Overview
- Teresa Whalin, 28, was arrested in Douglas County and booked into the county detention facility, where she is held on a $50,000 bond and has been assigned a public defender.
- Authorities say she faces counts of sexual assault on a child by one in a position of trust, internet exploitation of a child, and stalking, with a formal charging hearing set for Monday after a status hearing Wednesday.
- According to the affidavit, a middle-school student disclosed a year-long sexual relationship that began around April 2023 and involved exchanges of explicit images.
- The filing alleges Whalin created fake phone numbers to contact the student after the breakup and repeatedly drove near the student’s home and route to and from school, causing fear.
- The Douglas County School District placed her on administrative leave and investigators are asking anyone with information or potential victims to contact the sheriff’s office.
