parents confronted Gray and informed head pastor Steven Smith after discovering a series of text messages. Smith said he confronted Gray and suspended her from student ministry despite her insistence that her relationship with the boy was not sexual.

The police were not informed and the church assigned Gray an ‘accountability partner’ in the shape of Smith’s wife, Ashley.

But a police affidavit claims that Gray resumed her abuse after returning from her counselling, switching her communications with the boy to Snapchat.
