Washington Teacher Charged in Sexual Misconduct Case Involving 16-Year-Old Student

Bond was set at $50,000 with a court order barring contact with children.

Overview

  • Madeline Scoon, also known as Madeline Gregory, 29, was arrested March 16 near Sprague High School in Lincoln County, Washington.
  • She is charged with suspicion of sexual misconduct with a minor and communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, according to the sheriff’s office.
  • Court records say both Scoon and the 16-year-old acknowledged sexual activity, including intercourse in a classroom closet, encounters in a gym closet and in bushes by the tennis courts, and a meeting off campus.
  • Investigators cite surveillance video of after-hours visits to her classroom lasting up to 45 minutes, along with text messages the boy’s mother found on February 15 that prompted the probe.
  • Police reports note the student described mental health effects and attempts to end the relationship as Scoon allegedly threatened self-harm, and the Sprague School District says it is cooperating with authorities.
