A 1 p.m. April 11 arraignment will be held in Barton County Circuit Court for former Lamar Middle School student teacher Emily Edson, 36, Golden City, who waived her preliminary hearing last week and was bound over for trial on two counts of possessing child pornography, three counts of sexual misconduct involving a child by indecent exposure and one count of enticement of a child.The charges were in connection with incidents occurring at Lamar Middle School in 2017.
The initial arrest of Edson, who was a senior at Missouri Southern State University at the time, came less than two months after she received the top award for middle school education from the School of Arts and Sciences during the annual Academic Achievement Ceremony.
The probable cause statement says a student was interviewed who said his teacher, Edson, "had asked her to have sex with her several times, would speak 'sexually.' to him and had sent him a nude photo.
The 2017 probable cause statement indicated the Southwest Missouri Cyber Crimes Task Force uncovered photos depicting two naked underage boys either having anal intercourse and simulating the act while executing a search warrant Edson's phone.
The search was in connection with a separate Lamar Police Department investigation that eventually led to the new charges.

If she is found guilty, she needs to be put away for a really long time. SICK. Society needs to be protected from predators like this.
She needs to go to prison. I have no doubts that she is guilty. This isn't the first time it's happened in that town. Full of nasty people.
Yes there are some nasty people in Lamar. Their headlines are usually meth.
This person isn’t from Lamar. She was a Southern student teacher.
Maybe some help and compassion instead of judging her.
