Glamorous Mississippi art teacher, 27, is arrested for sending inappropriate pictures to a 16-year-old student: Busted when another child found out

A glamorous high school art teacher in Mississippi has been arrested after she was accused of sending inappropriate photos to a 16-year-old student.

Emily Swinkowski, 27, is charged with enticement of a child and child exploitation in connection with the incident, the latest case of alleged inappropriate relationships between teachers and students in the US.

While working at Water Valley High School, she was arrested after allegedly sending the student nude photos.

Another student heard about the photos and tipped off the principal, who contacted police, District Attorney Jay Hale said.

Swinkowski resigned and turned himself in to authorities last Monday. She was released on a $50,000 bond.

Tracy Walder, a former FBI special agent and CIA officer, told the story Law & Crime they see more cases like this because people start teaching at too young an age.

“I wonder if part of it is the excitement of having that kind of power over an individual, which is pretty gross,” she said.

There are still stories of young teachers sexually harassing and abusing students across the country.

Jessica Lawson, 36, an Arizona native, taught at South Fremont High School from 2021 to 2023.

On November 6, a teenage boy – described as 16 or 17 years old – was confronted with a traffic stop for driving a car without visible taillights. Authorities discovered the car belonged to Lawson, who the boy said was allowed to drive because she was too drunk.

Court documents show the boy admitted to having marijuana at the time.

Police took the minor boy home that night, but the next morning his parents gave authorities more details.

The parents alleged that Lawson picked up the teen at 11 p.m. on Nov. 6 and drove him to her home in Saint Anthony, Idaho.

Once there, she and the teen had sex after getting drunk and high at her home.

According to the boy’s mother, Lawson admitted to some of the allegations. She managed to pick him up from his house and take him to her house, where she gave him liquor.

However, they both denied that “anything else happened” and said she did not give him marijuana even though there was marijuana in the house.
