Allegation: Teacher exchanged nude photos, videos with student, had makeout sessions in storage room

An Aurora High School shop teacher and assistant football coach exchanged nude photos and videos with a high school girl and had makeout sessions with the girl in a a back room storage area of his shop class, according to a probable cause statement filed today in Lawrence County Circuit Court.

Kyle Doss, 32, who is charged with sexual contact with a student, a felony, waived his arraignment this morning. His next hearing is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, March 3.

Springfield attorney Adam Woody will represent Doss, but was unable to attend today's hearing.

The Aurora R-8 School District placed Doss on administrative leave Thursday and contacted the Aurora-Marionville Police Department.

Court documents don't indicate how R-8 officials discovered Doss' alleged actions.

From the probable cause statement:

On 1/30/2025, I received information from the administrators of the Aurora R-8 School District regarding a teacher having a past inappropriate sexual relationship with a student. 

The teacher was identified as 32-year-old Kyle Doss. The victim was a student in his industrial arts class from 2021-2024.

Doss met with administrators that morning and was placed on administrative leave. During his conversation with school administrators, Doss admitted he made a mistake.

I interviewed CV (Confidential Victim) on the afternoon of 1/30/2025. CV stated she was a sophomore when she first started taking Doss' classes. She and Doss developed a friendly relationship, which eventually became romantic in 2024 during her senior year.

CV explained she and Doss began communicating outside of school, first messaging on Tik Tok, then by phone, then by other social media applications, including Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.

CV stated once she turned 18 during the second semester of her senior year, she and Doss began exchanging sexually explicit photos and videos of one another.

CV explained she began staying after school to visit Doss in his classroom/shop. They would go to a back storage room where they would kiss. (Editor's note: The next portion of the probable cause statement detailed how Doss allegedly fondled her breasts and buttocks and pressed himself against her.) CV explained she and Dodd planned to have sexual intercourse after she graduated, but it never actually happened.

During the interview, CV showed me several messages she exchanged with Doss on Tik Tok. These specific messages began on 04/11/2024. They discussed their romantic fantasies with one another. Doss asked about CV's sexual history. 

Doss fantasized about taking CV to the back storage room. Doss provided his phone number and asked CV to save his number under a girl's name. They began communicating through text message. CV explained she and Doss exchanged most of their nude photographs through Snapchat, but she did shoe me a text message where Doss sent her a shirtless photo.

I served a search warrant at Doss' residence on 01/31/2025. I placed Doss under arrest and seized his cell phone and laptop computer. Doss invoked his right to an attorney, so I did not ask him any guilt-seeking questions. This investigation is still ongoing.
