The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office has executed a search warrant at Deer Creek High School looking for evidence in the investigation of an inappropriate relationship between a teacher and student.
Deer Creek High School teacher Sarah Hull-Degroat was arrested last week after school officials and law enforcement found out about the inappropriate contact between her and a student.
Recent court documents show Hull-Degroat was advised by the principal to plead the fifth and ask for an attorney when she was arrested:
Sheriff Tommie Johnson told News 9 Thursday at a press conference, “We’re looking at everything we’re looking into the case, communications between parties, obviously emails, anything that could go into this were looking into that.”
“Investigators were made aware that Deer Creek Public Schools had evidence that was vital to the investigation and that’s why the search warrant was obtained,” Johnson said.
The search warrant stated that “the most complete body of evidence is held within the laptop computers” that were being held at the Deer Creek Administration building.
“Anything that goes on the internet, on computers, there’s always time stamps and digital footprints left behind and you can always track that down,” Johnson said.
Johnson said that Deer Creek school was cooperating with their investigation and did cooperate during the search warrant Wednesday night.
“I believe everything is onward and upward and everybody is on board and they’re participating in the investigation,” Johnson said.
The Sheriff said they are still investigating to determine if the relationship was physical, if there were any other students involved and exactly how long the relationship had gone on for.
Johnson is now advising parents to work to protect their kids and be involved in their lives. “You obviously want your kids to have a level of privacy, but to protect them you have to see what does their email look like, what does their phone look like.”
