JHS teacher facing rape, sodomy, pornography charges had already resigned

Joplin R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff confirmed to media this afternoon that Joplin High School communications arts teacher Jessica Low, who faces three felony sex charges, submitted her resignation two months and was not returning for the 2014-2015 school year.

Huff's statements were made following a special closed session of the board held this afternoon at the Administration Building at 32nd and Duquesne.

Earlier this afternoon, the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed statutory rape, statutory sodomy, and furnishing pornography to a minor charges against Ms. Low, 32, who was completing her second year as a teacher at the Joplin High School 9-10 campus and her third year in the school district.

    Did she willingly resign? or was she told to resign or be fired? If it were the latter, then might that be because there were earlier rumors about the behavior which has just recently become public?

    Has anyone thought that the teaching candidates must be pretty poor if they're hiring all these perverts? Maybe they shouldn't be driving all the teachers off.
    That said, these abusers are ridiculously evil. Administration accusing someone of this kind of action is an awful way to destroy someone.
