Bad Bad Teacher

(08/15/07 - Initial BBT Report)

Stacy Lynn Tucker, 39, a former band teacher at Izard County Consolidated School in Brockwell, Arkansas has been indicted on one count child pornography by a federal grand jury in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Tucker was indicted as the result of an internet sting after he allegedly entered an Internet chat room and began talking with an individual he thought was a 14-year-old female from Mississippi but who was actually an undercover officer in another state.

Allegedly Tucker began chatting in January of this year with the officer and represented himself as an Arkansas couple comprised of a 39-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman and indicated that he wanted to trade “naughty” pictures with the young girl. It is also alleged that Tucker asked if the girl was a virgin and repeatedly asked to role play as a father and daughter, young neighbor or teacher and student.

Over the course of the chats it is alleged that Tucker sent multiple sexually explicit images of adults as well as what appeared to be a self-photograph of a nude white female approximately 11-13 years old to the officer.

It is also alleged that on April 5, Tucker and the girl role played father and daughter and that Tucker initiated a sexually explicit conversation during which he described performing oral sex on the girl and asked her to perform sex acts for “daddy.”

By April officers had determined Tucker’s identity and location and obtained a warrant to search his residence. On June 5, officers confiscated a laptop computer, with a web camera, along with other computer related items, telephone numbers and an envelope bearing possible passwords from Tucker’s residence.

Tucker who worked for the Izard County Consolidated School District as a band teacher for grades 5-12 during the 2006-2007 school year submitted his resignation June 19th.
